[Help] Spawn player on dragon upon login.

Hello Bukkit community,

I have an idea for a plugin where a player is spawned on a dragon when they login and flown to the spawnpoint then the dragon despawns. Does anyone know the event I should call upon

Code:

PlayerLoginEvent(Player player) 

to get the player to spawn already on the dragon and fly on the defined path?

Thanks!

 

You need the first method in which the player is an actual entity. I would say PlayerJoinEvent possible but I'm not quite sure.

 

You should use this im not sure if its working with the dragon:

Code:java

 
@EventHandler
Public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e){
Player p = e.getPlayer();
LivingEntity dragon = (LivingEntity) p.getLocation().SpawnEntity(EntityType.ENDER_DRAGON);
dragon.setPassenger(p);
//now the player is riding the dragon
 
Location spawnLoc = new Location(p.getWorld, x, y, z);
Entity target = loc.spawnEntity(EntityType.WOLF);
 
//now let the dragon fly to the wolf at its location (at spawn)
dragon.setTarget(target);
 
//i think the dragon fly to the wolf but im not sure
 
 
}
 

You should too give the wolf a slowness and vanish effect. Then check if the enderdragon is near the wolf and remove booth entities

 

Ok, I've gotten to this point:

Code:java

package com.minecloud.dragonjoin;
 
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.entity.Entity;
import org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;
import org.bukkit.entity.LivingEntity;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
// FisheyLP helped with this code
public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
@EventHandler
public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e){
    Player p = e.getPlayer();
    LivingEntity dragon = (LivingEntity) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getLocation(), EntityType.ENDER_DRAGON);
    dragon.setPassenger(p);
    //now the player is riding tha dragon
    Location spawnLoc = new Location(p.getWorld(), 16, 28, 40);
    Entity target = spawnLoc.spawnEntity(EntityType.WOLF);
 
    //now the plugin lets the dragon fly to the wolf at its location (at spawn)
    dragon.setTarget(EntityType.WOLF);
 
    //it shuld work now idk
}
}
 

Eclipse is having trouble processing the

Code:java

Entity target = spawnLoc.spawnEntity(EntityType.WOLF);

and

Code:java

dragon.setTarget(EntityType.WOLF);

lines of code, as dragon.setTarget is not even a real Bukkit event.

Please help with these errors.

Did you try dragon.setTarget(target) and not dragon.setTarget(EntityType.WOLF) ?

 

TGRHavoc Yeah, I mean (I think) that could go anywhere, because I bet theres more than 1 wolf.

 

You need to register the events, make a new method like this:

Code:java

 
public void onEnable(){
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
}
 

And let your class implement Listener:

Code:java

 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 

The thing with the wolf:

Code:java

 
Entity target = (Entity) loc.spawnEntity(EntityType.WOLF);
 

try it out

 

Do what TGRHavoc said.
setTarget expects an Entity not an EntityType.

 

Still getting errors with setTarget.

 

it's spawnEntity() I think not SpawnEntity.

 

Pictures broke for me

 

Still bugged.

 

oh setTarget is broken i think but to get rid of the other errors make it like this:

Code:Java

 
@EventHandler
public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e){
Player p = e.getPlayer();
LivingEntity dragon = (LivingEntity) p.getLocation().getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getLocation(), EntityType.ENDER_DRAGON);
dragon.setPassenger(p);
 
//Put here your location in (x, y and z) ------->
Location loc = new Location(p.getWorld, 0, 0, 0);
Entity target = (Entity) loc.getWorld().spawnEntity(loc, EntityType.Wolf);
 
//This should work but it doesnt you must wait for a new craftbukkit:
//dragon.setTarget(target);
}

 

Do this p.getLocation().getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getLocation(), EntityType.ENDER_DRAGON);

 

New code:

dragon.setTarget is still broken, is there a replacement event for this?

 

Do the same thing to spawn the target as you did with the dragon.

 

I spawned the dragon and wolf, except now I need the dragon to lock onto the wolf and fly to its location.

 

Yeah but you are spawning the wolf wrong.

 

I can't spawn the wolf in the same location as the player, as I want the dragon to travel to the wolf's location (at spawn).

Don't spawn a wolf. Whoever told you that is not being very efficient.

Instead, when you spawn the dragon, add metadata to it.

(If the variable is dragon):

Code:java

dragon.setMetadata(p.getName(), new FixedMetadataValue(plugin, "DRAGON")); // p is your passenger, plugin is an instance of your main class, and dragon is the ender dragon.
 
 

First, to remove it, you have to loop through all the dragons in the world, and check if the dragon has a right metadata.

Code:java

// using same variables in above code
for (Dragon d : p.getWorld().getEntitiesByClass(EnderDragon.class)) {
    if (!d.hasMetadata(p.getName())
        continue;
 
    d.remove();
    break;
}
