Set a Displayname for a mob

Hey how can i set the Displayname of a mob which i choose in a command

final Player p = (Player) cs;
if(label.equalsIgnoreCase("mob")) {
if(args.length != 2) {
p.sendMessage("§cusage: /mob <mob> <name>");
}
if(args.length == 2) {
Location loc = p.getLocation();
Entity ent = p.getWorld().spawnEntity(loc, EntityType.valueOf(args[0])) {

}
}
}

thats my code but i don't know how i can use my args in the CreatureSpawnEvent

 

Wait, are you having trouble by setting the mobs name, or with the commands stuff?

 

Setting the Mobs name

 

mob.setDisplayName("")

 

CorePvP Um:

Code:java

Sheep s = (Sheep) Bukkit.getWorld("world").spawnEntity(player.getLocation(), EntityType.SHEEP);
 
s.setDisplayName("CUSTOM NAME");

Just change 'Sheep' and the casting when ever you want a different mob.

you must define that the custom name should be visible to players.

Code:java

 public void spawnGolem(Player player) {
CraftGolem golem = (CraftGolem) player.getLocation().getWorld()
.spawn(player.getLocation(), Golem.class);
 
golem.setCustomName(ChatColor.GREEN + "Iron Golem");
golem.setCustomNameVisible(true);

that is an easy way to do it.

to spawn the mob:

Code:java

 public boolean onCommand17(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label,
String[] a) {
if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("golem")) {
Player player = (Player) sender;
spawnGolem(player);
}
return false;

if you want me to, i can paste all of my code from the beginning.

 

HyVe No you don't. If you don't make it visible, you can see if if hover over the entity. (By hover I mean mouse over it)

 

the code i provided lets the mob have a nametag just like a player all the time.

if that was your question.

HyVe No. You said:

Which is incorrect. What that says is the custom name tag won't be visible to players unless you do the code your way, which is wrong. I know what you men't, but they way you wrote it...

 

JPG2000 well than i am very sry. hope you forgive

but anyways, i am going to leave this thread alone now, have a good day and i hope that i have been to help.

HyVe I wasn't angry, I just thought you gave the wrong information
