Solved Spawning and killing mobs with a custom name

Hey guys, I was wondering how to spawn mobs with a custom name and then kill them and spawn it again but with a different name e.g. Spawning an Ender Dragon with the name ChatColor.AQUA + ChatColor.BOLD + "DRAGON NAME" and then kill it and spawn one with the name ChatColor.GREEN + ChatColor.BOLD + "DRAGON NAME" and then continue to spawn dragons and kill them going through the colours AQUA, GREEN, RED, GOLD and DARK_PURPLE. I've already got the scheduler ready but I don't know how to spawn mobs at a certain location

Code:java

    int task = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
 
        }
    }, 5L, 5L);

If you can help can you finish my code in the comments, thanks

 

KevyPorter I don't get what the second part your asking about.


Here is how to spawn with a custom name:

Code:java

LivingEntity entity = (LivingEntity) Bukkit.getWorld("world").spawnEntity(location, EntityType.SHEEP);
entity.setCustomName("name");
 
//Rememebr, for custom things, like a she eps dye color, you can use the actual object of an animal
//IE Sheep, etc
Sheep sheep = (Sheep) Bukkit.getWorld("world").spawnEntity(location, EntityType.SHEEP);
sheep.setCustomName("name");
sheep.setDyeColor(DyeColor.BLACK);
 

 

JPG2000 Thanks. The second part is killing that mob and spawning a new one with a different name

 

KevyPorter Use entity death event:

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onEntityDeath(EntityDeathEvent event) {
Entity entity = event.getEntity();
if (entity.getCustomName().equals("name") {
entity.getWorld().spawnEntity(entity.getLocation, entity.getType());
//... display name here
}
}

 

JPG2000 Thanks :3

JPG2000 but how do I put them in a scheduler would I remove the EventHandlet and just add them one after another

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

KevyPorter ?

Never remove the @EventHandler or else the event won't fire. If you want to spawn one with a delay, add in the code when nessicary.

 

Sorry, I've only been doing bukkit for a month and a half there's still some things it don't get. But anyways thankyou

 

KevyPorter Its all cool. Feel free to message me and I'll add you on skype so I can help

 

JPG2000 can I add you tomorrow :3 it's just I'm at my dad's house and he's internet isn't the best for Skype(I'm on my phone at the moment) and then I can share my screen with you and my headset is there as well so we can talk. But I can still give you my Skype

 

KevyPorter Sure.

Also how do I mark a thread as solved?

 

KevyPorter Click "edit thread" at the very top of the OP, then tag solved. And added

 

Marked as solved. I'll accept when I get home tomorrow :3 around 4ish

 

Store the mobs UUID somewhere, get the mob by it's UUID and kill it!
