It does not work "setTarget ()"

Code:

Creature entity = (Creature) spawnLocatin.getWorld().spawnEntity(
                    spawnLocatin, EntityType.ZOMBIE);
((Zombie)entity).setTarget((LivingEntity)player);

It does not seem to be functioning.

What's wrong...?

Define, 'not working'. Like, not spawning? or has errors?

 

I'm sorry insufficient explanation...
target has not been updated.

 

The setTarget() method is interesting. Be sure it's night, and that you're not in creative mode whilst testing.

 

Why would you convert it to its superclass?

 

was not in creative mode.

 

So your issue is, that when using setTarget() the zombies won't attack you after being spawned? Are they just not going after you, or something else?

 

"((Zombie)entity).getTarget()" and "(LivingEntity)player"
It became the same result

 

No, it doesn't work, I don't know how much time has been broken but it doesn't work, the solution I made was making the mob walk in the direction of the player, but setTarget never worked for me.

 

setTarget only works for wolves as a switch between being angry and setting a target to some one I thought, not exactly sure though.

from what I know for other entitys it doesn't work unless they 'may' have smilliarities with a wolf for example a Iron Golem can be angry on a player to however I don't think that was implemented in setTarget, there where some changes about setTarget() around 1.7 though.

 

kotake545 how far away were you from the entity?

 

About 10m

zombie is the aim players in the vicinity only

kotake545 have you tried debugging the EntityTargetEvent - perhaps it found a new target or lost the target due to an unknown reason

 

Code:

// HashMap<Entity,Entity> CheckTarget;
@EventHandler
    public static void EntityTargetEntity(final EntityTargetEvent event){
        if(CheckTarget.containsKey(event.getEntity())){
            if(event.getTarget()!=CheckTarget.get(event.getEntity())){
                event.setCancelled(true);
            }
        }
    }

Code:

CheckTarget.put(entity,target);
entity.damage(0.0D,target);
entity.setVelocity(new Vector());

If you specify a target in this way, everything is working.
Please tell me if there are other ways.
