Mog AI

[daafganggdg]

Hey guys,

Im trying to make an own mob and got stuck on getting it to move around and do stuff like other mobs I found the AI tasks, so im right on creating my own tasks extending EntityAIBase? (I'm making a flying mob so I dont want to use the normal tasks)

Where am I going to handle the tasks, like starting and finishing them?

Only found the method

    protected void updateAITasks(){}

in EntityLiving

but aint sure what to do there..

Thanks in advance

Well, I've never created an AI but I'll try to help you.

 

My best guess is this:

 

In your constructor add a parameter:

 

public YouAIName(EntityLiving entity){

}

 

Add the code in their, you said you wanted it to fly right?

 

If so add something like this:

 

public YouAIName(EntityLiving entity){
     entity.setFlying(true);
}

 

I don't think that  the setFlying method exists but something like that. Hope this helped.

Ah, Yeah. I did that a while ago. I will try to post something useful in a few hours when i am back home.

But flying? sounds awesome. What kind of mob are you trying to create? (I? out of ideas for my own mod? Nooo way ;P )

You might want to look at my tutorial about AI: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-forge-1721710-custom-entity-ai.html

 

I didn't actually do much with a custom AI itself, but I explain a lot about how the AI works generally.

 

Also, if you're doing custom mobs you might want to check out the rest of my tutorial for custom living entities: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/creating-custom-entities.html

What kind of mob are you trying to create?

Hi me again

So, I thought it may be a good idea to use the EntityAIWander and the just handle the motionY in the update method of my entity manually, however EntityAIWander only sets the path of my entity to a "viable" location so, on superflat only height 4, and I dont really understand why?

EntityAIWander  uses

RandomPositionGenerator.findRandomTarget(this.entity, 10, 7);

to get a random Vec3 and then sets the path of the entity to it, cant find anything changing the y coord..

Have you tried looking up source for the bat?

 

It does fly around and "land" on blocks upside down, maybe you can find something useful there.

Jup, but still wondering about that weird y coord behavior with the wanderer
