Controllable Mobs API

Table of Contents

Welcome to the API which lets you take full control of (nearly) any entity!

This project has been discontinued!

Features

order an entity to move or look at specified locations, jump, wait, die, follow or attack custom targets
fully take control of an entity by planning actions that are added to an action queue
modify the AI of any entity - remove default behaviors or add custom ones!
configure custom behaviors with various parameters
modify an entity's attributes (movement speed, attack damage, ...)
standalone plugin - just add a dependency and updating will be done in no time.
Bukkit-friendly API - you don't have to deal with Craftbukkit code or native minecraft server code.
server-only mod - does not require client modifications

API tutorials

work-in-progress (is not being maintained atm)

The basics (creating a plugin, spawning entities, creating actions)

Does it work on 1.7.2 because I take errors and I'm not sure if I'm wrong somewhere or it just doesn't update for 1.7.2.

Thank you (; Nice plugin

I tried to make a Dota-like creep but that didnt work much (I'm not a good programmer).. But still use your plugin to change atributtes and use only some behaviours and not all of them (;

@MRPSDev

want to provide a new one? ;)

But I really think this icon suits the project the best. It is technical and.. uuhh..

Now seriously: bukkitDev just took the first image I uploaded and set it as the project icon, don't know why, and I can't remove it.

Okay guys, I'm going to update it within the next days! But I'm afraid I don't have the time to write extensive tutorials :(

Also, if you have any feature requests, bugs, and so on, please: Open a new ticket! I don't want to go all through the comment section to find out what's needed. By posting just comments you will not help me to keep track of issues and I can't answer to specific questions.

If you're wondering if people like your API enough to request that it be updated to 1.6.4, I do. Also:

Is there a way to make mobs that don't have any kind of attack normally, like villagers, attack? Right now I have it set up so that their behavior is to target and melee attack anything that hurts them, but right now their version of a melee attack is to stare angrily at you.
Can you write a tutorial on creating custom behaviors?

#108 Posted Oct 30, 2013

Hey, i realy don't know if this is possible but let me briefly explain it. I hate it when wooden doors are blocking zombies and they are knocking and knocking against it. But i don't want them to break them too. My idea is to let the open the door once the event EntityBreakDoor is launched. I already canceled that event, but i cant find a way to open the door now, i cant even get the block id / the block name. I've tried

Is something like this possible?

	@EventHandler
	public void onEntityBreakDoor(EntityBreakDoorEvent event){
		Entity entity = event.getEntity();
		event.setCancelled(true);
		getLogger().info("[OpenDoors] EntityBreakDoorEvent cancelled.");
		Block block = event.getBlock();
		
		Location blockAboveLocation = block.getLocation().add(0, 1, 0);
		Block blockAbove = blockAboveLocation.getBlock();
		
		if(block.getType() == Material.WOODEN_DOOR || blockAbove.getType() == Material.WOODEN_DOOR) {
			getLogger().info("[OpenDoors] If detected and launched."); //Debug Statement
			Door d = (Door) block.getState().getData();
			d.setOpen(true);
			getLogger().info("[OpenDoors] Door hopefuly opened..."); //Debug statement
			 if(d.isTopHalf())((Door)event.getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN, 1).getState().getData()).setOpen(true);
			 else ((Door)event.getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.UP, 1).getState().getData()).setOpen(true);
			event.getBlock().getState().update();
		}
		
	}

So the debugs are getting called, the door is not getting destroyed but the door still doesn't open :/ I know you cant open a door with block.setOpen(true), but i cant get the Door door = getBlock(); to work here...

@UnlikeAny

Thanks, that should work but I was talking about just .target() in general. That should automatically extend it cuz you do .target(Entity, Distance); And I assumed the 'Distance' would be saved.
