[1.11.2] How to take over a living entity?

[Kriptikz]

I'm trying to create an item that allows you to take over a living entity on right click, possibly leaving the players body where it is. To leave the players body I think I just have to create a custom entity and spawn it where the player was with players data.

How do I go about actually taking over the living entity? I think there are two possibilities:

1. There is a relatively easy way that allows control over a living entity and moves the players camera position to the eye height of the entity, already built into Minecraft/Minecraft Forge.

2. Despawn the living entity (or EntityLiving::setDead()) and store living entity data in player, give the player the model of the living entity that was right clicked, and set the player position to the living entities position. Then when the player wants to switch back do the opposite.

There's a whole tangle of code associated with being a player, so I think you're going to need to go with an extension of EntityPlayer. That means try the substitution(s) and re-skin.
