How to make a custom mob hold a item

[rock0520]

Im making a mob and what it to hold a sword like zombie pigmen do is this possible? because i've searched all over the internet and can't find anything. Thanks in advance

I haven't tested it, but looking at the EntityPigZombie class, you can see that this method is used:

 

protected void func_82164_bB()
    {
        this.setCurrentItemOrArmor(0, new ItemStack(Item.swordGold));
    }

 

I guess you should be able to apply the same function to another class derived from EntityLiving.

The was the first thing i tried but.....ya isent there a working way to do it with forge because ive seen forge mods with item holding mobs.

[HoBoS_TaCo]

private static final ItemStack defaultHeldItem = new ItemStack(Item.swordStone, 1);



@Override
public ItemStack getHeldItem()
{
    return defaultHeldItem;
}

For some reason it dosent work could you take a look at the code because i may have did something wrong?
