Some weird boss health issue

[Thor597]

So, Im making a boss. And it has its health bar. So im using an interface to do some stuff to make it all work. However, when I spawn the boss it dies instantly.

 

Code in Entity File:

/** The maximum health of the Entity. */
protected int maxHealth = 250;

public int getMaxHealth()
{
	return this.maxHealth;
}

protected void entityInit()
{
	super.entityInit();
	this.dataWatcher.addObject(18, new Integer(this.maxHealth));
}

  public void onLivingUpdate()
    {
    	
    	if (!this.worldObj.isRemote)
        {
            this.dataWatcher.updateObject(18, Integer.valueOf(this.health));
        }
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    /**
     * Returns the health points of the dragon.
     */
    public int getBossHP()
    {
        return this.dataWatcher.getWatchableObjectInt(18);
    }

public int getBossMaxHP()
{
	return this.maxHealth;
}

 

AC_IArcticBoss:

package arcticraft.entities;

import net.minecraft.src.*;

public interface AC_IArcticBoss
{
public abstract int getBossHP();

    public abstract int getBossMaxHP();

    public abstract boolean isCurrentBoss();

    public abstract int getBossEntityID();

    public abstract String getBossTitle();

    public abstract Entity GetEntity();
}

Do you have something like:

this.health = this.maxHealth

in your constructor somewhere?

Also, how can I get an instance of EntityPlayer in my onDeathUpdate because what I have now is

 

Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.addChatMessage

 

and the problem with that is that 1. It sends the message 2 times and 2. It will crash on the server so what I need is like

 

if(EntityPlayerInstance instanceof EntityPlayerMP)

{

    EntityPlayerInstance.addChatMessage

}

I'm using this in my Clay Soldiers Mod:

private void showChatMessageToAll(String msg) {
	Iterator<EntityPlayer> players = this.worldObj.playerEntities.iterator();
	while(players.hasNext()) {
		EntityPlayer player = players.next();
		if(getDistanceSqToEntity(player) < 32F)
			player.sendChatToPlayer(msg);
	}
}

 

Add this method in your entity and call it where you want. Be sure that this only gets called on the server with checking: worldObj.isRemote == false.

 

One note: this line:

if(getDistanceSqToEntity(player) < 32F)

checks if the players are within the range. If you want to send it to all players on the server, simply remove this line.

Iterator<EntityPlayer> players = this.worldObj.playerEntities.iterator();

		while(players.hasNext())
		{				
			EntityPlayer player = players.next();

			if(player instanceof EntityPlayerMP)
			{
				player.sendChatToPlayer("\247bNooo! SsSsSsStupid HumansSsSsSsSsSs, you will pay for what you've done!");
			}
		}

 

I altered it to this. Thank you!
