Mob attack all other mobs but not itself.

I'm making a zombie that kills everything except itself and the player if he is wearing a specific helmet. I got the helmet code from the enderman, but I can't get the zombies to stop killing each other. I used this method to make them so genocidal.

 

        this.targetTasks.addTask(4, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this, EntityLiving.class, 0, false, true));

 

Unfortunately, this zombie is a part of EntityLiving so it attacks its own kin. How do I fix this?

You will have to create a new AI similar to AINearestAttackableEntity.

You will need to write a custom AI task that does what EntityAINearestAttackableTarget does, except it also includes an "exclude class" parameter and checks against it.

Thanks. I will go do that now.

Actually I just realized how little I know about EntityAI class creation. How would I start?

[Draco18s]

Go look at the EntityAINearestAttackableTarget class.

[Xawolf]

Fair enough. Thanks.

In fact, you might even get away with extending the EntityAINearestAttackableTarget class. If the existing parameters include the zombie (is that the "this"?), then you should have enough information to avoid attacking other instances of its class.
