Hi,

I was wondering how to add new AI mechanics to existing vanilla mobs. The only way I can think of doing it is accessing a mob's tasks and targetTasks variables whenever it joins the game (via Forge's EntityJoinWorldEvent) and adding the new AI task there. Is there a better way to doing this? Perhaps something that adds the AI to all mobs instead of one at a time? Thanks - SH

To add new AI tasks you need to use

EntityLiving#tasks

and

EntityLiving#targetTasks

, yes. The earliest you can do this is

EntityJoinWorldEvent

.

 

There's no way to globally add a new AI task that's automatically applied to every entity.
