Changing the mob hitbox

[RafaMv]

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble to update my mob hit box. I created a custom growth system (which is working fine),  so I can't use the vanilla class.

 

I tried using the setSize() method, but it doesn't seem to work:

 

        public void setCreatureSize(float xzSize, float ySize) {

System.out.println("xzSize: " + xzSize + " ySize: " + ySize);

super.setSize(xzSize, ySize);

}

 

How can I change/update the hitbox of a mob?

Why do you think it doesn't work?  the setSize() method (assuming your class is an extension of something in the Entity class hierarchy is the right method -- you can check the source and it changes the boundingBox.

 

By the way, if you press F3+B while playing the game, it will make all the entity hitboxes visible.  I recommend this whenever people are making custom models or otherwise mucking around with hitboxes so you can see what is really going on.

I don't know why, but the boundingBox doesn't change... Do I need something like a datawatcher for this?

Did you make sure that your call to setSize runs after the vanilla call to set size? IIRC, setSize has some side effects, so you might just want to override it anyway.

I found my mistake! I was using the client side of the onUpdate() method to run the super.setSize(). I should have called it on the server side of the living update, just like vanilla!
