Solved Making a player an IronGolem without utilizing Packets?

blablubbabc If you give the Golem slowness then the looking around randomly is fixed.

blablubbabc Please take a look at my code. I may have a mistake which may be causing the timeOuts:

Code:java

I believe that the PlayerMoveEvent is the culprit. Try removing it and see if the lag persists..

 

TGRHavoc It happens when I summon the Golem too however... I get the server overloaded there also...

Maybe this is a bit too late, but if u still want to use an easy Disguise Library.

http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/libs-disguises/ #Supports nametags.

Code:java

MobDisguise zombie = new MobDisguise(me.libraryaddict.disguise.disguisetypes.DisguiseType.ZOMBIE);
        LivingWatcher watcher = (LivingWatcher) zombie.getWatcher();
        watcher.setCustomName(player.getName());
        watcher.setCustomNameVisible(true);
        DisguiseAPI.disguiseToAll(player, zombie);

 

iZanax If only you had came 50 hours earlier xD Thank you so much! I will try this right now! Does this also get recognized in events?

 

MayoDwarf

Yes it even show the damage red-flash effect which Diguisecraft didn't had ^^
But I have to point out that every Diguise library has some flaws, like sometimes movement looks a bit sketchy.
Goodluck ^^

I found out where the timeouts were coming from, I think: the issue is somehow related to the very high amplifier of the slowness potion effect you assign to the golem.

 

blablubbabc Well how would I fix this budd?

 

MayoDwarf
By using a lower amplifier for the potion effect.
Using some disguise plugin is probably the easiest way to not having to care about all these other things around..

On a side note: the attack timeout of the iron golem seems to get reset whenever he is teleported. Means: his attacks are in high speed

 

blablubbabc
I know this is off topic but:
You could probably make an IronGolem trampoline with that...

 

blablubbabc Apparently that wasn't the issue either... It happens when it falls from the sky too...Can you test this for me and see if you get different results please?

 

MayoDwarf
Well, during my last test I had the potion effect completly removed. If the randomly-looking-around is a big issue you could of course also remove the entity goals via reflection or nms dependency.

It's already quite late here.. so I hope you can figure this out yourself or with the help of others.

I would probably do some tests with the disguise lib: if it works out of the box without all those issues related to the golem being a real entity then I would probably use that instead..

 

There was a way to actually do this without packets, but it's a whole convoluted method involving abusing the entity ID. This only worked for a short period of time and in a fairly old edition of MC, and often resulted in client crashes.
