Depending on the latest javadocs there should be a function public void setSkeletonType(int p_82201_1_) in net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntitySkeleton. However when I try to call it it tells me cannot find symbol. Eclipse does not find it either. All necessary libs are included and the object is called correctly. Other functions work flawless.

 

Am I missing something or did someone forget to implement it?

Hm, then tell me please what's wrong with this?

 

import net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntitySkeleton;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.EntityJoinWorldEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;

public class WitherSkeleton
{
  @SubscribeEvent
  public void onMobSpawn(EntityJoinWorldEvent event)
  {
	  if (event.entity instanceof EntitySkeleton)
	  {
		  event.entity.setCurrentItemOrArmor(0, null); // works
		  event.entity.setCurrentItemOrArmor(0, new ItemStack(Items.stone_sword)); // works
		  event.entity.setSkeletonType(1); // does not work!
	  }
  }
}

 

Forge 1.7.10-10.13.0.1208

Just to understand the problem. Shouldn't setCurrentItemOrArmor() fail as well? 

 

BTW: It works like this

 

((EntitySkeleton)event.entity).setSkeletonType(1);

Nevermind, I understand it. Thank you!
