Posted February 12, 20178 yr I'm working on a robot which mines in a set direction. I want the robot to look at a block before mining it. I've tried using entity.getLookHelper().setLookPosition(position.getX(), position.getY(), position.getZ(), 10.0F, 10.0F); The entity moves its head towards the block, but not all the way. How can I make the entity look at the block properly? Edited February 12, 20178 yr by Coron
February 12, 20178 yr My guess is the robot is looking at one of the corners of the block? Have you tried offsetting each axis by 0.5D?

Good point, looks better now. But now I realize that what I actually might want is for the entity to turn towards the block, any idea on how to do that?
February 12, 20178 yr That I do not know. However, there may be some code in the EntityAI that does this. IIRC mobs do turn and face the player on occasion when the player is being looked at.
February 12, 20178 yr If you want it to turn slowly, you need to turn less (amount) over time (more than once). It's called LERPing. Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.
