for most of them, just one i want custom which is in the onLivingUpdae() method. and before you point me toward your tutorial, i have looked at it and thats how i got to this point, i just cant get it to play in game. public void onLivingUpdate() { super.onLivingUpdate(); this.field_70888_h = this.field_70886_e; this.field_70884_g = this.destPos; this.destPos = (float) ((double) this.destPos + (double) (this.onGround ? -1 : 4) * 0.3D); if (this.destPos < 0.0F) { this.destPos = 0.0F; } if (this.destPos > 1.0F) { this.destPos = 1.0F; } if (!this.onGround && this.field_70889_i < 1.0F) { this.field_70889_i = 1.0F; } this.field_70889_i = (float) ((double) this.field_70889_i * 0.9D); if (!this.onGround && this.motionY < 0.0D) { this.motionY *= 0.6D; } this.field_70886_e += this.field_70889_i * 2.0F; if (!this.isChild() && !this.worldObj.isRemote && --this.timeUntilNextEgg == 0) { this.worldObj.playSoundAtEntity(this, "mochickens:sounds/layDiamond", 1.0F, 1.0F); this.dropItem(Item.diamond.itemID, 1); this.timeUntilNextEgg = this.rand.nextInt(1) + 60; } } specifically this block of it if (!this.isChild() && !this.worldObj.isRemote && --this.timeUntilNextEgg == 0) { this.worldObj.playSoundAtEntity(this, "mochickens:sounds/layDiamond", 1.0F, 1.0F); this.dropItem(Item.diamond.itemID, 1); this.timeUntilNextEgg = this.rand.nextInt(1) + 60; } line is this.worldObj.playSoundAtEntity(this, "mochickens:sounds/layDiamond", 1.0F, 1.0F);

I have looked at several other threads and tutorials on this but it just doesnt seem to want to work. I am trying to add a custom sound to a mob, though this sound isnt nessecary i would still like to add it to my mob. here is what i have. classes: As i said, i have tried everything i have seen to fix this. the sound file is in src/assets/mochickens/sounds/layDiamond.ogg

i figured it out. i got around the static problem by setting a variable equal to the owner. then i did some logger data to fix issues with the tempting player and the owner not matching when i knew it should match. so now here is my updated shouldExicute() method. public boolean shouldExecute() { String owner = this.getTemptedEntity().getDataWatcher() .getWatchableObjectString(17); if (this.getDelayTemptCounter() > 0) { this.setDelayTemptCounter(this.getDelayTemptCounter() - 1); return false; } else { this.setTemptingPlayer(this.getTemptedEntity().worldObj .getClosestPlayerToEntity(this.getTemptedEntity(), 10.0D)); if (this.getTemptingPlayer() == null) { return false; } else if (this.getTemptingPlayer().getEntityName() != owner) { return false; } else { ItemStack itemstack = this.getTemptingPlayer() .getCurrentEquippedItem(); return itemstack == null ? false : itemstack.itemID == this .getBreedingFood(); } } } ive tested it and it works like it should, i can now finally get on and finish the mod! thank you for your help.

so ive tried multiple ways to get the owner but none of them have worked, this is where i have stopped: package mods.mochickens.misc; import net.minecraft.entity.EntityCreature; import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase; import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAITempt; import net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntityTameable; import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; class ChickAITempt extends EntityAITempt { public ChickAITempt(EntityCreature temptedEntityInit, double movementSpeedInit, int temptingItemIDInit, boolean scaredByPlayerMovementInit) { super(temptedEntityInit, movementSpeedInit, temptingItemIDInit, scaredByPlayerMovementInit); } @Override public boolean shouldExecute() { if (this.getDelayTemptCounter() > 0) { this.setDelayTemptCounter(this.getDelayTemptCounter() - 1); return false; } else { this.setTemptingPlayer(this.getTemptedEntity().worldObj .getClosestPlayerToEntity(this.getTemptedEntity(), 10.0D)); if (this.getTemptingPlayer() != EntityTameable.getOwner()) return false; if (this.getTemptingPlayer() == null) { return false; } else { ItemStack itemstack = this.getTemptingPlayer() .getCurrentEquippedItem(); return itemstack == null ? false : itemstack.itemID == this .getBreedingFood(); } } } //public EntityLivingBase func_130012_q() { // return this.worldObj.getPlayerEntityByName(this.getOwnerName()); //} } im still having the problem on this line: if (this.getTemptingPlayer() != EntityTameable.getOwner()) there error is saying to change the modifier of getOwner() to static in EntityTameable. ive tried getting it the owner the same way as in other classes ive seen, such as using worldObj.

using what you said i now have this class: package mods.mochickens.misc; import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase; import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAITempt; import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; class ChickAITempt extends EntityAITempt { @Override public boolean shouldExecute() { if (this.getDelayTemptCounter() > 0) { this.setDelayTemptCounter(this.getDelayTemptCounter() - 1); return false; } else { this.setTemptingPlayer(this.getTemptedEntity().worldObj .getClosestPlayerToEntity(this.getTemptedEntity(), 10.0D)); if (this.getTemptingPlayer() != this.func_130012_q()) return false; if (this.getTemptingPlayer() == null) { return false; } else { ItemStack itemstack = this.getTemptingPlayer() .getCurrentEquippedItem(); return itemstack == null ? false : itemstack.itemID == this .getBreedingFood(); } } } public EntityLivingBase func_130012_q() { return this.worldObj.getPlayerEntityByName(this.getOwnerName()); } } it is showing 2 errors. here: class [u]ChickAITempt[/u] extends EntityAITempt { telling me i have to make a construtor and here: return this.[u]worldObj[/u].getPlayerEntityByName([u]this.getOwnerName()[/u]); worldObj: says to create field or constant this.getOwnerName(): says to create method i imagine that the this.getOwnerName() will be solved when worldObj is solved, but idk how i need to go about fixing that. as for the constructor, should i make it then call the method?

so what i am trying to do now to finish off this mob so i can make the rest of them is make it so the mob will only be tempted by the owner and no one else if they are holding the tempt item, i have thought about it and looked at the code but am coming up blank. im not sure if overriding the method for that is a good idea or if i should remake the EntityAITempt class and modify it to what i need to do.

FINALLY!!!! targetTasks.taskEntries.clear() was all i needed. i replaced this.targetTasks.removeTask(newEntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this, EntityPlayer.class, 0, true)); with the clear() and now it works! thank you so much!

lets see if im understand this right, if i am and i'm in fact doing it right, then its still not working, otherwise, a more in depth explanation might help? so what your saying is, i need to override the readEntityFromNBT and call on another method if the section that sets the mob being tamed to set the tasks the way they need to be set? eg. public final void readEntityFromNBT(NBTTagCompound par1NBTTagCompound) { super.readEntityFromNBT(par1NBTTagCompound); String s = par1NBTTagCompound.getString("Owner"); if (s.length() > 0) { this.setTamed(true); this.setOwner(s); this.setTasks(); } } public void setTasks() { if (this.isTamed()) { this.worldObj.setEntityState(this, (byte) 7); this.tasks.removeTask(new EntityAIAttackOnCollide(this, EntityPlayer.class, 1.0D, false)); this.targetTasks.removeTask(new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget( this, EntityPlayer.class, 0, true)); this.tasks.addTask(3, new EntityAITempt(this, 1.0D, Block.blockDiamond.blockID, false)); this.timeUntilNextEgg = this.rand.nextInt(6000) + 6000; } }

upon further testing, i found out that what i did actually didnt work, it stopped the mob from chasing players, but it set it to that with mobs that werent tamed. im just lost with this. could someone show me some sort of an example so i can see what it should look like?

ok, well i looked through the readEntityNBT method and changed the check in the constructor from !isTamed() to if (this.getOwner() == null). now the last thing id like to get working is that it will only be tempted by its owner. I've looked at everything about tempting that i could find and the only way i could figure out is to remake the EntityAITempt class and modify it, the problem is that I dont know where the ShouldExicute() method is called and used and I can't call on entity.getOwner() to check if the tempting player is its owner or not. are there any suggestions for what i should to to get around this? or where to look?

but even if the owner isnt anywhere i dont want it chasing any other players. thats where the problem is, i dont know what i need to change to stop it from chasing other players.

still hasn't been solved. if there is any information that you need that isn't on here, just let me know and i will add it.

anyone have any thoughts about this?

Everything ive tried to fix it before i made this post didnt work. Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm having a problem with my mob where once its tamed it works fine, but when I shut down the game for a day then come back, it is no longer acting as if its tamed even though it doesn't deal damage. So by default its suppose to be hostile, but when you tame it, its no longer hostile and isn't suppose to attack anyone or anything, this works like it should, but the problem i stated above then come into play where after a day of not running the game, it will target you like its not tamed, but won't do damage as if it is. Also the other thing that goes hand in hand with this issue, is that since this is a chicken, i want it to lay something only when its tamed. But as with the targeting it will stop laying the item. Does anyone have any idea why this is? Heres my code:

and for those that want to see the end product of this mobs entity code, here it is!

Awesome! Thank you so much! No that this mob is done the rest will be easy to make since they all follow the same basic idea! You guys are so awesome with being able to help. Again, thank you so much!

this is the last error i have with my mod right now. for some reason it is not showing the name in game like it should and i didnt change the code for that from the last time it worked. it shows "Entity.mochickens.Blue Chicken.name" instead of the name. im sure i know the problem is because of that space, but where the space is getting added is what i dont get. Here is the code: package mods.mochickens; import java.util.List; import mods.mochickens.client.ClientProxyMoChickens; import mods.mochickens.mobs.EntityBlueChicken; import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.entity.Entity; import net.minecraft.entity.EntityEggInfo; import net.minecraft.entity.EntityList; import net.minecraft.entity.EnumCreatureType; import net.minecraft.item.EnumToolMaterial; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; import net.minecraft.item.crafting.CraftingManager; import net.minecraft.item.crafting.IRecipe; import net.minecraft.world.biome.BiomeGenBase; import net.minecraftforge.common.Configuration; import net.minecraftforge.common.EnumHelper; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod; import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler; import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.Init; import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.Instance; import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.PreInit; import cpw.mods.fml.common.SidedProxy; import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent; import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent; import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.NetworkMod; import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.NetworkRegistry; import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.EntityRegistry; import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry; import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry; @Mod(modid = "mochickens", name = "Mo' Chickens", version = "1.0") @NetworkMod(clientSideRequired = true, serverSideRequired = true) public class MoChickens { @Instance("mochickens") public static MoChickens instance; @SidedProxy(clientSide = "mods.mochickens.client.ClientProxyMoChickens", serverSide = "mods.mochickens.common.CommonProxyMoChickens") public static ClientProxyMoChickens proxy; int blueChickenEggID; static int startEntityId = 300; @EventHandler public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { Configuration config = new Configuration(event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile()); blueChickenEggID = config.get("Item IDs", "Blue Chicken Egg ID", 514).getInt(); config.save(); } @EventHandler public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event){ languageRegisters(); entityRegisters(); EggRegisters(); proxy.registerRenders(); } // Add Spawn Egg public static int getUniqueEntityID() { do { startEntityId++; } while(EntityList.getStringFromID(startEntityId) != null); return startEntityId; } public static void registerEntityEgg(Class <? extends Entity> entity, int primaryColor, int secondaryColor) { int id = getUniqueEntityID(); EntityList.IDtoClassMapping.put(id, entity); EntityList.entityEggs.put(id, new EntityEggInfo(id, primaryColor, secondaryColor)); } public void EggRegisters() { registerEntityEgg(EntityBlueChicken.class, 0x0000FF, 0x000000); } //Add Mobs public void entityRegisters() { EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(EntityBlueChicken.class,"Blue Chicken", 2, this , 40, 3, true); EntityRegistry.addSpawn(EntityBlueChicken.class, 5, 1, 2, EnumCreatureType.creature, BiomeGenBase.beach, BiomeGenBase.extremeHills, BiomeGenBase.extremeHillsEdge, BiomeGenBase.forest, BiomeGenBase.forestHills, BiomeGenBase.jungle, BiomeGenBase.jungleHills, BiomeGenBase.mushroomIsland, BiomeGenBase.mushroomIslandShore, BiomeGenBase.ocean, BiomeGenBase.plains, BiomeGenBase.river, BiomeGenBase.swampland); } private static void languageRegisters() { LanguageRegistry.instance().addStringLocalization("entity.mochickens.BlueChicken.name", "Blue Chicken"); } }

Thanks! i had actually just figured it out myself, but used a lot more lines of code because i copied it from the EntityMob class. I think i'll use the way i found because it shows more of how i can customize what happens to the player, but your help was still much appreciated. now on to making it so you can tame it and it will stop attacking you. think this will be a bit easier than the damage thing was, though once i thought of it i realized that it was an easy thing to get working. anyway thanks for your help! Code i am using for those that are seeing this in the future: public boolean attackEntityAsMob(Entity par1Entity) { EntityPlayer entityplayer = this.worldObj.getClosestVulnerablePlayerToEntity(this, 16.0D); float f = (float) 3.0D; int i = 0; if (entityplayer instanceof EntityLivingBase) { f += EnchantmentHelper.getEnchantmentModifierLiving(this, (EntityLivingBase)entityplayer); i += EnchantmentHelper.getKnockbackModifier(this, (EntityLivingBase)entityplayer); } boolean flag = par1Entity.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeMobDamage(this), f); if (flag) { if (i > 0) { entityplayer.addVelocity((double)(-MathHelper.sin(this.rotationYaw * (float)Math.PI / 180.0F) * (float)i * 0.5F), 0.1D, (double)(MathHelper.cos(this.rotationYaw * (float)Math.PI / 180.0F) * (float)i * 0.5F)); this.motionX *= 0.6D; this.motionZ *= 0.6D; } int j = EnchantmentHelper.getFireAspectModifier(this); if (j > 0) { entityplayer.setFire(j * 4); } if (entityplayer instanceof EntityLivingBase) { EnchantmentThorns.func_92096_a(this, (EntityLivingBase)entityplayer, this.rand); } } return flag; } (some of this isnt needed but im keeping it for refernce)

I've looked at the wolf class because i do want it to be possible to tame the mob, so i set the extending class to EntityTameable. which still didnt fix the problem. the error sounds like the collision is returning null. at this point im wondering if there is a way to manually code this in. if i make it extend EntityCreature or EntityMob its breaks the mating part of it as well as means i cant make it tameable. code and error did not change except for trying to extend the different entities and ended on EntityTamable. @Draco EntityWolf is in the passive package, not the hostile package.

added that method and the problem persists. i really have no idea what exactly i need to do to get it to work.
