Rideable Mobs Help [1.6.2]

[MrNegaBlox]

I have made a mob and I can mount it, but I can't make it be controlled by the player. I have looked for tutorials and looked at the horse, minecart and pig classes, yet found nothing. Can you please tell me how?

[saxon564]

Well to adequitly be able to help, you would need to share your source. My guess is that you are not extending EntityRideable. I have not done anything with being able to ride mobs myself but im sure that you should be extending it.

[MrNegaBlox]

...Already tried. It don't exist therefore I can't extend it. That is why i went here cause I found NOTHING ON CONTROLLING THE MOBS YOU ARE RIDING

Thank you so much! It moves when I tell it, just one problem. When I move, I let go of the key and the mob teleports back to its origin. Here is my code:

*hours later*

I actually found how a Pig gets controlled by the player.

You don't look in EntityPig, you look at ItemCarrotOnAStick

 

And. This... is what I found.

    public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer)
    {
        if (par3EntityPlayer.isRiding() && par3EntityPlayer.ridingEntity instanceof EntityPig)
        {
            EntityPig var4 = (EntityPig)par3EntityPlayer.ridingEntity;

            if (var4.getAIControlledByPlayer().isControlledByPlayer() && par1ItemStack.getMaxDamage() - par1ItemStack.getItemDamage() >= 7)
            {
                var4.getAIControlledByPlayer().boostSpeed();
                par1ItemStack.damageItem(7, par3EntityPlayer);

                if (par1ItemStack.stackSize == 0)
                {
                    ItemStack var5 = new ItemStack(Item.fishingRod);
                    var5.setTagCompound(par1ItemStack.stackTagCompound);
                    return var5;
                }
            }
        }

        return par1ItemStack;
    }

[MrNegaBlox]

Umm... That just gives a speed boost to the pig. That doesn't control it, it just checks if it is controlling it

[coolboy4531]

Not what I was pointing out, I was pointing where var4.getAIControlledByPlayer() its an AI.

[opssemnik]

goes back to origin doing for not correctly syinc client-server position of the entity...

[MrNegaBlox]

Sooo What do I do?

[MrNegaBlox]

What do I do to sync the client and server? I still need help

[MrNegaBlox]

Please Help

 

[coolboy4531]

Lovely, lovely packets :3

[MrNegaBlox]

PLEASE SPECIFY WHAT TO DO! I WANT TO FINISH MY MOD!

[MrNegaBlox]

I am still getting teleported, can you tell me whats wrong?

[Jdb100]

when you are moving the pig on your screen you never tell the server that its position is different so when you stop the server tries to sync with client and teleports you back so you need to send a packet from the client to the server telling the server you are in a new position.

[MrNegaBlox]

Umm, please specify how?  I have never used packet handleing

[MrNegaBlox]

Can someone tell me how to packet handle, I haven't used it and the tutorials I am using don't have anything for updating mob location

[MrNegaBlox]

How to I send a packet to the server about a mobs position?

[coolboy4531]

And this... is why you need to know basic Java.

 

To send packets:

You got to learn what to send, you don't just look at a tutorial and copy it.

 

Let me see what I can find to help you out.

[MrNegaBlox]

I try my best to comprehend what I am reading and copying. So can you please tell me what packet to send?
