Solved ChargedCreepers and ExplodingCreepers

I have another Entity question, how can I spawn a charged creeper? Or better, how can I charge a creeper? I'm spawning an Creeper Entity to one player and I want to charge it and then make it explode a few seconds later, I can do the wait task for however long I want to wait before exploding but how can I do both of those things?

EDIT: Can I set it in the meta data? When I'm spawning the creeper?

Testing is essential part of programming.

PHP:

$this->namedtag->powered = new ByteTag("powered", $powered ? 1 : 0);
$this->setDataProperty(/*self::DATA_POWERED*/19, self::DATA_TYPE_BYTE, $powered ? 1 : 0);


Add this to NBT

PHP:

$nbt["powered"] = new ByteTag("powered", 1);


Note: boolean is alias to byte, false represents 0 and true represents 1.

That crashed my server. I actually tested that before and it worked for me in 0.12.0 lel

I don't see any reason why it should crash, except for client side

*ByteTag

Dislike.
Boolean is not alias to byte. A boolean is represented by a Tag_BYTE in NBT, but that doesn't mean that a byte is necessarily a boolean.

A boolean basically refers to the data type that is fundamentally one-bit long, which can represent either true or false, or technically, 1 (on) or 0 (off).
A byte refers to the data type that is normally 8-bit long (1-byte long) (I forgot where I read it: bytes are actually 9 bits long, with the 9th bit for checksum or something like that; citation needed please, can't google that), which can represent a range of 256 values, namely 0 to 255, or -128 to 127, inclusively.

In Minecraft NBT, the Tag_BYTE also has its uses apart from storing booleans. For instance, according to http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Player.dat_format#Potion_Effects, status effects are stored in Tag_COMPOUNDs that contain a Tag_BYTE for storing the effect ID. Therefore, bytes are not equivalent to booleans.

In addition, when we want to store an array of booleans, we use a bitmask. See http://php.net/chmod for example; it should be the most known example of bitmask. (Hopefully everyone here knows the chmod command in Linux, and knows something more than "chmod +x file") In this case, a data type of larger size, such as a Tag_LONG with 64 bits, can be used if we want to store 64 booleans in one tag.

In conclusion, byte ∉ boolean, and boolean ∉ byte. (∉ is the mathematical symbol that means "not in the set of".

P.S. Once upon a time, I heard my teacher said that 1 is "on" and 0 is "off", so I naively thought that 3 is "sleep" and 4 is "hibernate" and 5 is "reboot", etc.

Sorry Chris, I shall Google it to approve the information I post next time

Edit: I probably meant - boolean represents a one bit (0 - false, 1 - true). I have to be true this time right?

Chris? My name is not Chris.

Boolean represents one bit, but technically it is difficult to write one bit into a file without filling the other 7 bits, so it is often represented as a byte.

Who is Chris?

PEMapModder.

Isn't @Primus Chris too?

According to https://github.com/PEMapModders/repo/issues/1#issuecomment-212441193, @PEMapModder clarified that "Chris" is a dummy name for any person.
Moreover, I have already, in my status, clarified that I am not @PEMapModder.

My name is not Chris. My name is SOFe.

I am not Hotshot.

Does anyone wonder why "not @PEMapModder" is so familiar with all @PEMapModder repos and knows PocketMine so good? Even in your signature You claim to be incognito user, I would be too in his place (yes I read the whole signature). I doubt that you're an 78 year old female anyway.

@Gamecrafter mentioned that @PEMapModder name was Chris. I can't find your Github profile but I'm 80% sure It's new.

As @Hotshot_9930 confirmed, your status proves nothing

Anyway, @PEMapModder PocketMine needs you.

Either he/she is @PEMapModder, or just someone intentionally trying to lead people on and/or troll. Either way, @SOFe is an interesting character.

@PEMapModder was clear that doesn't have time for this junk now.

What does that have to do with my post?

Sorry wrong quote

It is an honour that you would compare me to @PEMapModder, but I'm afraid that you can't eliminate the possibility that I am just someone closely related to @PEMapModder, but not @PEMapModder itself.
