Custom Entity

Hello. I'm making a command that spawns a custom entity. (Class code below)

Code:

package com.infinity.lobby.misc;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.World;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Entity;
import org.bukkit.entity.Guardian;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityDamageByEntityEvent;

public class CustomGuardian implements Listener, CommandExecutor{
   
   
    @EventHandler
    public void damageDetector(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e){
        Entity victim = e.getEntity();
        if(victim instanceof Guardian){
            e.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args) {
       
        if(!(sender instanceof Player)){
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.WHITE + "Unknown command. Type \"/help\" for help.");
            return true;
        }
       
        Player p = (Player) sender;
       
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("nguardian")){
            if(p.hasPermission("lobby.owner")){
                World world = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("world");
                Location ploc = p.getLocation();
               
               
               
               
            }else if(!p.hasPermission("lobby.owner")){
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.WHITE + "Unknown command. Type \"/help\" for help.");
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

}

It spawns at the players location, doesn't move, and has a custom name. I can do all of this (except maybe the no move thing, I was just thinking about giving it a slowness potion effect that the time and power is Integer.MAX_VALUE), if I can just put the entity spawned into a variable so that I can modify it's name etc. Thank you for your help!

@MCJoshua345 you can keep it as a class variable, I am a little confused, I don't get what the problem is.
Also to prevent it from moving,clear its pathfinder goals or at least the ones not needed such as the ones involved with movement.

 

@mine-care
I wanted to make a entity variable so I could modify some of it's minor properties.
So basically I should just make another class that extends EntityGuardian and define the properties needed? Sounds good, not going to mark it solved 'till it's achived, but thanks.

 

Entity e = world.spawnCreature(...);

 

@FisheyLP
Ha! I knew it was that, I just wasn't sure. Thank you so much!

 

You're welcome

 

@FisheyLP
Oh, also, does It (the entity) spawn automatically?

 

world.spawnCreature spawns the Entity and returns a Entity

 

@FisheyLP
I know that, but I mean when you make the variable, how do you spawn it? return (entity variable);? Just a guess.

 

The mehod already spawns the entity.
