Hello everyone. I've been asking and trying to find an answer, but with no avail. I'm still trying to find an answer, but really, no one cares about water mobs and my mod is all about water mobs. So can anyone please show me how to make a water mob, like a tutorial or something, becuase mine doesn't work. I'm actually pretty experienced with java, but I have no idea how to make a water mob. And yes I have checked the entitysquid class and I have copied and pasted code and switched it around, but it still doesn't work. Really i'm sick of trying to find an answer, becuase no one cares about water mobs or bothers to make a tutorial on it. So can anyone help me? Could anyone point me in a direction to go in to learn how water mobs work or something? Anything is appretiated! 

Hi

 

I suggest you derive your new Entity from the Squid class, make sure you can spawn it and it acts like a Squid.  Then override one method at a time to implement the new behaviour you want (if any).

 

What specifically are you trying to do that isn't working?

Well for some reason my mob just sits there and when i punch him or move him, he doesn't stop moving. Could you help me with that?

 

EntityFishMob class:

Like I said before, any help is appretiated 

Well it is very simple actually. If you punch or touch him you need to override the correct function, neither of which I see in your provided code.

Furthermore, if you override a squid it is quite normal it won't do anything as a squid doesn't interact with the player, with the exception of dying of course.

Basically, look at the base class of EntityWaterMob base class.

Have a look at the following functions:

    protected void attackEntity(Entity par1Entity, float par2) 
    {

    }

    protected Entity findPlayerToAttack()
    {
        return null;
    }

    public Entity getEntityToAttack()
    {
        return this.entityToAttack;
    }

    public void setTarget(Entity par1Entity)
    {
        this.entityToAttack = par1Entity;
    }

 

And if you need to right click the entity have a look at the base class EntityLiving(below EntityWaterMob):

 

  protected boolean interact(EntityPlayer par1EntityPlayer)
    {
        return false;
    }

 

So really, all you have to do is go into the classes your mob inherits and look which functions you need, override them and add what you need.

Everyone needs to do that.
