[SOLVED, DAMMIT] Mob attack delay

[DoorCloser]

How can i make delays between the attack of Mob. I tried to look at some mobs, like: IronGolem, Creeper. I tried out their part of codes and that didnt work. So after the first attack, mob have to wait like 2 secs before next attack. How can i do so? Here is the code.

Really need this guys, help!

I imagine your going to have to set up a Tick Handler to delay it 40 ticks. as for how, I am not sure because I have not done that before.

Well, ok. Do you have any ideas which class could contain Tick Handler, so i can figure out what is what?

[coolAlias]

If you are coding your own mob, you can use attackTime as a built-in timer. It decrements automatically each update tick (from EntityLivingBase), so when the mob attacks, set this.attackTime = 40; and check if (attackTime == 0) before you allow the mob to attack.

I tried to put it all like that

For an example, IronGolem have the same.

Now that he says it, i realize that coolalias is right, your issue is that you are not checking to see if attack time is >= 0 before it tries to attack, so it doesnt get stopped by the timer

Well, i finally understand. Here is the code.

protected void attackEntity(Entity par1Entity, float par2)
    {
            if (par2 > 2.0F && par2 < 6.0F && this.rand.nextInt(10) == 0)
            {   
                if (this.onGround)
                {
                	this.attackTimer++;
                	if(this.attackTimer > 3)
                	{
                    double d0 = par1Entity.posX - this.posX;
                    double d1 = par1Entity.posZ - this.posZ;
                    float f2 = MathHelper.sqrt_double(d0 * d0 + d1 * d1);
                    this.motionX = d0 / (double)f2 * 1.2D * 0.800000011920929D + this.motionX * 0.20000000298023224D;
                    this.motionZ = d1 / (double)f2 * 1.2D * 0.800000011920929D + this.motionZ * 0.20000000298023224D;
                    this.motionY = 0.5600000059604645D;
                    this.attackTimer = 0;
                    this.playSound("headcrab.hc_attack", 1.0F, 1.0F);
                	}
                }
            }
            else
            {
                super.attackEntity(par1Entity, par2);
            }          
        }

 

So, finally with if(attackTimer > 10) i can create the delay between attacks. THANKS ALOT MATES! THAT WAS VERY USEFUL!
