[1.7.10] How to Give a mob a useable storage

[Thornack]

Hi everyone,

 

Does anyone know how you would go about giving a custom mob a usable storage? By usable i mean if this mob picks up a sword, an axe and a bow/arrows it can use its ai to switch weapons at whim and attack the player using those items. Im not sure where to start with this one.

 

I will be researching this/ trying to accomplish it for the next little while and will post any progress I make

Any input/ideas/tutorials/info is appreciated thanks

So far I have written an inventory class. Im not sure how to add it to my entities in a way so that it becomes transferrable between my player and the entity because I have a method that swaps the player and entity so that the player becomes the entity and the entity becomes the player. Their models swap, positions swap, textures swap, and stats will also swap. But i need to be able to get the inventory from my entity that is full of items and give it to the player upon morph so that he can use it during morph. If he picks up an item while morphed and then morphs back i want the entity to get the inventory from the player containing the new items and i want it to be able to use them. unsure where to go next.

private final String inventoryName = "customInventory";

				setInventorySlotContents(slot, null);

	return stack;
