Entity Navigation

Hey guys I hear you can make any entity follow a player using navigation but first how do I get it, and second how do I set it to a certain location?

 

Cast the entity to EntityInsentient and use .getNavigation()

Then, you can use a(int, int, int) to move the entity to the coordinates, xyz format. Make sure to cancel targeting events, or the entity can get distracted.

I solved my problem earlier by casting my Bukkit Pig entity to a "CraftPig", but whenever I tried to cast the pig to EntityInsentient, I kept getting ClassCastException, can't cast from CraftPig to EntityInsentient. Many people on the thread suggested I do that, but for some reason it didn't work, any idea why?

 

I'll have to check my sources but I'm pretty sure you cast EntityLiving to it?

 

xTrollxDudex
I was able to cast living entity, but it didn't have a .getNavigation() method for it.

 

Did you cast EntityLiving to EntityInsentient?

 

xTrollxDudex
Yep, tried the multi cast, in the end it still didn't work, I THInk the error was still cannot cast CraftPig to EntityInsentient. If you'd like I can get some errors and example code if needed as I am dumbfounded.

 

I think extending the pathfinding will favour you CaptainUniverse

 

Hey guys xTrollxDudex I'm casting a sheep to entityinsetient and I got an error saying I can not cast CraftSheep to EntityInsetient Do I need to get handle or something?

Ok I also tried
((EntityInsentient)(((CraftEntity)sheep)).getHandle()).getNavigation().a(loc.getX(), loc.getY(), loc.getZ());
but now It wont follow me. I even cancelled the EntityTargetEvent What do I do?

Are you sure it runs? You may need to resort to pathfinders if you continue to run into this problem.

 

Yes it does run. But I don't want to extend EntityPathFinders
xTrollxDudex how would you do this can I have some code please for maybe spawning a sheep then making it run to the sender? thanks

I had the exact same issue, I ended up using

Code:java

return ((CraftPig)p).getHandle().getNavigation().a(l.getX(), l.getY(), l.getZ(), .25);

Try using CraftSheep if that is a valid class.
