Any such thing as skeleton.update()?

I figured the title is rhetorical. But is there something that can update a skeleton's equipment.

I used:

Code:

Skeleton skell = (Skeleton) player.getWorld().spawnEntity(player.getLocation(), EntityType.SKELETON);
((CraftEntity) skell).getHandle().setEquipment(0, CraftItemStack.asNMSCopy(new ItemStack(0)));

to set a skeleton's hand to be empty. It doesn't however spawn it as empty as it appears. But if I relog, it ".update()"'s it, and the skeleton appears without a bow. How do I have it to where when it spawns from my code, just doesn't need a relog to update it.

 

Make a scheduler for that entity.

 

@Agentleader1 Perhaps you should use the Bukkit API for this.

 

@Agentleader1 It's not a skeleton.update method. All information is sent to you upon joining, however no entity update packet was sent while you were online. You should probably use the Bukkit API instead of NMS.

 

@Zombie_Striker How specifically?


@Zombie_Striker @pie_flavor

Like use EntityEquipment instead? I tried that already.

@pie_flavor I know that. I'm not stupid.

 

Post code attempt

 

@teej107

Code:

EntityEquipment ee = skell.getEquipment();
ee.setItemInHand(new ItemStack(0));
ee.setArmorContents(player.getInventory().getArmorContents());

 

@Agentleader1
Tried ItemStack with Material.AIR ?

 

@Gater12 Are you sure that would make a difference?

 

@Agentleader1 Try setting it to null.

 

@Gater12 @Agentleader1 That will actually do nothing and generate a large error - you can't have an ItemStack with Material.AIR. Setting the item to null is correct.
Maybe use reflection to set the CraftEntityEquipment of the CraftLivingEntity.

 

@teej107 Never thought of that. @pie_flavor Thanks for the feedback on that. I'll try it out.

But to clarify, it does set the empty hand when the skeleton is spawned right? WITHOUT relog.
