I'm currently trying to add a 2 second delay after a pig's death, but it just ends up freezing the pig for 2 seconds and then doing everything else. Is there a way to wait 2 seconds without freezing the game's thread?

 

EventEntity

 

 

package assets.darkorigins.event;

 

import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.living.LivingDeathEvent;

 

public class EventEntity

{

 

public static void deathEnderDragon(LivingDeathEvent event) //This method is called whenever a pig is killed

{

 

if(!event.entityLiving.worldObj.isRemote)

{

 

Thread thread = new Thread();

 

System.out.println("WAITING...");

 

try

{

 

thread.sleep(2000);

 

}catch(InterruptedException e){}

 

System.out.println("HI!");

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

Try this.wait()

I had to mess around with a bunch of stuff, but whenever I kill a pig, it prints nothing.

 

EventEnderDragon

 

 

package assets.darkorigins.event;

 

import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.living.LivingDeathEvent;

 

public class EventEnderDragon extends EventBase

{

 

public EventEnderDragon(LivingDeathEvent event)

{

 

super(event);

 

}

 

protected void init(LivingDeathEvent event) throws Exception

{

 

super.init();

 

if(!event.entityLiving.worldObj.isRemote)

{

 

System.out.println("WAITING...");

 

this.wait(2);

 

System.out.println("HI!");

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

EventBase

 

 

package assets.darkorigins.event;

 

import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.living.LivingDeathEvent;

 

public class EventBase

{

 

public EventBase(LivingDeathEvent event)

{

 

super();

 

}

 

protected void init() throws Exception

{

 

 

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

DarkOriginsEvent

 

 

package assets.darkorigins;

 

import net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntityPig;

import net.minecraftforge.event.ForgeSubscribe;

import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.living.LivingDeathEvent;

import assets.darkorigins.event.EventEnderDragon;

 

public class DarkOriginsEvent

{

 

@ForgeSubscribe

public void entityDeath(LivingDeathEvent event)

{

 

if(event.entityLiving instanceof EntityPig){new EventEnderDragon(event);}

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

 

 

Do you have any other suggestions to try to add a delay?

Store a reference to the entity somewhere, access it via a tick handler, count down then do stuff?

Don't really understand, but would I make a TickHandler, add a method to count the ticks, and then make a call to the TickHandler from the Event?
