Entity Brain

The Entity Brain is how you can access all of the entity's functionality, from Entity AI to Entity Navigation systems. This will show the primary methods used in the Entity Brain.

Entity Restriction

A "Restriction Area" is a polar or circular region of area that entities must stay inside.

Fetch Entity Restriction

Fetch existing Restriction Metadata.

import me.gamercoder215.mobchip.EntityBrain;
import me.gamercoder215.mobchip.bukkit.BukkitBrain;

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
  
    public static void getRestriction(Mob m) {
        EntityBrain brain = BukkitBrain.getBrain(m);
   
        // Fetches the center of the restriction area
        Location center = brain.getRestrictionArea();

        // Fetches the radius of the circular area for the restriction
        int radius = brain.getRestrictionRadius();     

        // Whether a restriction center and radius was set
        if (brain.hasRestriction()) {
            // Whether the entity is in the restriction area
            if (brain.isInRestriction()) {
                System.out.println("Mob has escaped!");
            }
        }
    }
}

Modify Entity Restriction

How to modify or override an entity's current restriction metadata.

import me.gamercoder215.mobchip.EntityBrain;
import me.gamercoder215.mobchip.bukkit.BukkitBrain;

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
  
    public static void setRestriction(Mob m, Location center) {
        EntityBrain brain = BukkitBrain.getBrain(m);

        // Sets the restriction area with a radius of 5, making the total area roughly 25π in area
        brain.setRestrictionArea(center, 5);
    }

    public static void clearRestriction(Mob m) {
        EntityBrain brain = BukkitBrain.getBrain(m);

        // Clears all current restriction metadata
        brain.clearRestrictionArea();
    }

}
