How often does the entire entity class get called?

[DanilaFE]

So pretend I want an entity to set another custom entity’s variable. I want there to be an entity called the necromancer, and he will make zombies follow him. I want each zombie to set a variable in the necromancer, so that I can find out how many zombies are connected. If I make a global variable zombieNumber, will it keep getting set to 0?

This is a basic java question.

 

The problem with being able to answer it is that I don't know what scope you mean by global.  Under the strict definition of global scope, the answer would be "yes" because every time a new necromancer spawned it would set your single, global scope, variable to 0.

 

Which is not what you want.
