Solved [Zombie Navigator Methods] .a(...) is returning false.

Code:java

Zombie s = (Zombie) e;
EntityCreature ec = ((CraftZombie) e).getHandle();
Block to = target.getLocation().getBlock();
PathEntity pf = ((CraftWorld) to.getWorld()).getHandle().a(ec, to.getX(), to.getY(), to.getZ(), 16.0F, true, false, false, true);
Navigation nav = ec.getNavigation();
//nav.a(pf, speed);
//Boolean a = nav.a(pf, speed);
ec.setPathEntity(pf);
ec.setGoalTarget((EntityLiving) target);
//Bukkit.getLogger().info(a.toString());

At first, I tried the commented out code. The line: Boolean a = nav.a(pf, speed); kept returning false, indicating that the navigator rejected it. ec.setPathEntity(pf) and ec.setGoalTarget don't seem to work either. The target is not null, and when this code runs, the zombies wander around like they normally would. Any help would be appreciated!

(I am certain this code runs by the way)
(I am running 1.5.1 R0.1 Latest as of this post)

 

Hmmmm...this is confusing...i'm thinking...

 

From hours of painfullness, what your trying to do won't work.

I would cut your losses, and look at API's such as RemoteEntties and MobAPI, they have exactly what your looking for .

 

Ok, I'll take a look. This works perfectly with villagers though!

Naviagtion .a() seems to work in a 20 block radius, otherwise, the navigator rejects it.

Got it! The navigator won't accept paths over a certain distance, so I created method that creates "checkpoints" along a path to a end location, so that I can use the new Bukkit AI.

Thanks for you help guys!

Mind sharing the code you have? Been trying to get a similar problem solved, and your code might just do the trick.
