Question on generating entities

[edonaldson]

I don't know if this is the best/right place to leave these kind of questions. If not, please direct me to the correct place, and I will glad ask them there.

I'm trying to generate entities to populate some structures that I am creating. I would like to do something like the following, but I cannot get it to work:

/js self.world.spawnEntity(self.location.clone().add(10,0,0),org.bukkit.EntityType.PIG)

As a simple example, I was hoping this would spawn a pig 10 blocks from me. But I get an error.

I solved myself using the following functions. Perhaps these can be added to the Drone:

//
// Location of Drone: drone.getLocation()
//
Drone.extend('getLocation', function() {
return org.bukkit.Location(this._getWorld(), this.x, this.y, this.z);
});
//
// SpawnEntity: drone.spawnEntity(Drone.EntityType.SPIDER)
//
Drone.EntityType = org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;
Drone.extend('spawnEntity', function(entity) {
this._getWorld().spawnEntity(this.getLocation(), entity);
});

to spawn a pig at the current location...
/js self.location.world.spawnEntity(self.location,org.bukkit.entity.EntityType.PIG);

... I'm not sure spawning entities should be part of the Drone module since that's all about building.

[edonaldson]

Agreed. Drone is about building. “self” refers to yourself, not the Drone, right?

Then I think getLocation would be good to add to the Drone, so you can spawn entities at the Drone’s location. Unless it’s already there, and I missed it.

Thanks for your help.
