TheSoulution: I didn't override isAiEnabled that is important when extending EntityMob :-[

 

I have two mobs i made extending EntityMob

They have identical model, renderer,only difference is texture.

The entity class values are similar except I make them target each other but the problem is they don't attack each other. I want them to attack and track each other

redMob

 

package com.harpcode.alienmod;
import net.minecraft.entity.SharedMonsterAttributes;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIAttackOnCollide;

import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAISwimming;

import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIWatchClosest;
import net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntityMob;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class redAlienBossEntity extends EntityMob
{
public redAlienBossEntity(World p_i1582_1_) 
{
	super(p_i1582_1_);
	this.tasks.addTask(0, new EntityAISwimming(this));
	this.tasks.addTask(2, new EntityAIAttackOnCollide(this,blueAlienBossEntity.class,1.0D,false));
	this.tasks.addTask(3, new EntityAIWander(this,1.0D));
	this.tasks.addTask(4,new EntityAIWatchClosest(this,blueAlienBossEntity.class,8.0F));
	this.tasks.addTask(4, new EntityAILookIdle(this));
	this.targetTasks.addTask(1,new EntityAIHurtByTarget(this,true));
	this.targetTasks.addTask(0, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this,blueAlienBossEntity.class,0,true));		
}	
protected void applyEntityAttributes()
{
	super.applyEntityAttributes();
	this.getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.attackDamage).setBaseValue(;
	this.getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.maxHealth).setBaseValue(20);
	this.getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.movementSpeed).setBaseValue(.;
}
public EntityPlayer findPlayerToAttack()
{
	return null;

}
}

set it up better :)

 

        this.targetTasks.addTask(0, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this, blueAlienBossEntity.class, 0, true));

 

strange why their are attacking you, because there isn't attack player in their ai .

1.7.10 mobs are somewhat hard-coded to look for players, as they all extend EntityCreature which every tick during #updateEntityActionState will target the nearest player if it's not already attacking something.

 

An easy solution is to override #findPlayerToAttack in your custom mob classes to always return null.

I'm not sure but maybe this works:

 

public boolean canAttackClass(Class class) {

  return redEntitySomething.class != class && blueEntitySomething.class != class;

}

 

I saw this in the source code of minecraft somewhere. I forget where.

#canAttackClass is called from EntityAITarget when determining if a target is suitable... if he uses your code as written, it will guarantee they don't attack each other, which is the exact opposite of what he wants.

 

There is no reason to override the default implementation in the majority of cases.

 

@OP I'm not sure why your mobs aren't attacking each other, but maybe they are and you just can't tell. To know for sure, override #attackEntityAsMob in each of your entity classes and put a System.out.println("Attacking "  + entity.getClass().getSimpleName()) to find out a. if they are ever attacking anything and b. what they are attacking.

 

You should still be able to get them to attack you as a player by hitting them first, so if you're not seeing any console output, try hitting one.

@Override
public  boolean attackEntityAsMob(Entity entity)
{
	System.out.println("Attacking "  + entity.getClass().getSimpleName());
	return true;		
}

I added this statement they do not attack each other, I get no console output.If i Attack I do get console output of them attack me

I HAve also tested it with villager class my mob doesn't attack anyone through targeting

Updated code for the class

 

public class blueAlienBossEntity extends EntityMob
{
public blueAlienBossEntity(World p_i1582_1_) 
{
	super(p_i1582_1_);
	this.tasks.addTask(0, new EntityAISwimming(this));
	this.tasks.addTask(2, new EntityAIAttackOnCollide(this,redAlienBossEntity.class,1.0D,false));
	this.tasks.addTask(3, new EntityAIWander(this,1.0D));
	this.tasks.addTask(4,new EntityAIWatchClosest(this,redAlienBossEntity.class,8.0F));
	this.tasks.addTask(4, new EntityAILookIdle(this));
	this.targetTasks.addTask(1,new EntityAIHurtByTarget(this,true));
	this.targetTasks.addTask(0, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this,redAlienBossEntity.class,0,true));		
}	
@Override
protected void applyEntityAttributes()
{
	super.applyEntityAttributes();
	this.getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.attackDamage).setBaseValue(;
	this.getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.maxHealth).setBaseValue(400);
	this.getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.movementSpeed).setBaseValue(1);
}
@Override
public EntityPlayer findPlayerToAttack()
{
	return null;

}
@Override
public  boolean attackEntityAsMob(Entity entity)
{
	System.out.println("Attacking "  + entity.getClass().getSimpleName());
	return true;		
}
}

In that case, you may have to override #onLivingUpdate or one of the other update methods and do a little hack like vanilla does to search for the nearest player, but instead search for the nearest of your entity and set it as the current target.

 

I don't see anything else in your code that would prevent them from attacking each other, so perhaps it's just that the targeting AI isn't as, um, performant as one would expect :P

How would I search for the nearest entity from this entity point of view and set it target.

I tried this code but all it does is crash minecraft. I thought this would search within 10 blocks of the entity i could not find documentation on what is supposed to be passed in the parameters so i did take take a guess

 

@Override
public void onLivingUpdate() {
	if(this.getAttackTarget()==null)
	{
		Entity target=worldObj.findNearestEntityWithinAABB(redAlienBossEntity.class,this.getBoundingBox().expand(10, 10, 10), this);
		this.setTarget(target);
	}
}

That's called an AI Task and there's already an AI Task for this, go look at EntityZombie

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

I have already tried ai task for my custom entity (i added a villager in the EntityAINearestAttackableTarget ai) the mob won't target them for some reason.the only time the mob attacks is if it was attacked first. That is why i was hoping to implement the target manually. I have tried darybob suggestion of adding superMethod on livingupdate it didn't fix it.

      [1.18.2] Custom armor set extending DyeableArmorItem is dye-able, but not displaying

      By CatzRule81 · Posted

      I am not using hardcoded recipes, I'm using Vanilla's already existing code for leather armor dying. (via extending and implementing DyeableArmorItem / DyeableLeatherItem respectively) I have actually figured out that it's something to do with registering item colors to the ItemColors instance, but I'm trying to figure out where exactly in my mod's code I would be placing a call to the required event handler. Unfortunately the tutorial is criminally undescriptive. The most I've found is that it has to be done during client initialization. I'm currently trying to do the necessary setup via hijacking the item registry since trying to modify the item classes directly (via using SubscribeEvent in the item's constructor didn't work. Class so far: // mrrp mrow - mcmod item painter v1.0 - catzrule ch package catzadvitems.init; import net.minecraft.client.color.item.ItemColors; import net.minecraft.world.item.Item; import net.minecraftforge.registries.ObjectHolder; import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLClientSetupEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.SubscribeEvent; import net.minecraftforge.client.event.ColorHandlerEvent; import catzadvitems.item.DyeableWoolArmorItem; @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD) public class Painter { @ObjectHolder("cai:dyeable_wool_chestplate") public static final Item W_CHEST = null; @ObjectHolder("cai:dyeable_wool_leggings") public static final Item W_LEGS = null; @ObjectHolder("cai:dyeable_wool_boots") public static final Item W_SOCKS = null; public Painter() { // left blank, idk if forge throws a fit if constructors are missing, not taking the chance of it happening. } @SubscribeEvent public static void init(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { new Painter(); } @Mod.EventBusSubscriber private static class ForgeBusEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void registerItemColors(ColorHandlerEvent.Item event) { ItemColors col = event.getItemColors(); col.register(DyeableUnderArmorItem::getItemDyedColor, W_CHEST, W_LEGS, W_SOCKS); //placeholder for other dye-able items here later.. } } } (for those wondering, i couldn't think of a creative wool helmet name)

      [1.18.2] Custom armor set extending DyeableArmorItem is dye-able, but not displaying

      By Shipwrecker · Posted

      Maybe there's something happening in the 'leather armor + dye' recipe itself that would be updating the held item texture?

      [1.20.1] Difficulty getting custom player model to render

      By Shipwrecker · Posted

      @SubscribeEvent public static void onRenderPlayer(RenderPlayerEvent.Pre e) { e.setCanceled(true); model.renderToBuffer(e.getPoseStack(), pBuffer, e.getPackedLight(), 0f, 0f, 0f, 0f, 0f); //ToaPlayerRenderer.render(); } Since getting the render method from a separate class is proving to be bit of a brick wall for me (but seems to be the solution in older versions of minecraft/forge) I've decided to try and pursue using the renderToBuffer method directly from the model itself. I've tried this route before but can't figure out what variables to feed it for the vertexConsumer and still can't seem to figure it out; if this is even a path to pursue.  The vanilla model files do not include any form of render methods, and seem to be fully constructed from their layer definitions? Their renderer files seem to take their layers which are used by the render method in the vanilla MobRenderer class. But for modded entities we @Override this function and don't have to feed the method variables because of that? I assume that the render method in the extended renderer takes the layer definitions from the renderer classes which take those from the model files. Or maybe instead of trying to use a render method I should be calling the super from the renderer like   new ToaPlayerRenderer(context, false); Except I'm not sure what I would provide for context? There's a context method in the vanilla EntityRendererProvider class which doesn't look especially helpful. I've been trying something like <e.getEntity(), model<e.getEntity()>> since that generally seems to be what is provided to the renderers for context, but I don't know if it's THE context I'm looking for? Especially since the method being called doesn't want to take this or variations of this.   In short; I feel like I'm super super close but I have to be missing something obvious? Maybe this insane inane ramble post will provide some insight into this puzzle?
