Solved Specify horse type spawned using EntityType.HORSE

Hello Bukkit forums,

I have been messing around with the new 1.6.2 features, and I wanted to code two commands that spawn a skeleton or zombie horse depending on the command. I've got all of the code down to where I can spawn a horse successfully, but I do not know how to specify the horse type to a skeleton or zombie horse. Is there a known way to do this yet? My code is as follows:

Code:java

p.getWorld().spawnEntity(location, EntityType.HORSE);

Thanks!

 

You need to define the horse in a variable

Code:

Horse h = (Horse) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(location, EntityType.HORSE);
h.blahblah()

 

You cant do that with spawnEntity, but with spawn

This my full code now:

Code:java

public class Skeleton implements CommandExecutor
{
    Main plugin;
    public Skeleton(Main plugin)
    {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }
 
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args)
    {
        // Make the letter 'p' a variable for the command sender (or the player).
        Player p = (Player) sender;
 
        // If the player typed /twitter, then do the following...
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("skeletonhorse"))
        {
            Location location = p.getLocation();
            Horse horse = (Horse) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(location, EntityType.HORSE);
            horse.4;
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Skeleton horse has been spawned.");
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "A new mob has appeared at " + location);
 
            // If this has happened, the function will return true.
            return true;
        }
        // If this hasn't happened, a value of false will be returned.
        return false;
    }
}

This is what console spat out at me when I ran the plugin:

How does one use that?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Code:

Horse horse = (Horse) EntityType.HORSE.getEntityClass();
horse.setVariant(Variant.SKELETON_HORSE);
p.getWorld().spawn(loc, horse);

Eclipse is throwing errors when I type that and I'm not sure why. Note that p = player. Here is the code I have:

Code:java

Location location = p.getLocation();
Horse horse = (Horse) p.getWorld().spawn(location, EntityType.HORSE.getEntityClass());
horse.setVariant(Variant.SKELETON_HORSE);
p.getWorld().spawn(location, horse);

It throws the error on the last line for "spawn(location, horse)".

Code:

The method spawn(Location, Class<T>) in the type World is not applicable for the arguments (Location, Horse)

 

Code:java

 
Horse horse = (Horse) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(location, EntityType.HORSE);
horse.setVariant(Variant.SKELETON_HORSE);
 

 

Normally I just do like so: (spawning mobs, that is)

Code:java

 
Horse horse = (Horse) location.getWorld().spawnEntity(location, EntityType.HORSE);
horse.setVariant(Variant.SKELETON_HORSE);
 

 

Beat ya

 

try p.getWorld().spawn(loc, horse.class);

 

molenzwiebel haha, so you did. I hadn't heard of a spawn method before this, though, so I will look into that.

I cut off the .getEntityClass now, thanks!

I tried doing that, and then it wanted me to create a horse.class file. The variable seems to be working, it's just the "spawn" part that is throwing this error:

Code:

The method spawn(Location, Class<T>) in the type World is not applicable for the arguments (Location, Horse)

 

Do NOT use @autoit4you's code. It is completely wrong. Ours will work fine. Try it

 

molenzwiebel
Ahh, okay, it works now! Thank you much for the help!
