help with custom mob behavior(solved)

i set up the base for the mob behavior (thanks for the tick trigger tip, didnt know that existed) but, despite saving the target position as a local variable, it navigates towards 0, 0, 0 instead of the target coordinates. heres the generated code from my current procedure, please let me know if i am doing something wrong

package net.mcreator.bluedwarf.procedures;

/* imports omitted */

@EventBusSubscriber

public class GlitchBehaviorProcedure {

    @SubscribeEvent

    public static void onEntityTick(EntityTickEvent.Pre event) {

        execute(event, event.getEntity().level(), event.getEntity().getX(), event.getEntity().getY(), event.getEntity().getZ(), event.getEntity());

    }



    public static void execute(LevelAccessor world, double x, double y, double z, Entity entity) {

        execute(null, world, x, y, z, entity);

    }



    private static void execute(@Nullable Event event, LevelAccessor world, double x, double y, double z, Entity entity) {

                if (!world.getEntitiesOfClass(Player.class, new AABB(Vec3.ZERO, Vec3.ZERO).move(new Vec3(x, y, z)).inflate(16 / 2d), e -> true).isEmpty()) {

                        entity.hurt(new DamageSource(world.holderOrThrow(DamageTypes.GENERIC_KILL)), 1);

i cant figure out the insert image via url, but i posted it on imgur

yes, but i dont know what null means. is that why the coordinates arent working? if so, what do i do about it?

it doesnt make sense why the values will return as 0, there is an if statement assuring that the data is valid and i also tried making the get radius larger than the if radius, and it still doesnt work. please tell me how to stop it from being null

i know it passes the procedure because if it didnt the entity wouldnt navigate at all, but it does, just not to where i want it to.

switched the variables to an nbt value and it worked! thanks for your help
