Warden keeps despawning

[elfin glacier]

I am trying to spawn a warden, which works, but it instantly despawns. Any reasons why?

(i am trying to spawn a protective warden that attacks the last hit entity)

What do you mean by despawn?

[elfin glacier]

it despawns

it digs itself into the ground

@chilly owl the code works with husks, but not wardens 😭

Probably because the warden brain isn't updated

@elfin glacier I got the warden to not despawn but it doesn't target the lastHit

[elfin glacier]

what does it target instead?

@elfin glacier fixed targeting lol

public TypedActionResult<ItemStack> use(World world, PlayerEntity user, Hand hand) {
        ItemStack stack = user.getStackInHand(hand);
        user.setCurrentHand(hand);
        if (world.isClient()) {
            return TypedActionResult.pass(stack);
        }
        this.player = user;
        WardenEntity protector = EntityType.WARDEN.create(world);
        if (lastHit == null || protector == null) {
            world.playSound(null, user.getX(), user.getY(), user.getZ(), SoundEvents.BLOCK_BEACON_DEACTIVATE, SoundCategory.PLAYERS, 1.0f, 1.0f);
            return TypedActionResult.fail(stack);
        }
        protector.refreshPositionAndAngles(user.getBlockPos(), user.getYaw(), user.getPitch());
        protector.setAiDisabled(false);
        protector.getBrain().remember(MemoryModuleType.DIG_COOLDOWN, Unit.INSTANCE, 1200L);
        world.spawnEntity(protector);
        protector.updateAttackTarget(this.lastHit);
        protector.increaseAngerAt(this.lastHit, Angriness.ANGRY.getThreshold() + 20, false);
        user.getItemCooldownManager().set(this, COOLDOWN_TICKS);
        world.playSound(null, user.getX(), user.getY(), user.getZ(), SoundEvents.BLOCK_BEACON_ACTIVATE, SoundCategory.PLAYERS, 1.0f, 1.0f);
        return TypedActionResult.success(user.getStackInHand(hand), true);
    }

However it doesn't work on other wardens

Warden works differently so try to do setTarget won't actually work

Why is why your previous method didn't work
Also you needed to make the warden remember its dig cooldown or it would start digging immediately

[elfin glacier]

that's okay

let me test it

works pretty well!!
