Solved Could not cast Slime to Creature

I need a Creature object to access the Creature.setTarget(LivingEntity) method.
How do I get it from a Slime object?

Here is what I have so far. The same problem occurs when using an Entity object.

Code:java

Creature creature = (Creature)Slime;

Code:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_7_R3.entity.CraftSlime cannot be cast to org.bukkit.entity.Creature

 

Joiner I'm guessing that'll be because CraftSlime isn't a Creature Have you tried looking at the methods (including inherited methods) that CraftSlime has available?

 

Joiner Please don't name your variables starting with capital letters, follow the java conventions.

 

AdamQpzm :O
Then how do I get access to the Creature.setTarget(LivingEntity) method for a slime?

aaomidi It is not a variable. I use to put the class name to represent a non-relevant variable when posting on the web.

aaomidi I cannot find any Slime.setTarget(LivingEntity) methods.

 

Joiner that should tell you enough about Slimes .

 

fireblast709 What? Please tell me.

 

Joiner that you can't set it's target (at least not through the API).

 

fireblast709 Ok. What does the Creature class represent?
It says: Creatures are non-intelligent monsters or animals which have very simple abilities.
Isn't slime a monster?

 

Joiner Looks at Slime's superinterfaces

 

Joiner If Slime doesn't extend / implement Creature then that's too bad, not much you can do about it. For all we know, this might be a huge bug, and at the same time it might be intended.

 

@AdamQpzm @aaomidi @fireblast709 @teej107 Ok.

 

@Joiner [NMS] You can try to make a class that extends EntitySlime and implements Creature

 

@Gingerbreadman The solution wouldn't be so simple, though. You could, but you'd still need to actually make the methods yourself.

 

@AdamQpzm Its a price to pay I guess

 

@Gingerbreadman @AdamQpzm Too hard.

 

@Joiner you could always check which PathfinderGoals Slimes have, and set the target yourself (requires some knowledge of nms, but you might avoid implementing stuff yourself)

 

@fireblast709 Too hard.
EntityTargetEvent.setTarget(Entity) seems easy, then why is it so hard out of that event?

 

@Joiner Maybe it's not in Slime's nature to have a target. Maybe it was a mistake.

 

@AdamQpzm Slimes attack players.

 

@Joiner I actually was working on an API (It works, I just didint release it), it lets you change the health, speed, damage per an attack and target

 

@Gingerbreadman Ok.
