Trying to make Iron Golems reselect targets so they don't overwhelmed by hordes

[calm flame]

I'm currently reworking the iron golem but I don't know which components is causing iron golems to force golems to walk towards monsters they knock into the backline. I'm as stuck as this golem trying to get past this horde... Help!!

[idle kraken]

add "reselect_targets": true, to the minecraft:behavior.nearest_attackable_target component

[calm flame]

ooh i'm gonna try

[sonic mango]

post an after video please, I just wanna see an efficent golem

[calm flame]

this SHOULD be it

[calm flame]

oh yeah what's that scan_interval thing?

[idle kraken]

no clue, you'll have to find out yourself

[calm flame]

i googled it

i just need to also add that too and...

i guess i can put in a number

an interval of how many ticks until the golem reselects a target

okay

nope... still doesn't work

the golem still gets swarmed

i'm starting to hate how they're so easily pushed too

i wonder if i can at least disable being pushed by other entities

[idle kraken]

you could make an aoe attack that pushes all other mobs away from the golem when it swings

it would be pretty easy with scripting, but it would be a bit of a weird workaround

[echo ledge]

thats useless

remove it lol

basically its like a cool down

[echo ledge]

only possible if the entity doesn't have a hitbox.

[calm flame]

oh okay

i'm sure there's another way

[echo ledge]

there is.

[calm flame]

oh do tell!

[echo ledge]

minecraft:pushable

[calm flame]

ohh...

okay! so i just add that in and set it to false

[echo ledge]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_pushable?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

yeah

you can make the iron golem pushable by pistons, or not.

its up to you

also

pushable by other mobs.

[calm flame]

oh yay!

now they're really gonna be juggernauts

[echo ledge]

i think you should make the swing attack have a knockback effect

[calm flame]

still gotta work out the target reselection

[calm flame]

hm?

[echo ledge]

like ravagers.

when you blocked them with a shield

they do a roar that knocks you back.

[calm flame]

oh yeah they do that!

i could make them do that too??

[echo ledge]

maybe.

[calm flame]

oh my god that is amazing!

[calm flame]

right right, temper my expectations

[echo ledge]

yea

[calm flame]

how would i make it work tho

[echo ledge]

idk

[calm flame]

golem just does it randomly?

[echo ledge]

maybe using an event

[echo ledge]

no.

only when it suceeds to do its swinging attack.

[calm flame]

ohh yeah like an event timer

[calm flame]

that... yes

[echo ledge]

sure

[calm flame]

thank you for the ideas and workarounds

i got something to do when i get home

[echo ledge]

hey

i just made it

i mean my own rendition

wanna see?

lol

i didn't used scripts to do this btw

[calm flame]

OH MY GOD THEY'RE JUST SENT FLYING

i love it!

[echo ledge]

yeah lol

[calm flame]

is the blast configurable?

[echo ledge]

yup

[calm flame]

like the knockback power

sweet

[echo ledge]

i used an invisible entity with the knockback roar

lol

wait let me send the jsons if u wanna test em.

[calm flame]

yes please

[calm flame]

is it always present?

[echo ledge]

here

[calm flame]

thanks!

[echo ledge]

wdym

[calm flame]

the invisible entity

or does it get summoned to perform the action then despawns after?

[echo ledge]

oh and also, put this in the folder named "particles" in your addon's resource pack.

it hides the particles of the knockback.

[echo ledge]

yes

[echo ledge]

oh well no.

it only spawns when the golem attacks.

it despawns right after

[calm flame]

good to know!

will nothing funky happen if several iron golems are fighting?

[echo ledge]

nop

[calm flame]

alr

[echo ledge]

i made them immune to the blast.

lol

other mobs aren't

including players

[calm flame]

oh so we get pummeled into the air too

[echo ledge]

yup

hehe

[calm flame]

that's hilarious. i'm keeping it

[echo ledge]

you get knocked into the air and then get knocked backwards

haha

i only made the damage deal up to 10 hearts.

[calm flame]

i don't need the roar to do any crazy damage

[echo ledge]

yeah exactly

[calm flame]

something like 1-3 is fine

[echo ledge]

well since its configurable you can reduce the number.

[calm flame]

could i configure how often the roar occurs each hit?

like, say, a 33% chance it's performed

[echo ledge]

maybe idk

[calm flame]

i assume i have to put the invisible entity into the same entity folder as with the iron golem

[echo ledge]

yup

in the BP folder.

[calm flame]

thank you thank you

[calm flame]

im not sure what i did wrong... golem's barely attacking

like it wants to be REALLY close to the zombie it's targetting, this is nuts

[echo ledge]

wtf did you add

💀

[calm flame]

i dont know

i just replaced minecraft:melee_attack with yourminecraft:melee_box_attack line

OH WAIT

it might have to do with the attack_interval

i just removed it

[calm flame]

oh yeah also the kb isn't doing anything

did i make it too weak by setting everything to 2?

AHH I FORGOT TO ADD THE EVENT ITSELF

[echo ledge]

😭

yeah

[echo ledge]

you literally just had to replace your file with my file

💀

[calm flame]

ok i added it

[echo ledge]

2 of all numbers...

lol

alr

[calm flame]

look... i already had some changes for the iron golem before i reached out

[echo ledge]

ah

no wonder

[calm flame]

i gave it 250 health from 100

i made it possible to feed them iron blocks

which heals them 10x of what ingots do

i also made it possible too with iron nuggets

[echo ledge]

i see

crazy

[calm flame]

it's supposed to heal 2.5

but from my testing, it's rounded down to 2

[echo ledge]

bruh

i mean

thats good enough right?

[calm flame]

i guess health_amount only wants whole numbers, which, fine

i also wanna math out other iron based items

like uhh

iron bars

[echo ledge]

yeah

[calm flame]

6: 25 150=16:?

400 2400/6

something around 66 actually 400

and split that across 16 iron bars..

okay

iron bars only healing 4hp does not

hold on

25??

wait i'm not even supposed to use ratios to begin with

i just need to divide 150 by 16

and then round it down

[calm flame]

so each iron bar heals 9

[echo ledge]

yeah

i guess

[calm flame]

@echo ledge @sonic mango

[echo ledge]

np

You can make animation for it

Just to add little more detail

And also, you could make the knockback inside the iron golem, it'll automatically ignore themself

Additionally you can add ignore type and family too so it'll not knockback villager or other iron golem

And instead of knockback when attacking, you can trigger it randomly after it takes damage
