Spiders dont attack in "spiderwhisperer" range

[TemporarySolutn]

Im trying to make a mod that makes it so spiders wont attack in range of a spider whisperer but first I cant even figure out a good way of checking if there is a player with that tag in its range (40, lightning rod range if this is wrong). I also don't know where id even put this in the spider to get it to function properly. (also how the hell would I keep them from attacking walls? I cant even find what lets them do this to begin with)
