Tested with slimes on Win7 and CentOS

Thanks md_5!

The easy solution is to enable it with NoAI:0, set the yaw, then disable again. However, this is counter-intuitive and causes a slight visual delay in the rotation.

The problem here is that we'd like to be able to rotate the NoAI mobs, which isn't currently possible in Spigot (I however know that NoAI mobs work as intended in Vanilla).

I feel that this is a problem due to the fact that even using the inbuilt command to summon a NoAI mob (which I believe is /summon <EntityType>

, which works flawlessly in vanilla) should set the yaw of the player using the command, however, this is not the case, what ends up happening instead is rather a fixed yaw which if I recall correctly is facing south.

I'd greatly appreciate if you were to re-consider this bug due to the fact that it breaks a functionality that is present in Vanilla and encourages developers into using "hacky" methods such as manipulating packets to trick the client into thinking the entity is facing the given way, just to work around this silly bug.

I tested your plugin (after removing the NoAI part) and the slime rotates as expected.

Still an issue on CraftBukkit version git-Spigot-2f787bd-501372f (MC: 1.8.3)

Thanks, noted. Attempt #2 should work, though, correct?

Attempt #1 will never work btw, since location handles are not reflective of the entities location.

I've attached a 1.8.3 test jar which tries to set a Slime's yaw using two methods to no avail.

To test, left-click a block to place a Slime above it, then right-click a BLOCK (not the Slime, or Air per SPIGOT-410).
