spawning a monster in a specific location

how do i do this?
i have world.spawnEntity(null, EntityType.ZOMBIE);
and i know that i cant put null in there but how would i put coordinates

 

nitrousspark

Code:

world.spawnEntity(new Location(world, x, y, z), EntityType.ZOMBIE);

I have this code

Code:

player.getWorld().spawnEntity(playerLocation, EntityType.VILLAGER);

Obviously 'playerLocation' is the player's location, but when I test it, all it does is spawn the Villager for less than a second and it'll disappear. Any ideas?

 

Try using spawnCreature()

 

Does anyone feel like supplying some code of how to detect what coords you enter for example /zombie x y z so that would do whatever coords you put in and spawn a zombie?

Thanks if you try

 

Kodfod spawnCreature() is deprecated and nothing more than a wrapper for spawnEntity()

LemonBro3 Maybe another plugin removes it instantly?

CarPet Pseudocode, yes:

Code:

on command do
    if the one executing the command is not a player
        exit
    if length of arguments is higher than 2 do
        try the following
            int x = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); //This is the only line of real Java code in that example!
            int y is the parsed arg 1
            int z is the parsed arg 2
        if we had a NumberFormatException while trying
            tell the player how to use the command
            exit
        World world is the world the player is in
        Location loc is a new location based on the world, x, y and z
        if the chunk at the location isn't loaded
            load the chunk at the location
        spawn a zombie at loc
    else
        tell the player how to use the command

 

Real code please I am noob in this area...

 

Here is what he told you to do. You can not copy and paste. =P






Fixed picture and code...

 

Kodfod But you mixed up Location loc and spawn. Also the if/else for chunk loading is a bit weird. I re-wrote that part (ignore the red underlining, lazy... ):

 

i just caught that while you posted that i fixed the picture above with fixed code =P

Edit: Yes i re-wrote the code and left out the if(cmd.getName()......) stuff but they can figure out to put that in the right spot

Edit 2: Nah Went back and helped them out with the pic being fixed

 

Kodfod Well, the if/else is still weird. It's basically duplicated code except for the chunk loading line. That's why my fix has only that part in the if.

 

kk will do it your way =P

Thanks for the help! Now I just have to find out which plugin is interfering.

 

I am noobing it up, how would you make it to where they can set how many they want to spawn and what mob?

 

For the amount, I don't know any actual code of doing this (since I'm new to scripting), but you can make a loop of the command for an argument which will be how many interval's it computes the command.

 

Code:java

 
int i = args[number];
int amount = 0;
while(amount < i){
//spawn creature;
amount++;
}

Should work

 

Sabersamus args[number] is a String, you can't cast a String to a int. This should work:

Code:java

try
{
    for(int i = 0; i < Integer.parseInt(args[number]); i++)
    {
        //spawn creature;
    }
}
catch(NumberFormatException e)
{
    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED+args[number]+" isn't a valid number");
}

 

Yeah I know that, I was just half asleep, sorry
