Zombies moving faster?

Thanks! Means a lot :3

heres the source:

Code:java

package me.Corrie.TestPlugin;
 
import java.util.HashSet;
 
import net.minecraft.server.EntityCreature;
import net.minecraft.server.Navigation;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.entity.CraftCreature;
import org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.entity.Zombie;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class TestPlugin extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
HashSet<EntityCreature> mobs = new HashSet<EntityCreature>();
public void onDisable(){
 
}
public void onEnable(){
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this,this);
}
@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
Player player = (Player)sender;
Location loc = player.getTargetBlock(null, 100).getLocation();
loc.setY(loc.getY()+1);
Zombie z = (Zombie) loc.getWorld().spawnCreature(loc, EntityType.ZOMBIE);
EntityCreature ec = ((CraftCreature)z).getHandle();
mobs.add(ec);
return true;
}
@EventHandler
public void oninteract(PlayerInteractEvent event){
Location loc = event.getPlayer().getTargetBlock(null, 100).getLocation();
loc.setY(loc.getY()+1);
for(EntityCreature ec : mobs){
Navigation nav = ec.al();
nav.a(loc.getX(),loc.getY(),loc.getZ(),1.0f);
}
}
 
}

also, its not really reflection as it is hacky. I misused the term earlier, apologies.

You always make the best mods :3

Hm, the potion effect isn't doing anything. Even if I set it to 20000 power, the zombies stay at their original speed! D:

Any ideas? ^

slowness or speed potion effects doesn't affect mobs
Her plugin seem to do the trick, with some adjustments though, if i can figure out which libraries she's using :S

which is the craftbukkit jar

@CorrieKay
Yeah, I can't really understand what she did there. If she could help me finish this little part, I would be very greatful.

Um, sure, ill explain.. But not right now. its like, 1am and im about to head to bed, and its a little more complicated than im willing to explain right this moment x3 Tomorrow!

Thanks!

sounds great! i want mine to move slower though, but i guess that's just a lower float.

Corrie explained in a previous thread how to do this:
http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/setting-new-direction-for-creatures-to-go-in.74489/#post-1108987

somewhere at the resources section is a way how to hook into the movements of entites, mayby yif you call the entity's move functions 2 times instead of 1 time each tick, it ill move faster

so i'm trying this speed thing. but i can't wrap my head around the creation part of a new mob.
this is how i got, but i don't know how to define the location where the zombies are spawning.

this is what i got so far:

HashSet<EntityCreature> mobs = new HashSet<EntityCreature>();
Location loc = ;
loc.setY(loc.getY()+1);
Zombie z = (Zombie) loc.getWorld().spawnCreature(loc, EntityType.ZOMBIE);
EntityCreature ec = ((CraftCreature)z).getHandle();
Navigation nav = ec.al();
nav.a(loc.getX(),loc.getY(),loc.getZ(),0.5f);

@CorrieKay got any tips?

Nono, don't store EntityCreatures in collections, I believe it causes memory leaks because if it is in a chunk the server unloads, the server will try to unload it, but can't. Store UUIDs of Entities instead and then create a method that returns an entity when supplied with a UUID. Then define your EntityCreature and do the navigation stuff.

some guidelines? i'm fairly new to this

i know there was something in the resources forum about how to inject custom mobs into the server (not really custom, but classes that like, extends Zombie, or something)

I think thats where you need to go, however im not sure where the thread is exactly.

can't seem to find anything. anyone got any pointers?

beyond that you need to override the method that contains the method "a()" call, no, not really :\

I'm beyond confused. XD

its not easy stuff, heh, i dont pretend to understand it all.

I just wish the minecraft server code wasn't so damn obfuscated so we devs can pick through it easier and actually understand anything it does.

@CorrieKay, think you could explain how you would do that using only the standard bukkit API?
I think it could help alot of other also.

That is what you were talking about

I did, but actually making it passive (as in, make the server use it when the mob moves, instead of on a command or something via plugin) isnt something i know how to do off the top of my head
