Hey guys,

 

I'm currently working on (relatively simple) NPCs for my mod.

I figured the best way for these to be really usable is to have a "spawn pad" which creates and destroys them as required.

 

Players will have to use in-game money (items) in order to "keep" a mob spawned.

 

 

What I want to know right now, is two things;

1. How can I spawn a mob with certain NBT values set? (I can do all the NBT stuff itself, just need to know how to set it on spawn from a block)

2. How would I use NBT to make a mob invincible? (I can see this being very useful on servers for NPCs at spawn who shouldn't be killed :P)

Just spawn them via your TE and pass any variables to the Entities constructor. Create these variables in the Entity and set them in the constructor by the given ones. And save them as a tag

YourEntity entity = new YourEntity(posX, posY, posZ, various variables); // Various variables you want to have in the Entity and the coordinates of course...
this.worldObj.spawnEntityInWorld(entity); //That spawns the Entity

 

EDIT: just pass a boolean to make them invincible or not... They should automatically be invincible unless you are using the health system.

PM's regarding modding questions should belong in the Modder Support sub-forum and won't be answered.

Or you could create the entity and inject an altered NBT tag in the Entity. Something like:

CustomEntity entity = new CustomEntity(worldObj);
NBTTagCompound tag = new NBTTagCompound();
entity.writeEntityToNBT(tag);//create the base tag
tag.setShort("Health", (short)10);//alter the tag, for instance here the health is changed. Bit devious but it's an example.
entity.readEntityFromNBT(tag);//inject the entity with the altered tag.
worldObj.spawnEntityInWorld(entity);

Alright, I think I'm still missing something.

 

Right now, I'm setting the data hardcoded in my block class (where the mob spawn code is) just to try and pass it to my entity. Later, I'll be reading it from my Tile Entity but I want to get this bit working first.

 

I've added a couple of println debug checks. The data seems to be there when it initially spawns but is instantly wiped. Any ideas? Below are my block and my entity classes:

	if (!world.isRemote) {
    	if (tile != null) {
			EntityBanker banker = new EntityBanker(world);
			NBTTagCompound nbt = new NBTTagCompound();
			banker.writeEntityToNBT(nbt);
			//For now, just hard-coding some test values to get the NBT block -> mob working.
			nbt.setBoolean("wander", false);// tile.wander);
			nbt.setString("playerName", "Blah" );//tile.playerName);
			nbt.setInteger("despawnTime", 12345);//tile.despawnTime);
			nbt.setInteger("heldID", 6);//tile.heldID);

			nbt.setInteger("chestID", ;//tile.chestID);

			nbt.setBoolean("entityLocked", true);//tile.entityLocked);
			nbt.setBoolean("entityInvincible", true);//tile.invincible);
			banker.readEntityFromNBT(nbt);
			//Ignore this bit - it doesn't need to be passed to the mob.
			banker.posX = x;
			banker.posY = y;
			banker.posZ = z;
			System.out.println("The offset values are: X:" + tile.offsetX + " Y:" + tile.offsetY + " Z:" + tile.offsetZ);
			banker.setLocationAndAngles((double)x + tile.offsetX, (double)y + tile.offsetY, (double)z + tile.offsetZ, 0.0F, 0.0F);
			banker.onSpawnWithEgg(null);
			world.spawnEntityInWorld(banker);

Notice anything I've done incredibly wrong there? :P

Hi

 

Is there any particular reason that your writeEntityToNBT doesn't add most of your member variables to the NBT (compared with readEntityFromNBT)?

 

Perhaps part of the problem is that you are creating your entity on the server side, but the client side copy is not getting all your extra information because it's not being transmitted in the spawn packet.

 

That's where GotoLink's suggestion comes in, because Forge transmits extra information about your entities from server to client if you use IEntityAdditionalSpawnData.

 

public class EntityBanker extends EntityAnimal implements IEntityAdditionalSpawnData

 

Never used it myself.

 

Entity already has a flag called Entity.invulnerable which might be what you are looking for.

I don't think client/server sync is the issue here. The NBT is printing to console as default java values (0 ints, empty strings etc) on both the client and server. I'll research the AdditionalSpawnData thing though and see what it turns up

    • Version 1.19 - Forge 41.0.63 I want to create a wolf entity that I can ride, so far it seems to be working, but the problem is that when I get on the wolf, I can’t control it. I then discovered that the issue is that the server doesn’t detect that I’m riding the wolf, so I’m struggling with synchronization. However, it seems to not be working properly. As I understand it, the server receives the packet but doesn’t register it correctly. I’m a bit new to Java, and I’ll try to provide all the relevant code and prints *The comments and prints are translated by chatgpt since they were originally in Spanish* Thank you very much in advance No player is mounted, or the passenger is not a player.
