1.12.2 How to make Vanilla Ai attack custom mobs

[solidarityK]

Hey, So I've created a golem-like class, And I was wondering how I would go about making mobs like zombies attack this mob, just like they would an iron golem. Any help would be welcome.

 

I'm not too sure where to start, I believe I would have to create an instance of some sorts but I'm not sure where and I'm not sure how?

Quote of the day right here.

You need to add a new task to the zombie's AI task list. It's public.

[solidarityK]

Yeah, I gathered that it was public and that I need to add to the list, But I'm not sure about how to go about doing that or where I would do it, I'll be honest I'm probably just being stupid.

in an EntityJoinWorldEvent event handler.

 Like this?

 

   @SubscribeEvent
    public void spawnEvent(EntityJoinWorldEvent event) {
        if (event.getEntity() instanceof EntityZombie) {
            EntityZombie Zombie = (EntityZombie) event.getEntity();
            
                Zombie.targetTasks.addTask(2, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(Zombie, entityGoldenGolem.class, true));
        
    

            }
        }

Yes, that should work.

[solidarityK]

Okay well, I've tried it and it's not working, again I'm most likely being stupid and declaring it in the wrong place.

[solidarityK]

Nevermind I sorted it, As I said I was being dumb, Thank you Jabelar and Draco18s for the help, I appreciate it.

For those who might run into the same problem: what did you do to fix it?

[solidarityK]

I'll do a little bit more testing and then drop some stuff here

[mirk]

Thanks!

[solidarityK]

So quite Simply the problem wasn't with the code I had provided above is that I had forgotten to put a line of code within the main class.

 

public static eventhandler eventHandlerClient;
