Solved No mob knockback, only for a few mobs?

Is there any way to prevent knockback on mobs? (also knockback from fireballs, not-enchanted weapons etc.)

Or, as an alternative, just make it impossible for them to move in any way?

What I've done now is spawn a skeleton and give it slowness 15.
But what i want is that it will not be able to move at all. And it does move right now when hit by any kind of weapon...

Would it work to use an EntityDamageByEnittyEvent, check if it's at the location it was before (saved in config) and then cancel the event, then damage the mob manually?

You can set the Velocity.

How would I do that excatly? Because from the experience i have with velocity, it would knock it back at the place it was before

ThePlayerPaul
and the mob deffinetly can't move, since that would mess up the rest of my code xD (all the extra stuff the mob can do will be bound to the mobs location)

Code:java

ent.setVelocity(new Vector(2, 0, 0));

 

What I did for cancelling mob knockback:

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onHit(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
            if (e.getEntity() instanceof Monster) {  //Checks if the damaged entity is a monster (zombie, skeleton etc.)
                final Monster m = (Monster) e.getEntity(); //monster variable
                this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        m.setVelocity(new Vector()); //Sets the velocity a tick after getting damaged, else it won't work
                    }
                }, 1L);
            }
        }

Basically, set the velocity to nothing.

So lets say i use this, and have the mob not to move naturally, is there any other way to move them then?

 

Eh, it's probably possible to move the mob with water

 

MrTang ohyeah.... have to figure thatone out. But thanks for helping!
