IGM.setCustomName(ChatColor.AQUA + "Info");

}

@EventHandler

e.setCancelled(true);

spawnMOB(p);


}
return false;
}
}
How would i make it stationary and invincibile?

Did you check the Resources? You probably will find something on this.

Invincible: setNoDamageTicks() <---something like that
Stationary: Invisible wither skulls

 

don't paste raw code into your post body. Use the code tags or a paste service like https://gist.github.com/

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onDamage(EntityDamageEvent e){
e.setCancelled(true);
}

Wouldn't this prevent any entities from being damaged?

 

97WaterPolo Quick fix: add the spawned iron golems to an array list. Check to see if the hit entity belongs to the array list. Cancel depending on result.

Yeah, to make it immobile, I'd probably spawn a wither skeleton skull and set the iron golem as a passenger...if possible.

 

Your not registering the events.....

 

Using wither skulls is not the best option and it is a very non future proof method. I'm not sure why people seem to think it is the normal or best way to make immobile entities nowadays. Instead you should be clearing their AI pathfinders or overriding their base tick function with an empty function. Wither skulls is esspecially not a good recommendation because if the person ever wants to make the entity move in any way (like an NPC or other similar situation) they won't be able to.

 

RingOfStorms Yeah, you make a lot of sense! Editing their pathfinders in the NMS is a near fail-safe way of doing things. However, remember, there is a lot of set up involved with NMS that most people won't want to go through (unless if they are fans of the copy-paste techniques). I am currently writing a plugin that heavily relies on NMS editing, so I would much rather use NMS, but I try to stay away from that when trying to work on other plugins or help others.

For now, wither skulls show some promise, I'm sure fire charges and a few other projectiles also work (right?). They might not work tomorrow, but for today, they'll be ok...but I challenge all experience Bukkit programmers to think of a more reliable method that does not use NMS, as NMS is messy and complex for beginner users.

 

In that case wither skull would still be my last option, a better solution that is even more friendly than a wither skull would be a slowness potion with a high amplifier making it so the entity can't move.

 

Hmm...I think I heard of that before. A slowness 7 potion should suffice in complete immobility...However, would the entity still be able to turn on the spot? This might or might not be optimal.

 

Skionz Thanks for that, and thanks every one else!

But is there also any way to make it so it can not be pushed by players?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

PotatoLol12321 then you need a custom entity

 

The only way to do that without a custom entity would be teleporting them every few ticks back to their original spot.

 

Alright
