Create npc

hello,
How to create a simple npc that does not move?
How to detect it at EntityDamageEvent ?
thank you in advance

 

An human or an entity?

 

human

 

AddPlayerPacket to create him then on DataPacketReceiveEvent check if he's hurting him

 

Please don't forget to add a correct skin to the entity

Or you will end up like @Kyd

No. Don't use DataPacketReceiveEvent. If you can use a PocketMine event, use a PocketMine event. Simply use EntityDamageByEntityEvent. DataPacketReceiveEvent is very aggressive, and you should only use it if you can't do what you want to do without it.

 

Another alternative would be to use the search bar.

 

Yeah, it's getting called whenever a packet is received but think about how many other API and event calls you'll be saving by intercepting the packet. When you think about it logically, you'll actually be saving CPU time by handling it yourself (assuming you don't call more functions or events than PocketMine would). PocketMine performs a switch on every packet a player sends anyway so I don't see how another, earlier switch could cause your server too much harm performance wise.

 

And EntityDamageByEntityEvent doesn't detect it (i'm not sure)

 

Of course it does. If you hit it you hit an entity, and you are a player => entity which means damage by entity which means EntityDamageByEntityEvent. See Slapper as an example.

 

PHP:

    public function onClick(\pocketmine\event\entity\EntityDamageEvent $e) {
        if($e instanceof \pocketmine\event\entity\EntityDamageByEntityEvent) {
            $p = $e->getDamager();
            $entity = $e->getEntity();
            if($entity instanceof Player && $p instanceof Player) {
            }
            if($entity instanceof Human) {
                $e->setCancelled();

                if($entity->getNameTag() === "yournametag") {
                    $this->getServer()->dispatchCommand($p, "yourcommand");
                 }    
               }
             }
           }

Yes you can use with EntityDamageByEntityEvent example for you .

 

I don't need your help xd, i already find how to do this since a long time..

 

Yeah true but I don't use this code

 

This is my code, and apparently @Marabou don't know how to handle it xd

PHP:

public function onPacketReceived(DataPacketReceiveEvent $event){
        $pk = $event->getPacket();
        $player = $event->getPlayer();
        if($pk instanceof InteractPacket and $pk->action === InteractPacket::ACTION_LEFT_CLICK){
            if($pk->target == $IdOfMyNPC){
                //code to execute
            }
        }
    }
