#(wwwwhip) NPC stops navigating to target when no players around around/online.

Hi, I'm making a plugin which includes a dragon spawning every once in a while and dropping falling blocks. The navigation of it was already tricky to do as I had to enable its AI, make it a target entity and teleport it around. Now my issue is, when there are no players around the dragon either spawns and stays still (until someone comes close to it), or it doesn't spawn. I want it to actually follow its path as if players are there.

@mint crater probably need to increase the activation range / simulation distance

#

are you using API?

mint crater
#

Yeah I am, not sure if I put it in the right category. I'll try that now, thanks.

#

No that didn't work

robust flax
#

what did you change?

mint crater
#

I tried setting it to both the target (a player npc) and the dragon

robust flax
#

increase tracking range as well

mint crater
#

the dragon just despawns now

#

data.setPersistent(NPC.Metadata.TRACKING_RANGE, Integer.MAX_VALUE);

If you have a bug report or a feature request, please just make a forum post about it.

If this is pulled up for you by a helper, your ping was unneeded.
If you're arguing about it, you're wrong.

@mint crater if it's despawning, you need to make sure the chunk is loaded

@mint crater disable reply ping please

#

there's metadata to keep chunk load

mint crater
#

Actually I had the chunk load meta data on already

robust flax
#

ok, so why is the chunk unloading?

mint crater
#

For some reason even if the chunk is loaded the dragon won't pathfind

#

I'll just double check now again

robust flax
#

you need to do some basic debugging yourself, I don't have time to reproduce your plugin setup

#

try to narrow it down a bit more and be more specific please

mint crater
#

Got it working. This can be closed. Thanks
