Mob throwing Potions[SOLVED]

[DoorCloser]

Hello everyone. I've got a little problem and some questions.

 

1.I want my mob to throw poison potions at me and melee attack me when i get close. I've looked at witch's code and i've made my mob throw potions at me. So that works, but when i use attackOnColide task on my mob, it only melee attacks me, not throwing potions. How to do so:

Throw potions at me when im far from mob, or mob cant get me( im on the roof or something in this sort ), and melee attack me when i get close to it.

 

Help me please, i really need this.

You should take a look at the Witch, as it throws potions.

 

Check out my question again. I've made my mob throwing potions, but when i set task attackOnColide to him, it only perform melee attacks on me and not throwing potions. Without that task, my mob throws potions well. I want him to perform both attacks.

Then remove the task when there is no player around.

What? How i suppose to do that? Please give the code if you know something about it.

So did you understand my question and can you help me please?

You need 2 AI tasks. One which throws the potions and one which performs the melee attack. The methods in the EntityAI class are pretty self explanatory to be honest.

 

this.tasks.addTask(0, new EntityAISwimming(this));
	this.tasks.addTask(1, new EntityAIWander(this, 0.2F));
	this.tasks.addTask(1, new EntityAIAttackOnCollide(this,
			EntityPlayer.class, this.moveSpeed, false));
	this.tasks.addTask(3, new EntityAIWatchClosest(this,
			EntityPlayer.class, 6.0F));
	this.tasks.addTask(4, new EntityAILookIdle(this));
	this.tasks.addTask(5, new EntityAIArrowAttack(this, this.moveSpeed, 60, 10.0F));

	this.targetTasks.addTask(0, new EntityAIHurtByTarget(this, true));
	this.targetTasks.addTask(1, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this,
			EntityPlayer.class, 25.0F, 0, true));

 

Those are my Entity tasks. I think ArrowAttack and AttackOnCollide perform both attacks. But ArrowAttack is not working with AttackOnCollide. So when i use AttackOnCollide, my Entity only perform melee attacks. So ArrowAttack is just confusing and stop working. Understand? But when i remove AttackOnCollide task, ArrowAttack works fine. But my mob cant perform melee attacks. Those tasks are not working with eachother. So i dont know what to do lol.

You have to make your own task.

 

What?? Um and how i suppose to do that actually? This is so hard, hundreds of code.

Learn how to program. Sorry, modding without programming is impossible.

 

I know the basics of java. But i without copying stuff and reading from somewhere, thats impossible to draw a code by myself. All that symbols have to be correctly put.

See the line

task.addTask

?

Then this exist too

task.removeTask

 

Now, how to find a player ?

EntityPlayer closePlayer = this.worldObj.getClosestPlayerToEntity(this, putSomeDistanceHere);
if(closePlayer==null){
//forever alone
}else{
//kill the bastard
}

Ok, so i've made how you type and that works! So my mob shoots potion in me when he cant get me with himself. Thank you so much.

I think that exactly what you mean? Well it works. Sometimes he mess up a little though

EntityPlayer closePlayer = this.worldObj.getClosestPlayerToEntity(this, 4);
	if(closePlayer==null){
		EntityAIArrowAttack arrowattack = null;
		this.tasks.removeTask(arrowattack);
		this.tasks.addTask(3, new EntityAIAttackOnCollide(this,
				EntityPlayer.class, this.moveSpeed, false));

	}else
	{
		EntityAIAttackOnCollide attackoncollide = null;
		this.tasks.removeTask(attackoncollide);
	}
}

EntityAIAttackOnCollide attackoncollide = null;
		this.tasks.removeTask(attackoncollide);

This is really unlikely to work. You need to cache the task you want to change.

 

public EntityAIBase cache;

public void onUpdate{
  ...
EntityPlayer closePlayer = this.worldObj.getClosestPlayerToEntity(this, 4);
	if(closePlayer==null){
                       if(this.cache!=null){
		   this.tasks.removeTask(cache);
                           this.cache = null;
                      }
	}else if(this.cache ==null)
	{
	      this.cache = new EntityAIAttackOnCollide(this,
				EntityPlayer.class, this.moveSpeed, false);
              this.tasks.addTask(3, cache);
	}
}
