Make specific entities tick before others

[thebest108]

If I wanted my custom entity to tick before all other entities, how would I do it?

I don't think there's any way to control the order that entities are ticked in, it's just done in the order they're spawned in the world.

 

You could subscribe to

TickEvent.WorldTickEvent

and iterate through

World#loadedEntityList

to pre-update any of your entities that are currently loaded. This event is fired with

Phase.START

before each

World

(dimension) is ticked and

Phase.END

after.

 

Do you really need to do this? Why does the tick order matter?

Thanks, yeah I need the ships to process their movement before other energies and then I can add that momentum to each entity using my collision system.

 

In theory I can move entities without them a spazzing.
