so as you guys probably know from previous posts, I am constantly trying to make an attack animation for my ranged mob. the problem is, Im not sure how to implement an attack timer for a ranged mob so, yeah can someone explain it to me please.

 

here is my current code:

package com.OlympiansMod.entity;

There is an entity onUpdate() method. Figure the rest out yourself.

also how to you call on the entitys health when they get to a certain health.

What?

 

I think he means to ask "how to execute something when Entity has certain HP". Again, onUpdate() is your friend.

And getHealth()
