[1.11.2] Dynamic Entity Hitboxes

[Tschipp]

Hi, I have an Animal that grows with a smooth animation (meaning it grows continuously until it reaches adult size).

It has a value for its age, and I now want to be able to have a dynamic hitbox, meaning that the animal grows together with the render scale.

How would I accomplish such a thing?

What I did was to just put Entity#setSize([width of grown animal] * [a factor that goes from the smallest size* when it's a baby, up to 1 when it's an adult], [height of grown animal] * [the same factor]); in EntityLivingBase#onLivingUpdate. In order to calculate the factor I would need to see your code for handling aging, unless you could figure it out yourself?

 

*By the smallest size I mean say if the smallest version of the animal was 20% the size of the adult one, the "smallest size" would be 0.2, if it was 10% it would be 0.1 etc.
