Extending entity view and aggro range
Sat, 07/11/2020 - 22:19 (edited)

Hello there. In my mod, MineHanced 1.15.2, I am trying to add an entity, called the Sand Stormer, that spawns in groups of 1 - 4 very far away from the player, and walks toward them slowly. I have attempted to implement the "walking to you from a far distance away" feature and it seems that they only look at the player, not approach them. They only aggro onto me once I approach them. Is there something i'm missing? Workspace and screenshot of procedure are both included. Thank you for the assistance.

Edit: For what ever reason it seems I am not able to add screenshot of procedure and workspace.

entities usually have a 16 block follow range, so if you're outside that range, the pathfinding and targeting AI won't track you.

Thank you for replying, I appreciate the clarification. By chance would you know how to increase the range above 16 blocks, or is that impossible to do?

if your comfy with coding, then in your entity class, find the method registerAttributes(). add a line:

this.getAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.FOLLOW_RANGE).setBaseValue(40.0D);

where 40.0D is the distance in blocks you would like your entity to track.

Hey, I am using MCreator 2020.5 with the 1.12.2 addon. I was wondering why the build fails when I do this? Also, why does "follow distance" not do anything?

I found it, if anyone is interested you have to do this

1. find method private void setupAttributes()

2. into the method paste this next to the similar lines: ammma = ammma.createMutableAttribute(Attributes.FOLLOW_RANGE, 90.0D);

3. change 90,0D to range you like

4. you are done
