Teleporting Entities

I need help on finding a way to teleport an entity to a player that runs a command.

Code:

    public void testForEntity(Player player, String[] args) {
        Location loc = player.getLocation();
        World w = player.getWorld();
        if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("pig")) {
           
            hashmap.remove(player.getName());
            hashmap.put(player.getName(), true);
           
            w.spawnEntity(loc, EntityType.PIG);

            while (hashmap.get(player.getName()) == true) {
                loc = player.getLocation();
                //while the value is true in the hashmap, I need the entity teleporting to the player
            }           
        }
    

 

if you are trying to make it like a pet where it follows maybe try a repeating task to repeat the teleportation.

 

@TheoDoorHolder
Entity#teleport(location);

 

This is going to block the main thread. Look into scheduler programming.

If you're trying to make a pet plugin, don't constantly teleport the pet to the player, it's inefficient and annoying. Custom entities are the solution.

 

Okay thank you, I will work to fix that
