Im trying to disable an entities ai under certain circumstances. As of now i tried to do it with potions. i do not want to do entity#setNoAI as that also disables general movement of it (means it floats in midair and stuff).

EntityLiving#tasks has a control flag but due to call order even if i set it in my potion it gets cancelled (or maybe i did it wrong). Is there any way to disable the execution of the ai from an entity?

 

This is my current potion class:

Spoiler

package com.flemmli97.runecraftory.common.potion;

import com.flemmli97.runecraftory.common.lib.LibReference;

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLiving;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.attributes.AbstractAttributeMap;
import net.minecraft.potion.Potion;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;

public class PotionSleep extends Potion{
	
	public PotionSleep() {
		super(true, 0);
		this.setPotionName("sleep");
		this.setRegistryName(new ResourceLocation(LibReference.MODID, "sleep"));
	}

    public void removeAttributesModifiersFromEntity(EntityLivingBase entity, AbstractAttributeMap attributeMapIn, int amplifier)
    {
		if(entity instanceof EntityLiving)
		{
			//((EntityLiving)entity).tasks.setControlFlag(1, false);
			//((EntityLiving)entity).tasks.setControlFlag(4, false);
			//((EntityLiving)entity).tasks.setControlFlag(8, false);
		}
        		//((EntityLiving)entityLivingBaseIn).setNoAI(false);        	
        super.removeAttributesModifiersFromEntity(entity, attributeMapIn, amplifier);
    }
    
    public boolean isReady(int duration, int amplifier)
    {
    	return true;
    }
    
    @Override
    public void performEffect(EntityLivingBase entity, int amplifier)
    {
		if(entity instanceof EntityLiving)
		{
			//For testing
			//((EntityLiving)entity).tasks.setControlFlag(1, true);
			//((EntityLiving)entity).tasks.setControlFlag(4, true);
			//((EntityLiving)entity).tasks.setControlFlag(2, true);
			//this should disable all entity ai
			((EntityLiving)entity).tasks.setControlFlag(8, true);
			((EntityLiving)entity).targetTasks.setControlFlag(8, true);

		}
    }

    public void applyAttributesModifiersToEntity(EntityLivingBase entity, AbstractAttributeMap attributeMapIn, int amplifier)
    {
    	//((EntityLiving)entity).tasks
			//((EntityLiving)entity).setNoAI(true);
        super.applyAttributesModifiersToEntity(entity, attributeMapIn, amplifier);
    }
}

I would create a new task, add it with priority 0, and have it use a mutex flag value of 0xFFFFFF.

 

That would prevent other tasks from running.
