Mob spawning

[RageMonke06]

I want to make a server with custom mobs (zombies with armor). Checking the spawning areas around the player makes the server crash so I thought of killing normal zombies when they spawn and spawning the custom zombie at the same location. I tried to get the location of the normal zombie before they get killed but it doesn’t seem to work.

You can get the location by using the on death event and using event-location or victim's location

Thank you, this helped me a lot but I have another problem. When a zombie gets killed I get the location and it spawns the custom zombie but the custom zombies also gets killed because it's a zombie. How can I fix this?

I'm assuming it also has a custom name so you can do
if name of victim is "":
and only kill it if it doesn't have that name

So,
on death of zombie:
if name of victim is "":
cancel the event
like this?

Should work, but I'm not sure if the on death event can be canceled, but try it

Okay last question, how can I kill every entity except if they have a name?

kill all entities where [name of input != "name"]

like I said before I use normal spawning zombies and replace them with custom one, but because it has a name it doesn’t count towards the mob cap and new zombies keep spawning and as a result new custom zombies keep spawning. Is there a way to make mobs with name count towards the mob cap or make like a custom mob cap?

You could use a variable to count how many you've spawned and stop it if it's over a certain amount
