\n## **Are you a datapack dev looking for a new way to make interesting entities?**<\/p>\n
**Then look no further** because Here comes **Better mannequins** A way for you to give the **New Mannequin Entity** a little spark of life for your project!<\/p>\n
This is currently the first version of the datapack, but for it we have a brand new feature that you can use for all your datapack needs!<\/p>\n
### In this version you can summon a **_Better Mannequin_** by using this command:<\/p>\n
_**”\/function mannequin_controls:summon_mannequin {type:(Type is an Identifier for what this entity is used for), name:(The name for your mannequin), profile:(If you don’t have a profile to use just put ‘{}’ but if you do it’s the same as the normal mannequins profile), speed:(This is speed at which your mannequin can move)}”**_<\/p>\n
Or, without all the explanations it should look a little something like this:<\/p>\n
**_”\/function mannequin_controls:summon_mannequin {type:””, name:””, profile:{}, speed:0}”_**<\/p>\n
When you summon it, it will be doing almost nothing, so to actually control the mannequin you need to use the **”\/function mannequin_controls:step”** command and when this happens you should see that the mannequin will take its very first steps. If you want to it move to a specific spot you need to rotate it using the **”\/rotate”**, command and point it towards its destination<\/p>\n
Now that you know how the mannequin works and how it moves you can start developing your own NPC’s, enemies, effects, and plenty of other things.<\/p>\n
### If you want a preview of what a mannequin can do then summon the already implemented **Robot**!<\/p>\n
to summon the robot use this command:<\/p>\n
**”\/function utils:summon_robot”**<\/p>\n
This entity will look towards the nearest player and start running towards them, and when it gets too close it will damage them, so make sure to keep your distance!<\/p>\n
### Quick Tips!<\/p>\n
– **Make sure that when you are using the step function, you are running it _AS THE MANNEQUIN_ otherwise it won’t work**<\/p>\n
– **If the mannequin isn’t going where you want it to double check if you’re rotating it the right way**<\/p>\n
– **In my opinion, it is best to have the speed set to a value of 15**<\/p>\n
### Extra Notes<\/p>\n
It is perfectly okay for you to use this in your data pack and upload it to Moderinth, but if you are using this in the datapack, I would **heavily** appreciate it if you could credit me in your datapack description and leave a link!<\/p>\n
