[1.6.4]Making A Hostile Mob Non-Hostile

[starwarsmace]

Hello. I'm making a mod and wanted to make an item that when you right click it,zombies wont attack you. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[starwarsmace]

Anyone? I really need this is in my mod.

[shadowmage4513]

Depending upon the mob (if it is vanilla or not), you may be able to simply remove the AI tasks from its AI, or insert/overwrite with your own tasks.  This could be done with the EntityJoinWorld event.

 

Another method might be to handle the LivingSetAttackTargetEvent, cancelling the target/overwriting the target for that entity.  (Haven't played with this one myself...so..it _might_ be viable)

 

A bit of a hackier method would be to use a tick-handler and examine entities near players, and remove/reset their AI target.

 

There may well be other methods as well, as this is not something that I've looked into very much.

 

Edit:  these are methods that should work fine with vanilla entities.  Handling mod entities will be hit-and miss depending upon whether they call the appropriate events and/or use the vanilla AI system.

 

 

[coolboy4531]

Add a task in your Entity whenever your method is called which is right-click.

 

You could look at EntityPigZombie and reverse the effects, as browsing through code is a great way to learn

Can you please give me code how to use those methods to stop vanilla zombies from attacking the player. I would greatly appreciate that.

[citizenslave]

zombie.targetTasks.removeTask(zombie.targetTasks.taskEntries.get(1));

 

Let me know if it works, I didn't test it.  You'll have an issue if it is supposed to be a "toggle" as the EntityZombie constructor code puts it into the array second, and if you add it back with zombie.targetTasks.addTask(2, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(zombie, EntityPlayer.class, 0, true)); it will be third.  Adapt accordingly.

[starwarsmace]

Giving me errors in Eclipse.

EntityZombie.targetTasks.removeTask(EntityZombie.targetTasks.taskEntries.get(1));

Errors:

Multiple markers at this line

- Cannot make a static reference to the non-static field

EntityZombie.targetTasks

- Cannot make a static reference to the non-static field

EntityZombie.targetTasks

[citizenslave]

Yeah, I missed that they weren't static...makes it a lot harder for me to test them now too...you'll have to get your item's right click target entity, check if it's a zombie, then run the code from my edit on the casted entity.

 

public boolean itemInteractionForEntity(ItemStack itemStack,EntityPlayer player,EntityLivingBase target) {
	if (target.worldObj.isRemote) return false;

	if (target instanceof EntityZombie && 
			((EntityZombie) target).targetTasks.taskEntries.get(1) instanceof EntityAINearestAttackableTarget)
	{
		((EntityZombie) target).targetTasks.removeTask((EntityAINearestAttackableTarget)((EntityZombie) target).targetTasks.taskEntries.get(1));
	}

	return false;
}

 

[citizenslave]

Third time's the charm.  I actually tested it this time.

 

 

@Override
public boolean itemInteractionForEntity(ItemStack itemStack,EntityPlayer player,EntityLivingBase target) {
	player.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageComponent.createFromText("Activated."));

	// Run locally only
	if (target.worldObj.isRemote) return false;

	player.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageComponent.createFromText("Testing for EntityZombie."));
	if (target instanceof EntityZombie)
	{
		player.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageComponent.createFromText("EntityZombie, testing task."));
		EntityZombie zombie = (EntityZombie) target;
		EntityAITaskEntry task = (EntityAITaskEntry) zombie.targetTasks.taskEntries.get(1);
		if (task.action instanceof EntityAINearestAttackableTarget)
		{
			player.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageComponent.createFromText("Task."));
			player.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageComponent.createFromText("Removing."));
			zombie.targetTasks.removeTask(task.action);

			player.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageComponent.createFromText("Tamed."));
		}
	}

	return false;
}

 

[citizenslave]

That will still allow a "tamed" zombie to attack villagers after the first right-click.  After the second right-click, they won't attack villagers either.  Cast the task.action and check the targetClass property against EntityPlayer.class to change this.  Sorry for the screwups, still a newb to this and this was actually my first dive into the AI.

[starwarsmace]

It worked until this error came.

Please anyone?

[TheGreyGhost]

Hi

 

I've sent you a private message, have a look and send me back if it doesn't answer your question

 

-TGG

[starwarsmace]

This was my code orignally

 

public class RottenFleshWandZombieTamer extends Item{

public RottenFleshWandZombieTamer(int par1) {
	super(par1);
}
@Override
public boolean itemInteractionForEntity(ItemStack itemStack,EntityPlayer player,EntityLivingBase target) {
	player.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageComponent.createFromText("Activated."));

	// Run locally only
	if (target.worldObj.isRemote) return false;

	if (target instanceof EntityZombie)
	{
		player.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageComponent.createFromText("EntityZombie, testing task."));
		EntityZombie zombie = (EntityZombie) target;
		EntityAITaskEntry task = (EntityAITaskEntry) zombie.targetTasks.taskEntries.get(1);
	        if (task.action instanceof EntityAINearestAttackableTarget)
			{
				zombie.targetTasks.removeTask(task.action);

			}
		}

	}else{
		return false;
	}

	return false;
}
}

 

I changed it to this:

 

public class RottenFleshWandZombieTamer extends Item{

public RottenFleshWandZombieTamer(int par1) {
	super(par1);
}
@Override
public boolean itemInteractionForEntity(ItemStack itemStack,EntityPlayer player,EntityLivingBase target) {
	player.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageComponent.createFromText("Activated."));

	// Run locally only
	if (target.worldObj.isRemote) return false;

	if (target instanceof EntityZombie)
	{
		player.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageComponent.createFromText("EntityZombie, testing task."));
		EntityZombie zombie = (EntityZombie) target;
		if (zombie.targetTasks.taskEntries.size()!=0){
			EntityAITaskEntry task = (EntityAITaskEntry) zombie.targetTasks.taskEntries.get(1);
			if (task.action instanceof EntityAINearestAttackableTarget)
			{
				zombie.targetTasks.removeTask(task.action);

			}
		}

	}else{
		return false;
	}

	return false;
}
}

 

It still doesn't work and gives me the same error.

 

Please Help!!!

[citizenslave]

It's happening on the third click after the tasks targeting players and villagers have both been removed.  At that point, you only have one item left in the targetTasks list, and it's at index 0.  If you change your conditional to:

 

if (zombie.targetTasks.taskEntries.size() > 1){

 

Then it won't try to remove the task at index 1 when it doesn't exist.
