1.19.3 Show Player Crawling For All Players

[sFXprt]

Currently I have a mod that involves flying, which when activated shows the user's players crawling/swimming in the air while flying but this is only visible to the person flying and not other clients on the server (I achieved this by using LocalPlayer and checking for id/Entity#equals then forcing swimming pose). How do I get other players to see the person flying's pose as crawling/swimming as well?

The current things I have tried is iterating through online player list in ServerLevel and casting the ServerPlayer to Players and getting ClientLevel from said Players and force editing the pose for any entities in the entitiesForRendering() method that matches the criteria for flying. But that did not work at all and nothing happened. (Sorry I have no code on me right now I am on the phone away from computer)

I also attempted to send packets to each nearby player that has said flying player rendered. This resulted in the flyer to no longer force crawl/swim in the air. I even attempted to mess with each clients LocalPlayer in attempt to show the flyer as crawl/swimming but that failed too and causes a bit of lag which is not optimal for me.

Any ideas or solutions would help me greatly!

Then you are only setting players pose on the client. The server has no idea that the player should be swimming, so there is nothing telling the other players that this player should be swimming.

I understand that part already, the problem is trying to get other players to see the change

I don't know much about forcedPose() but...

 

If you want to set the pose so that everybody sees it, then as was said above you need to do it on the server.

That should take care of broadcasting the new pose to everybody in range of the player you changed.

 

But that won't do much for the actual player you changed. The server doesn't usually "control" players.

So you will also need to force the pose on the client for that player you changed, otherwise player.updatePlayerPose() will just reset/recalculate it on the next client tick.

When other players are looking at a player they use a RemotePlayer which overrides that method to do nothing. So their view of the pose shouldn't get recalculated on their clients.

ah I think I know what to do now. Thank you
