Development Assistance Cannot cast CraftGhast to CraftCreature

Code:

    public void run() {
        if(GamePlayer.players.size() > 0) {
            for(GamePlayer player : GamePlayer.players) {
                if(!player.hasheli) continue;
              
                Entity ghast = player.helicopter;
              
                int x = player.getPlayer().getLocation().getBlockX();
                int y = player.getPlayer().getLocation().getBlockY() + 10;
                int z = player.getPlayer().getLocation().getBlockZ();
              
                CraftCreature cc = (CraftCreature) ghast; //error here
                EntityCreature cent = cc.getHandle();
              
                PathEntity path = cent.world.a(cent, x, y, z, (float) cent.getAttributeInstance(GenericAttributes.b).getValue(), true, false, false, true);
                cent.setPathEntity(path);
                cent.getNavigation().a(path, 1);
            }
        }
    }

I'm trying to make a ghast move to a player's location every second, however I keep getting this error whenever it is ran:

Code:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

A Entity isn't an CraftCreature.... You can't convert between them. Also, what is player.helicopter?

 

@darkbro100
Try converting it to a normal bukkit entity first.

PHP:

                            CraftGhast g;
                            CraftCreature cc = (CraftCreature) g.getHandle().getBukkitEntity();
                            cc.getHandle().getNavigation().a(path,l);

 

Apparently a ghast isn't a creature, so you can't treat it as one. For the record, if ghasts were in fact creatures, you wouldn't have to cast anyway. (Upcasts are in most cases redundant)

 

So how would I set a ghast's path if I can't treat it as a creature?

@97WaterPolo the code you gave me did not work, I got the same error. :c

EDIT by TImtower: merged posts and moved to Bukkit alternatives.

 

bump, any help would be appreciated
