Making entity spawn ONLY AT NIGHT (SOLVED+SOLUTION)

[Alesimula]

hi,  i have created an entity and now i want it to spawn only at night...

this is the code i use to spawn it:

 

ModLoader.addSpawn(EntityGlacialTurtle.class, 20, 2, 2, EnumCreatureType.monster, new BiomeGenBase[] {Glacia});

 

and this is my EntityGlacialTurtle.java

 

package net.minecraft.src;

import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIAttackOnCollide;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIBreakDoor;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIHurtByTarget;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAILookIdle;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIMoveThroughVillage;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIMoveTwardsRestriction;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAINearestAttackableTarget;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAISwimming;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIWander;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIWatchClosest;
import net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntityMob;
import net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntityVillager;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.util.DamageSource;
import net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntityVillager;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityAgeable;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLiving;
import net.minecraft.pathfinding.PathEntity;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemFood;

public class EntityGlacialTurtle extends EntityMob{

    public EntityGlacialTurtle(World var1)
    {
        super(var1);
        this.health = 10;
        
        this.texture = "/mob/Glacia/GlacialTurtle.png";
        this.moveSpeed = 1.0F;
        this.tasks.addTask(0, new EntityAISwimming(this));
        this.tasks.addTask(4, new EntityAIMoveTwardsRestriction(this, this.moveSpeed));
        this.tasks.addTask(5, new EntityAIMoveThroughVillage(this, this.moveSpeed, false));
        this.tasks.addTask(6, new EntityAIWander(this, this.moveSpeed));
        this.tasks.addTask(7, new EntityAIWatchClosest(this, EntityPlayer.class, 8.0F));
        this.tasks.addTask(7, new EntityAILookIdle(this));
        this.targetTasks.addTask(1, new EntityAIHurtByTarget(this, false));
	this.setSize(0.9F, 1.3F);
    }

    public int getMaxHealth()
    {
        return 10;
    }

public boolean canBreatheUnderwater()
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Drop 0-2 items of this living's type
     */
    protected void dropFewItems(boolean var1, int var2)
    {
        this.entityDropItem(new ItemStack(mod_Glacia.SaberToothedCatMeat.itemID, 1, 0), 0.0F);
    }
    
    protected void dropRareDrop(int par1)
    {
        this.dropItem(mod_Glacia.SaberToothedCatMeat.itemID, 1);
    }
   
    /**
     * Returns the sound this mob makes while it's alive.
     */
    public String getLivingSound()
    {
        return "";
    }

    /**
     * Returns the sound this mob makes when it is hurt.
     */
    public String getHurtSound()
    {
        return "";
    }

    /**
     * Returns the sound this mob makes on death.
     */
    public String getDeathSound()
    {
        return "";
    }

    /**
     * Determines if an entity can be despawned, used on idle far away entities
     */
    protected boolean canDespawn()
    {
        return false;
    }
}

 

It works well, but i want to make it spawn only on night, how can i do?

There is a method called something like isValidSpawn() in Entity. Use that (override it) and use the world to check the time of day.

for all people want to know how to do it:

 

public boolean getCanSpawnHere()
{
         return !this.worldObj.isDaytime() && !this.worldObj.isRemote;
}
