Ticking Entity (Common Issue)

SecondAmendment · February 18, 2017

Ok so I am trying to get the mobs around the player. However I cant do that because the entity is Ticking. I have solved many of these problems in the past, however I dont know how to solve this one.

	public void playerTick(PlayerTickEvent event)
	{
		entities = event.player.getEntityWorld().getEntitiesWithinAABBExcludingEntity(event.player, event.player.getCollisionBoundingBox().expand(5.0D, 5.0D, 5.0D));
		for(Entity entity : entities){

"Ticking entity" is just a generic message used for any crash report that happens when an entity is being ticked. It doesn't say anything about what caused the crash report.

If your code is crashing, post the crash report (or read it yourself and figure out why it's happening).

It tells me there is a null pointer but I dont know where a value would be null.

SecondAmendment · February 18, 2017

Could it be due to the fact that act that current point in time there are no mobs around me causing it to crash? Ill try adding a check to see if there are any mobs first.

This is the crash report/stacktrace

The crash occurs right after I join a world.

Here is the whole area where it occurs:

	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
	@SubscribeEvent
	public void playerTick(PlayerTickEvent event)
	{
		entities = event.player.getEntityWorld().getEntitiesWithinAABBExcludingEntity(event.player, event.player.getCollisionBoundingBox().expand(5.0D, 5.0D, 5.0D));
		for(Entity entity : entities){
			event.player.addChatMessage(((EntityLivingBase) entity).getHeldItemMainhand().getTextComponent());
		}
}

The variable entities is defined earlier as follows:

	List<Entity> entities;

Why is entities a field and not a local variable?

I assume you are still on a version before 1.11.x, in which case ItemStacks can still be null, which means getHeldItemMainhand will return null if the entity is not holding an item. You then try to call getTextComponent on null.

I know, I still have to add a check for a null getItemMainHand but I already tried commenting that out and the problem still occured on the line where it states:

player.getEntityWorld().getEntitiesWithinAABBExcludingEntity(event.player, event.player.getCollisionBoundingBox().expand(5.0D, 5.0D, 5.0D));

as for the entities field not being a local variable

I changed it:

	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
	@SubscribeEvent
	public void playerTick(PlayerTickEvent event)
	{
		List<Entity> entities = event.player.getEntityWorld().getEntitiesWithinAABBExcludingEntity(event.player, event.player.getCollisionBoundingBox().expand(5.0D, 5.0D, 5.0D));
		for(Entity entity : entities){
			event.player.addChatMessage(((EntityLivingBase) entity).getHeldItemMainhand().getTextComponent());
		}
			if(event.player.getLastAttacker() != null && !event.player.getLastAttacker().equals(previousentity) && (event.player.getLastAttacker().getHeldItemMainhand() != null)){
				event.player.addChatMessage(event.player.getLastAttacker().getHeldItemMainhand().getTextComponent());
				previousentity = (Entity) event.player.getLastAttacker();
		}
	}

Problem still occurs. Same line

I just didn't have the variable locally because I might want to use it for later in some other method.
