[SOLVED] 1.16.5 Completely stop Entity from moving

[DietmarKracht]

Is there a way to completely stop an entity from moving (including head, limbs...) for a certain amount of time? I have an effect that should freeze the entities. If i set their motion to 0 they can still move their legs or head. That effect is my effect and it should be able to be applied to all enemies.

I believe you can use Entity#canUpdate for that.

I don't think so, cuz i would need to modify vanilla entities for that.

there is an event (EntityEvent.CanUpdate)

So as far as i can see this event is not even used by forge. Also refering to the documentation it would not fit my need.

Well yeah. Ticking is handled internally by the entities that's called from some function. The method was added by forge so the entity can be updated to not tick hence it can't do anything. So, yes, the method I provided should work as intended.

So i used a global list storing the entities affected by the freeze effect and manually ticked their effect in ServerTickEvent
