Custom Entity Attack range is too big

Nope, for me its still the mega hitbox. Putting procedures of attack below basic also causes the mobs to sometimes stop chasing for a moment.

After over a month and knowing more about the application stumbling upon this issue again, i figured out what caused it:

When setting entity model bounding box "Width/Depth, Height, Shadowside" changing With/Depth causes the hitbox to scale with it as well.

If you scale it to a value like 3, then the attack hit box will be way up front of the creature completely dis-attached from the model.

Is this fixable for a future update?

I used fn + f3 + B to enable the hitbox mode. What happens at a normal bounding box size is:

There's a distance between the player and the entity's attack box. This allows one to safely hit zombies without the zombies being able to hit back. However, when scaling the bounding box up (causing it to extend let's say 1 block forward, the attack box will extend even beyond that amount, causing the player to be unable to hit the entity.

The creature I have is about 3-4 blocks long, and the current bounding box doesn't even surpasses his head yet, yet the attack range has extended well beyond the actual create as a result of scaling this box.

The problem I think is that the attack box scales disproportionally to the scaling of the bounding box turning:

(Player has 0.5 blocks to safely hit the creature) to (Creature has 2 blocks before the Player can even attack back).

Thanks. Here is some video footage displaying the problem more clearly:

The animals are duplicates of each other. The only difference between the 2 are their bounding box settings. I made their name show their bounding box.

I tried some testing around:

In this image, the pink wool represents how far the animal an hit me from their cage. Animal with bounding box 3 hits 3 far. Bounding box 5 hits 5 far, bounding box 10 hits (10 far presumably but after the range gets too big the animal loses interest in attacking.)

Additionally, when you use "on player collision", it will get the bounding box correctly, even for the giant sizes Only when you're in the visible fn+f3+b box will this procedure be triggered.

So when it comes to the bounding box, its almost as if the entire bounding box inverts to where the creature is attacking/facing, making it not that noticable when the bounding box is 0.6, but if they have a bounding box of 10, they will also have a range of 10 (to each side?) as if surrounded by a bounding/attack box of 30 by 30 in length and width.

Even though On Player Collision always trigger instead of only when the entity is attacking you it appears, the the On Player Collision does work perfectly with any size of bounding box, so dealing damage to the player that way could perhaps work as a possible work around but I'll have to look at how exactly to do that.

So unlike as suggested in the post, it's not a problem with surpassing a specific value. The problem is that the attack range somehow manages to be exactly the width&length of the bounding box.

So it might somehow invert the bounding box for attacking towards the player or somewhere scaling it up by 3.

So weird xD

Possibly downscaling the bounding box (for attacking only) by boundingbox length/3 could solve this issue.

"Possibly downscaling the bounding box (for attacking only) by boundingbox length/3 could solve this issue."

EDIT: Or only downscaling it and then adding a new parameter "Attack range" that does length/3 + attack range. The typical attack range would be 0.6 as that is the standard value when creating the living entity mod element.
