I made a custom mob that I want to make attack hostile mobs just like an IronGolem. I've been able to make this work, problem is that it also targets any other Custom Mob of the same type in the area. How can I make it see fellow Custom Mobs not as enemies?

~CODE~

Yes, I understand coding is important when making a mod... I know that it has to do with the Imob Selector, but I can't seem to find the base code where it decides what a golem attacks and what it doesn't.

no we need to see your code to help you

Simply add a target task to attack the nearest EntityMob. You'll have to override the canAttackClass method in your Entity if you want it to attack creepers and ghasts.

this.targetTasks.addTask(4, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this, EntityMob.class, 0, true));

Ooops, sorry. Here is the code:

 

The Tasks

this.targetTasks.addTask(2, new EntityAIHurtByTarget(this, false));
        this.targetTasks.addTask(3, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this, EntityLiving.class, 16.0F, 0, false, true, IMob.mobSelector));
    

 

The Constructors

protected void collideWithEntity(Entity par1Entity)
    {
        if (par1Entity instanceof IMob && !(par1Entity instanceof EntityEnt) && this.getRNG().nextInt(20) == 0)
        {
            this.setAttackTarget((EntityLiving)par1Entity);
        }

        super.collideWithEntity(par1Entity);
    }

public boolean canAttackClass(Class par1Class)
    {
        return this.isPlayerCreated() && EntityPlayer.class.isAssignableFrom(par1Class) ? false : super.canAttackClass(par1Class);
    }

public boolean attackEntityAsMob(Entity par1Entity)
    {
        this.attackTimer = 10;
        this.worldObj.setEntityState(this, (byte)4);
        boolean flag = par1Entity.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeMobDamage(this), 7 + this.rand.nextInt(15));

        if (flag)
        {
            par1Entity.motionY += 0.4000000059604645D;
        }

        this.playSound("mob.irongolem.throw", 1.0F, 1.0F);
        return flag;
    }

 

this.targetTasks.addTask(3, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this, EntityLiving.class, 16.0F, 0, false, true, IMob.mobSelector));

 

So uh.

 

Let me guess.

 

Your mob extends EntityLiving doesn't it?

 

And your mob attacks ALL ENTITYLIVING INSTANCES.

 

2 + 2 = ?

 

(Side note: the player does not extend EntityLiving)

No it extends EntityMob. And it works as it should with all other mobs, except for another custom mob. So my only issue is, how can I register my custom mob as one of the mobs that is not seen as an enemy when using Imob Selector. And where is the base code for that located anyway?

And what does EntityMob extend?

.....EntityLiving Dangit. Haha. Alright so is there a better way? I feel a bit misled, because I assumed the Iron Golem code would work just fine, and for the most part it does, because it doesn't attack passive mobs, it doesn't attack the player unless attacked, it attacks zombies and such, and it even doesn't attack Iron Golems, but it still attacks the other custom mobs. I'm pretty sure my only problem lies with the Imob Selector, and needing to have my mob be identified as a passive mob by other mobs.

 

Worst case scenario, if I can't get this figured out, my plan B was to have the custom mob just attack whatever attacked it first. I tried using the IsAngry code for it, but couldn't get it to work. I feel like I am missing some key bits of code buried in other areas.

Perhaps you didn't understand my earlier post. By overriding canAttackClass, you can check if the target is an instance of your entity and return false. You don't even need the IMob.mobSelector parameter, just use EntityMob.class as the target.

Sorry I didn't realize what you were telling me before. Can you give me an example of how that code looks in the canAttackClass method?

This is directly from EntityLiving. Override it in your class and add or substitute your class into the return equation.

public boolean canAttackClass(Class par1Class)
{
  return EntityCreeper.class != par1Class && EntityGhast.class != par1Class;
}

Wonderful! Thank you coolAlias! It works like a charm. Thanks for your patience as well
