[1.11] Need help setting noClip.[Solved]

My Goal: Create spectator-like mode but allow ai and wander and spawn still.

My Problem: The noClip field is tied to a player's gametype.

I have looked through the EntityPlayer class and noClip is set by isSpectator()

early in the onUpdate, immediately after the first phase of PlayerTickEvent. The

next chance to set noClip to true appears to be in EntityLivingBase onUpdate and

that is where i am attempting to set it which is before any logic happens regarding noClip in EntityPlayer.  This is not working. 

I believe must have missed something in a child class or is this even possible through forge?

I have also attemped to change the collision box during GetCollisionBoxesEvent with no luck.

Any input appreciated.

EDIT:  As with everything that should work I made a simple mistake, I was not setting noClip on each side. Setting noClip in LivingUpdateEvent works as expected.
