Code question

so i was looking into the galacticraft creeper boss code trying to figure out any way to damage it other than returning the tnt it shoots at u and i found this

Code:

	@Override
	public boolean attackEntityFrom(DamageSource damageSource, float damage)
	{
		if (damageSource.getDamageType().equals("fireball"))
		{
			if (this.isEntityInvulnerable())
			{
				return false;
			}
			else if (super.attackEntityFrom(damageSource, damage))
			{
				Entity entity = damageSource.getEntity();

				if (this.riddenByEntity != entity && this.ridingEntity != entity)
				{
					if (entity != this)
					{
						this.entityToAttack = entity;
					}

					return true;
				}
				else
				{
					return true;
				}
			}
			else
			{
				return false;
			}
		}

		return false;
	}

does this mean i can damage it with fireballs?

 

Yes, fireballs deal damage to the guy apparently

 

im still trying to figure this part out

Code:

if (this.riddenByEntity != entity && this.ridingEntity != entity)
				{
					if (entity != this)
					{
						this.entityToAttack = entity;
					}

					return true;

returning true makes him invunerable but it seems to be confusing

 

there's static entity instantiated somewhere else, and it appears to be multiple mobs to make it, maybe that's why?

 

incorrect;

Code:

Entity entity = damageSource.getEntity();

The one who does the damage unto the creeper.

Essentially, as far as I can see, if you are riding him, he will not aggro on you, even if hit (by you at least)

 

I never saw the source code, so i could only guess but i was correct that it's instansiated somewhere else, but yhea that's right if you're looking at the source

 

hmm ok also found this list of slimelings foods
gold ingot
flint and steel
baked potato
stone sword
gunpowder
door
emeralds
cookedfish
repeater
boat

 

?? what?

btw:

Returning true in an attackEntityFrom method merely allows him to be hurt. You thought it is the other way around. Returning false means he is not hurt.

 

i was talking about isentityinvunerable method returning false

the reason i was asking is i was trying to kill the boss on ozone (before the restart and crash)
and the tnt attack ur suppost to hit back at him is disapearing. like desync it looks like i hit it it goes flying twords the creeper then reverses and exploads

 

Ah, though you also got that wrong
It checks if he is already invulnerable, if so, any damage is negated. You need to find where that bool is set to true first, to find out how he becomes invulnerable.

 

this.targetTasks.addTask(1, new EntityAIHurtByTarget(this, false));
this.targetTasks.addTask(2, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this, EntityPlayer.class, 0, true));
so that makes him invunerable i guess

Ozone is up but no one can join so i cant test

 

Fire balls hurt as well as the boss is actually 4 entities the 3 heads and the legs. Prettmuch any weapon that has a effect like tnt should hurt him.
