Independently Bob the Camera

[squidlex]

I'm looking to move the player camera down vertically for a couple ticks but don't know where to start with it.

Thank you!

Forge supports altering the camera's angles and fov. See ViewportEvent and its subclasses.

It has no event for moving the camera. Probably because it is tied to the entity.

 

The camera location is calculated from the eye position of the player or entity being spectated and updated every tick as they move. 

The eye position is calculated from the entity's location and eye height.

The eye height is calculated from the entity's pose (standing, crouching, sleeping, etc.) when it changes.

 

You could do player.setForcePose(Pose.CROUCHING).

Or another way might be to call player.refreshDimensions() while subscribing to EntityEvent.Size to alter the eye height?

You probably need to do it on the server for it to work properly.
