Hi, i am trying to spawn an entity but it doesnt work as properly.

 

Whenever the entity spawns it appears on my screen for a brief second and dissapears after.

I think it has something to do with the fact that the postion of the entity is incorrect or  something and that is teleported to the origin of the world.

 

This is my current code:

public static void summonEntity(Class<? extends Entity> clazz, World world, double x, double y, double z, SummoningCircleLogic logic, AdditionalSummonInfo info){
	Entity entity = getEntityByClass(clazz, world);
	entity.setLocationAndAngles(x, y, z, MathHelper.wrapAngleTo180_float(world.rand.nextFloat() * 360.0F), 0.0F);
	if(entity instanceof EntityLiving){
		EntityLiving living = (EntityLiving) entity;
		living.rotationYawHead = living.rotationYaw;
        living.renderYawOffset = living.rotationYaw;
	}
	world.spawnEntityInWorld(entity);
	if(entity instanceof ISummonedEntity){
		((ISummonedEntity) entity).onSummoned(logic);
		((ISummonedEntity) entity).playSummonedSound(world, x, y, z);
	}
}

public static Entity getEntityByClass(Class<? extends Entity> clazz, World world){
	try {
		Class[] type = {World.class};
		Constructor cons = clazz.getConstructor(type);
		Object[] obj = {world};
		return (Entity) cons.newInstance(obj);
	} catch (NoSuchMethodException e1) {
		e1.printStackTrace();
	} catch (SecurityException e1) {
		e1.printStackTrace();
	} catch (InstantiationException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
	return null;
}

 

BTW all this is executed server side only. so no need to do the !world.isRemote check.

Is there an error on the console? Post it.

no error, like i said it spawns but it is teleported.

Try setting the pos fields?

entity.setLocationAndAngles(x, y, z, MathHelper.wrapAngleTo180_float(world.rand.nextFloat() * 360.0F), 0.0F);

this should set the pos fields.

and its already in but doesnt work unfortunatly.

In your Entity's onUpdate function do System.out.println("x:"+x+"y:"+"z:"+z) to make sure that it's coordinates are being inputed correctly.
