[1.7.2] Mob AI

[The_SlayerMC]

Hey,

I know this is really REALLY simple and i'm ashamed for asking this but

 

I had the mob working fine with the attacking system, same as a zombie pigman but without the group attacking you

 

But I felt the code was really repetative so moved it into another Entity class so all mobs that work like that can extend it so i wont have the same code over and over again

 

So I've extended the class with the exact code from the mob class, but it's not attacking anything after it gets attacked

 

EntityPeacefullUntillAttacked

 

 

public abstract class EntityPeacefullUntillAttacked extends EntityDivineRPGMob {

private int angerLevel = 0;

public EntityPeacefullUntillAttacked(World w) {
	super(w);
}

@Override
public void writeEntityToNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt) {
	super.writeEntityToNBT(nbt);
	nbt.setShort("Anger", (short)this.angerLevel);
}

@Override
public void readEntityFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt) {
	super.readEntityFromNBT(nbt);
	this.angerLevel = nbt.getShort("Anger");
}

@Override
public Entity findPlayerToAttack() {
	return this.angerLevel == 0 ? null : super.findPlayerToAttack();
}

@Override
public boolean attackEntityFrom(DamageSource src, float dmg) {
        if(this.isEntityInvulnerable()) {
            return false;
        } else {
            Entity entity = src.getEntity();
            if(entity instanceof EntityPlayer)
                this.becomeAngryAt(entity);
            return super.attackEntityFrom(src, dmg);
        }
    }

public boolean becomeAngryAt(Entity entity) {
	this.entityToAttack = entity;
	this.angerLevel = 1;
	return true;
}
}

 

 

 

 

And EntityDivineRPGMob if you wanted to see that class aswell

 

 

public EntityDivineRPGMob(World par1World) {
	super(par1World);
	LangRegistry.addMob(this);
        addBasicAI();
}

public void setMaxHP(double d){getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.maxHealth).setBaseValue(100);}

public void setMoveSpeed(double d){getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.movementSpeed).setBaseValue(0.7);}

public void setAttackDamage(double d){getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.attackDamage).setBaseValue(13);}

public void setFollowRange(double d){getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.followRange).setBaseValue(100);}

public void setKnockbackResistance(double d){getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.knockbackResistance).setBaseValue(100);}

public double getHP(){return getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.maxHealth).getAttributeValue();}

public double getMoveSpeed(){return getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.movementSpeed).getAttributeValue();}

public double getAttackDamage(){return getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.attackDamage).getAttributeValue();}

public double getFollowRange(){return getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.followRange).getAttributeValue();}

public double getKnockbackResistance(){return getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.knockbackResistance).getAttributeValue();}

public abstract String mobName();

protected void addAttackingAI(){
        this.tasks.addTask(5, new EntityAIAttackOnCollide(this, EntityPlayer.class, getMoveSpeed(), false));
	this.targetTasks.addTask(6, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this, EntityPlayer.class, 0, true));

}

protected void addBasicAI(){
	this.tasks.addTask(0, new EntityAISwimming(this));
        this.tasks.addTask(1, new EntityAIWander(this, getMoveSpeed()));
        this.tasks.addTask(2, new EntityAIWatchClosest(this, EntityPlayer.class, 8.0F));
        this.tasks.addTask(3, new EntityAILookIdle(this));
}

@Override
protected boolean isAIEnabled() {
	return true;
}

public void onDeath(DamageSource d) {
	super.onDeath(d);
	if(!worldObj.isRemote && ConfigurationHelper.canShowDeathChat){
		if(d.getSourceOfDamage() != null && d.getSourceOfDamage() instanceof EntityPlayer){
			EntityPlayer p = (EntityPlayer)d.getSourceOfDamage();
			Util.sendMessageToAll(p.getDisplayName() + " has slain a " + mobName() + ".");

			if(d.getEntity() instanceof EntityTwins){
				Util.sendMessageToAll(p.getDisplayName() + " has slain the " + mobName() + ".");
			}
		}
	}
}
}

 

 

 

As i stated before, this is really simple and probably me being blind to see the problem, but if anyone can help, that would be great

Hi

 

I'd suggest you trying adding breakpoints or System.out.println to your code (eg attackEntityFrom, findPlayerToAttack, etc) so that you can tell which parts are being called, and which ones aren't.  That will narrow it down a lot.

They're all getting called when i attack the mob but nothing is happening still

Hi

 

I would suggest you drill further into here

@Override

public Entity findPlayerToAttack() {

return this.angerLevel == 0 ? null : super.findPlayerToAttack();

}

 

perhaps you angerLevel is wrong in this method, or alternatively super.findPlayerToAttack() is not what you think (are you extending EntityMob?)

 

Do you know how to use breakpoints?

If not, and you're using Eclipse, try this link...
