Solved Cast Entity to LivingEntity

Hi everybody !

I just have a little problem. Bukkit has change the method for spawning mob from spawnCreature to spawnEntity. The disadvantage is the spawnCreature method returned a LivingEntity and the new spawnEntity method returns a Entity. In my plugin. I need to get a LivingEntity to set the equipment of the spawned mob and potion effect. So here's is my question, how can i get a LivingEntity from an Entity ?

I've tried to cast it, but my server returns that the Entity can not be cast to a LivingEntity

Thanks !

 

if(entity instanceof LivingEntity) {
LivingEntity living = (LivingEntity) entity;
}
Has to work.

 

So, if it should work, why i have this:

Code:

org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_4_6.entity.CraftWitherSkull cannot be cast to org.bukkit.entity.LivingEntity

With this lines:

PHP:

LivingEntity ent = (LivingEntity) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getTargetBlock(null, 1000).getLocation(), EntityType.WITHER_SKULL);

 

Because your getting a block, not an entity.

Sorry miss read the code - Have you tried just making it an entity?

 

I don't think that a wither skull is a living entity.

 

^ That.

 

Thanks !

So i can't set an equipment and the max health of a wither skull ?

 

no, as projectiles don't have health and equipment ;3

 

You seem to be confusing the different types of entities involved here.

A CraftWitherSkull is the actual Wither Skull item, the one that you can hold in your inventory and place on the ground.

A Wither_Skull is the projectile that Withers shoot from their heads. It is its own entity, separate from Wither entities. It is not a living entity, it's a flaming ball of power that wants to destroy you.

A Wither, just "Wither" alone, is the Wither mob. It is a living entity.

 

dude, i thought that the wither skull was the wither skeleton (I'm French !). You just save me ! Thaaaannks !

 

Nooo, I have the same type of problem only then with a creeper.setPowered(true);

Code:

                    if(entity instanceof Creeper){
                        getLogger().info("4");
                        LivingEntity creeper = (LivingEntity)entity;
                        creeper.setPowered(true);
                    }

error:
The method setPowered(boolean) is undefined for the type LivingEntity

 

Why don't you cast it to creeper then ?

 

O sorry, I forgot to mention. I want a creeper to get changed when an enderman hits the player, and I allready got that working, it really is just the creeper.setPowered(true); that doesn't work

 

How do i do it for a zombie?

Code:java

EntityEquipment invent = ((LivingEntity)TankZombie).getEquipment();

Im getting TankZombie cannot be cast to org.bukkit.LivingEntity
I tried

Code:java

EntityEquipment invent = ((LivingEntity) (Entity)TankZombie).getEquipment();

And i got TankZombie cannot be cast to org.bukkit.Entity
