working on npc tanks for my addon

[pulsar lily]

M1 abrams firing at zombies

Quick question for anyone who has experience with entities, this tank often lags right before it shoots

Anyone know why it does that?

I have a mob that does that as well, might be cause of the size? Probably not as im just guessing, my mob is quite big

[empty stream]

sure u didnt add camera shake?

[empty stream]

size does not matter, its the amount of cubes being rendered

but if it only lags right before it shoots i dont think its an issue with your model itself more like the code which gets executed in that moment

[long heart]

I tested it recently with Titanfall Titans (2.5x5 blocks hitbox): Pathfinding of mobs with too big sized hitbox causes huge frame drops. This is also a problem Mojang mentioned in relation to the big sniffer.
If you look into vanilla Minecraft, all the big entites fly.
