Rainbow sheep (help)

How do i spawn a rainbow sheep ? I wan't to spawn a rainbow sheep and name it something like: "Colorful sheep".

 

I dont think that this is possible without having lots of code. Maybe you can name a sheep spawn egg jeb_ and find a way to give it a 'fake name'

 

I saw it in one server, and i don't know how they did that.

 

Nojus

They named a spawn egg of a sheep jeb_ with an nametag

Ask the owner or admin?

They do it by chaning the color every few ticks.

How can i do that?

 

Nojus
Create a BukkitRunnable.
Create a sheep.
Create an array of sheepwool colors in the order you want the sheep to change colors.
Create an int variable which is used as indicator.

Inside the runnable;
check if variable equals arraylength, if so, set variable back to 0.
get color from array using the variable and put it on the sheep.
increase int variable by 1.

Can you make the code, i don't really understand what you said.. (My english is not really good)

 

we don't make a plugin/code for you. you need to learn it by yourself. so what I mean you can begin with making the code and when you have found something that doesn't work, then can you post it here.
here is something that can help you

Code:

Sheep p = Bukkit.getWorld("world").spawn(
                        e.getPlayer().getLocation(), Sheep.class);
                p.setCustomName("§cSwagg");
                p.setCustomNameVisible(true);

 

Is it possible to set the color of the sheep to all possible colours without NMS?

 

Doxygen

 

Code:java

                Sheep p =  Bukkit.getWorld("world").spawn(player.getLocation(), Sheep.class);
                p.setCustomName("§cSwagg");
                p.setCustomNameVisible(true);
                p.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW, Integer.MAX_VALUE, Integer.MAX_VALUE));

Its working but server crashes when i spawn it.. Why? It says: Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.timeout.ReadTimeoutException

 

DxDy that can only change it to the 16 values that mc has (wool colors), or not?

 

Nojus
The error means the connection between client and server timed out.
This error happen with bad internet connection or the server crashing.

 

Aqua
Well then it crashed becouse i host server localy.

 

If you believe that those crashes are connected to your plugin, we need more data. For example any excpetions that pop up, the server crash logs, ...

 

DxDy
Server just freezez and i can't do command or see anything like errors.

FIXED IT

So can someone make the code?

Make it yourself we're not your pets.

 

I made this:

Code:java

            BukkitTask runnable = new BukkitRunnable() {
                int colors = 16;
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    colors -= 1;
                    p = world.spawn(loc, Sheep.class);
                    p.setCustomName("§aS§bp§ca§dl§ev§fo§at§ba §favis!");
                    p.setCustomNameVisible(true);
                    p.setColor(dyeColors[colors]);
                    p.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW, 1000000, 1000000));
 
                    if (colors == 1) {
                        colors = 16;
                    }
                }
            }.runTaskTimer(this, 20L, 20L);

now inside that i need scheduleSyncDelayedTask but i can't put that there... (to remove the sheep after some time) any sugestions?

 

Make your runnable a proper class and store the reference to your sheep instead of spawning a new sheep every second

 

DxDy Thanks. It works!! But i can push the sheep around how to stop that?

 

@Nojust,
use the EntityMoveEvent. Cancel it
