Pigs attacking while being attacked.

Well so far I'm trying to make it so pigs attack on sight, but it's not working.

Can anyone help me make it so pigs attack while being attacked?

current code:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
World world = player.getWorld();
List<Entity> worldEntities = world.getEntities();
for (Entity entity : worldEntities) {
if(entity.getClass().getName().equalsIgnoreCase("PIG")) {
Creature creature = (Creature) entity;
creature.setTarget(player);
}
}
}

 

Pigs can't actually attack. Even if they we're targetting the player, all they would do if look at the player.

 

i'm source it's possible with damage event

 

I mean you could make it so that the pigs follow players and cause damage within a certain range or something, but they cannot "naturally" attack players.

 

mhm, i'm trying to do the unnatural part, care to help?

what are you having trouble with?

 

Heads up, looping through all entities in the world every time a player moves, is a recipe for disaster.

 

This.

Also, the entity's class name would be CraftPig, not Pig. You would want to do world.getEntitiesByClass(Pig.class)

It would be better to only look at entities surrounding the player. player.getNearbyEntities()
Also, your current code does not account for a pig attacking a player who stands still.
