Configurable entity path finding Minecraft 1.8

[@theqmagnet]

Very very good addition for adventure maps. I see a proper Minecraft stealth map able to be made now.

[@MClabs15]

Wow, I can't believe I didn't think of using it for this... Nice work! :D

[@jkctech]

So you use @e, that means it would also work on dropped items! that makes them real conveyor belts!!!

[@manjunathnagaraj6669]

Yup

[@ivain8704]

At last! Ive been waiting so long for this!

[@marcelbechler]

I LOVE this Concept !!!

you uploaded this on the perfect day! i was literally trying to figure this out, and here is my answer! THANKS!

[@NOPEnameMC]

Wow, this is extremly useful for adventure maps! :D

[@jonaskohl13]

Yes it is :)

[@NOPEnameMC]

***** hi :3

[@Alltagsabenteuer]

So cool! I guess this is how the Noxcrew animated Dr. Barney at the end of the Terra Swoop Force map.

[@dashiefiles]

+Alltagsabenteuer yeah i guess they probably detetced the armorstand

[@combattiger90]

+Alltagsabendteuer Noxcrew made a video explaining it :D It works with tags and is a little bit Mord complicated.... :D

[@Hackfruchtsalat]

I changed the -1 after detect to -50, so it searches for the stairs 50 blocks below ( more hidden ) but it doesn't work. What's the mistake I've done?

[@Sam-fm3hu]

It needs to be ~-50 with the tilda

[@zayyanabbas4958]

***** ~~GRAMMAR NAZI ALERT!~~ Pretty sure it's spelled tilde..

[@xxjonanzaxxvids1952]

Wow, great job on this. I realy needed this for my map! I will send it to you once its finished

[@PrudiiGaming]

I'm currently in the process of building a custom castle. What I'm wanting to do, is spawn an Ender Dragon who then follows a specific path. The path in question, I want to change periodically, and automatically. Basically, I want to have the dragon swoop down, while picking up speed from a dive, level out, and fly back up. I also want to have different "tracks" that it takes so it doesn't appear to be moving along a set path, and appears to have natural flight patterns.

[@DreadEthos616]

This is perfect for Tower Defense maps! Best of all, it is compatible with Minecraft Bedrock Edition, since it only uses the teleport command

[@AtricosHU]

One step closer the creating a MOBA game in Minecraft! We just need something that makes two similar mobs attack eachother. :)

[@Gabriel-jx4or]

SethBling did that. (at least a proof of concept)

[@Frank-hw3fd]

Idk if you will ever read this, but you can using UUIDLeast and UUIDMost

[@specialbuilder6865]

Just something noted, if you wanted to hide the stairs under another block, like dragnoz did in the video, you have you take the command and move the block its detecting one block down. Changing it to -2 would work for one block under the surface, or more for further.

[@Teammaddiz]

This would be cool for a traffic mini game, you know, were you can't let any of the cars (villager or any other mob) to crash!

[@dragnoz]

:D indeed!!

[@jurassicjaw]

+Dragnoz its not working for me and in in 1.8.9

[@FufsowyFufs]

+Vanja Armbruster for me IT said can't detect as Sheep

[@Masterfloc]

Probably a bit late to the party, but I just found out why this isn't working for some peeps with more recent versions. The ID of the stone_stairs is wrong, it needs to be minecraft:stone_stairs. Also had to set the detect to -2 vertically, works like a charm !

[@Holobrine]

You could use different types of stairs for different entities, for example, a zombie follows wooden stairs and a skeleton follows stone stairs. The best use for this would be for a villager to say "follow me" and then you follow him into the next room. You can also place stairs so it looks like there is a pillar in the middle. Placing a mob on this formation would cause them to walk in circles. Placing 2 mobs would cause them to walk in circles opposite each other and look like they have hooked arms.

[@JuuuuF]

Using multiple stairs on top of each other you could also make the mob walk angular paths. That's amazing! :D

[@PlayingCreeper]

Hey Guys, I have modified the code for 1.15.+: /execute as @e[type=minecraft:villager] at @s if block ~ ~-3 ~ minecraft:purpur_stairs[facing=north] run teleport @s ~ ~ ~-0.2 180 ~ /execute as @e[type=minecraft:villager] at @s if block ~ ~-2 ~ minecraft:purpur_stairs[facing=east] run teleport @s ~0.2 ~ ~ 270 ~ /execute as @e[type=minecraft:villager] at @s if block ~ ~-3 ~ minecraft:purpur_stairs[facing=south] run teleport @s ~ ~ ~0.2 360 ~ /execute as @e[type=minecraft:villager] at @s if block ~ ~-2 ~ minecraft:purpur_stairs[facing=west] run teleport @s ~-0.2 ~ ~ 90 ~ Jumping and falling would be the same just with different blocks more underneath, and coordinates going up or down. Anyway I found out that it`s not working that good as it has in 1.8, but when you let the curves overlap in two layers (2 and 3 blocks underneath) you can prevent the entity from being too far away from the center of the block, also it is helpfull to spawn them on a straight stair tile otherwise it would again tend to not being centered after some time (using blocks with tinier hitboxes has not fixed the problem so I think this is the best way to go) good luck with your projects tho ;)

[@AdamLewisTheGuyFromSchool]

THIS VIDEO CHANGED HOW I SEE MOVEMENT IN MINECRAFT. ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO I FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE /EXECUTE ,TODAY I FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE CUSTOM MOBS SPAWN RANDOMLY AND NOW I KNOW HOT TO DO ENTITY PATHFINDING. THANK YOU DRAGNOZ

[@AbrahamMorales]

Wow this is awesome for map making!! I have a question, can you make a way to put a bunch of maps in a wall ( a big map of a zone) and then click an área to be teleported?

[@laff7022]

Yes, you can check to see if the item frame's rotation value has changed. If it has then you can teleport the nearest player to a location.

[@MClabs15]

That would be easy ;)

[@kabobawsome]

Laff70 Or if you want left click, check if it's still there.

[@shanewolf38]

If you want the player to be teleported without rotating the map, I would suggest putting block 36 (piston_extension) in front of all the maps. Then, if you want to keep the command blocks in a small number, I would suggesting having a testfor for the entire area, and then, when one of the blocks is gone (when it's right-clicked), the nearest player with a certain rotation value (when the player is looking at a specific area of the map) is teleported to a location.

[@AbrahamMorales]

thank you all¡¡ , I think that now can make it with your ideas¡

[@darkflames6696]

Looks at the three command blocks: Wow this command is kinda easy! Onky 3 command blocks! Dragnoz looks around-Oh god

[@meltroxgeolix5675]

This is so good for map making. Just wow. I needed this a long time ago.

[@GreenSlime55]

Dragnoz, can you make a video showing how to get the "command book"?

[@AZZAMNO1]

does it work with other entity?? painting/tnt/itemframe/item and enderCrystal?

[@jamjamnewbie]

cool! nice for rpg-themed maps with patrolling enemies :D

This is absolutely amazing! And I haven't even seen the video yet :D

[@rtbbubbles714]

The way the villager was running reminded me of a running trainer from pokemon.

[@trexman_]

really cool dragnoz! I have a question can u tell me how to make that book and quill with the commands in it that u can click on? If u could tell me that would help alot!

[@liamrimbach4290]

Hello DragonZ I have a question, when I look at your creations you have a redstone block touching the command blocks, now I don't think it's a fill clock and redstone blocks do not have a repeating flow of energy how do you do this?

[@dot0190]

Sir Liam /setblock ~ ~ ~ redstone_block 0 destroy Sets the block constantly.

[@CMDrRedstone]

Dotz /setblock ~ ~ ~1 redstone_block 0 destroy. or else it won't work.

[@175cm52kg]

Thanks Dragnoz, Im making soon a Strategy Mini Game and I was thinking place a invisible villager but now with this technique is a lot simplier :3

[@mcgelloe]

This would also be a nice transportation system concept for players!

[@polarisraven5613]

Wait, how do you configure a book with commands? Mind making a video about that (if you haven't already)?

[@pietrolinguini575]

Do j know how to make path finding without using detect like custom AI?

[@nouletje]

could you implement something like a comparison to routers so you have a more flexible way to replace entity's in adventure maps?

[@johnpoulos3428]

Dragnoz, how do you use your book to do commands and how do you place the stairs in specific directions?

[@PhycoSerpentStudios]

Dragnoz do you think you could somehow make an armor stand a guard mob that kills zombies and stuff

[@kneeman9011]

Woah. This is really cool :D

[@cristicumnva4704]

[17:49:04] Failed to execute 'detect' as Villager why :( pls :(

[@specialbuilder6865]

Take the "detect ~ ~-1 ~" and change it to a "~ ~-2 ~ " if you have the stairs under another block that the villager (or mob) would walk on

[@leviticusdragon2580]

For a sec you made me think the vid was 17 hrs long

[@DudawarEcomandos]

Love the concept super inteligent and the most important very simple and clear to understand

[@EEBoyss]

How did you make the book that summoned the villager?

[@Thedarkassassin88]

I hope at some point Mojang make an update dedicated to making maps easier. Improved commands, easy custom mobs etc.

[@krozzle556]

dragnoz, can you explain how did the fill clock work? i tried that but sometimes work,sometime doesn't work..how you make that command always work?

[@dropfx7290]

nice work dude this will really help me with making my adventure map

[@toninhoventura5561]

The tp command just moves the head of the mob, how can I make so that it turns ALL the mob around? (for a zombie, for example).

[@MineDaft]

This is awesome! :D

[@mikemy100]

Dragnoz I know you explained it but I don't know much about commands and stuff how do I make it so it only makes villagers go forwards or the stairs?

[@uGotCAGED]

Wow dude ur awesome!:D

[@Robolawrence]

I wanna do something like this with armor stands - being able to make them walk or "march" as fast or as slow as I wanted and wherever I wanted them to go.

[@Mason-gf2jl]

Looks like the beginnings of a plausible vanilla DOTA-style map if you add in the Tesla Towers

[@XisleClown]

Can you make it apply for a specific entity only. like if you were to name a horse Frank would it make it so it only applies to that horse?

[@Almost8bitGaming]

You could use this for "Villager Racing" potentially. Just saying.

[@kristupas8287]

Wont be fun because everyone runs at the same speed

[@thomasmizrahi]

Can you do a tutorial orcsomething to help us make custom books (cuz now you can use them to run commands like you do)?

[@scottbw123]

How do you make the book with the tellraw command already in the book. I cant find out how to do it.

[@axltrain838]

/go to the tellraw generator website and click on Book (1.8). Then go on from there

[@kylethescientist]

Minecraft Axltrain YOU ARE MY HERO

[@GreedyTet]

dragy i know this is an old video but is it possible to make the mobs align to the blocks, becasue when they turn corners they go inside the blocks and die/get hurt

[@Destian_1]

Best. Thing. Ever. By the way: I could imagine a Pacman like minigame with this...

[@ArthurAtlas]

That would actually be pretty easy this way...

[@SirDarkey]

read his description

[@Destian_1]

***** I know that he already made a game called 'Packman' but it could be done so much easier now: -Player isn´t Pacman -Player controlls a mob with the help of clickable signs* -These signs* change the path of the entity like -Dragnoz did it with the book in this video *just as example. You could also use a book but with edited and transparent texture

[@qxeerghost4680]

The mob keeps moving off of the path I tryed Terible Tubers fix but it didn't work for me. Please help!

[@harabisj]

How do you make that down line which showns parts?

[@marklisoway1040]

When I use that command I get an error saying "Failed to execute 'detect' as Villager"

[@mazzoni23]

DRAGNOZ CAN U MAKE A TUTORIAL OF HOW TO CUSTOMIZE BOOKS???

[@notpuppers24]

I did this w/o detect. But this is better. I used /execute @e[name=Miner] with /testforblock to test for redstone path. Villager would break wire and be teleported to area with redstone wire. Also, what would happen with a decision with a split path of same color?

[@oatmealduck7937]

How am I supposed to make it move in different directions without stairs under it

[@SwiftShot01]

Is there a way to make it teleport any specific entity but ignore another i.e. teleport a Slime but not a Player

[@nnanob3694]

Dragnoz Can you make a tutorial for clickable chat text, signs and that awesome book?

[@antranhuu8733]

Cool :D I use it for my city. Also add car can more around. It too old but it still work in 1.9.

[@EnderDDark]

Cool! But plz Dragnoz could you do a tutorial about how to add a ClickEvent in a written book?

[@Werewolf914]

*cough* Tower Defense Games *cough*

[@sonicthehedgehog0100]

Holy crap!! That is insane.

[@areadenial2343]

Try changing the Motion tags of entities instead of teleporting them. That way entities will move more smoothly and jump over gaps without taking fall damage. I'm going to try this in my own world and see how it goes. I'll try to keep you posted!

[@Golgot100]

Woo! Great stuff :)

[@EnderFoxGaMiNgs]

[@amichal002]

Hi there, I was trying to setup a tellraw command and ive encountered a certain problem. So far ive come up with this: tellraw @a{text:"Click it!",color:"green",clickEvent:{action:run_command,value:"/execute @p[score_test_min=1]~ ~ ~ give @p minecraft:diamond_sword 1 0 {display:{Name:Expe}}"}} This command works, it writes "Click it" in green color and when i click it it gives a player with minimal test score 1 diamond sword that is named "Expe" However, when i try to edit the name or add lore, it fails. It only works if the Name is consisted of 1-4 letters, when i write more, for example "Exper", it gives an error that says: Data tag parsing failed: Unbalanced brackets: {display:{Name:Exper} Failed to execute 'give @p minecraft:diamond_sword 1 0 {display:{Name:Exper} as amichal002 so command like this doesnt work: tellraw @a{text:"Click it!",color:"green",clickEvent:{action:run_command,value:"/execute @p[score_test_min=1]~ ~ ~ give @p minecraft:diamond_sword 1 0 {display:{Name:Exper}}"}} I know in the error, there are unbalanced brackets but in the commands it is right. As far as i know, there isnt any command clock character limit so i cant figure out whats wrong. Thank you for help.

[@wolfert66]

I have a question, when a entity moves around a corner it is at the egde of the block, is there any may of making it so it is in the middle of the block when it moves?

[@Monstermoerder1]

there is. add another stair underneath the corner stair facing the original walking direction (make sure to add the commands to test for those, too). This way, if they start out in the middle of the block, they will stay on the middle (not so much at the corners, but pretty much everywhere else) Important to note here: use /tp and not Motion[ ], since the tp commands can stack whil the motion ones override each other.
