[1.7.2] Dimensional teleporting, without the portals

[whiskeyfur]

Gettin' a little tired of putting nether portals all over the place in the game when trying to /home. Since forgeessentials hasn't been worked on for a while I'm trying to code my own.

 

What is the best way to move an entity from one world to an another without creating those obsidian gateways?

[Godis_apan]

entity.travelToDimension(dimensionID); (-1 for nether)

 

although this spawn a portal in the nether.

[whiskeyfur]

Unfortuntely I'm trying to avoid those portal all together. The code I'm doing this for is so the player can /home, do what he needs to, then /back to where he went.

 

In most cases, he certainly didn't have a nether portal near him when he left that dimension so... yea.

[Godis_apan]

Problem, sry don't know how to fix, maybe check i WorldProvider for something useful.

[chimera27]

You could do what Godis_apan said and add code to delete the portal as soon as it spawns, not an elegant solution but it might work

[Godis_apan]

That's smart, when the teleport happens just make a three for loops increasing the x, y, z like this.

 

for (int i = player.posX - 5; i < player.posX + 5; i++)
{
    for (int j = player.posY - 5; j < player.posX + 5; j++)
    { 
        for (int k = player.posZ - 5; k < player.posX + 5; k++)
        { 
               if (world.getBlock(i, j k) == Blocks.obsidian || world.getBlock(i, j k) == Blocks.portal)
               {
                       world.setBlockToAir(i, j, k);   
               }
        }
    }
}

Something like that.

I understand that method would work, though I'm not a real big fan of it because it feels more like a hack than a solution. For example, if they happen to be standing on obsidian, like a lava lake turned obsidian from a firestone, then this'll end up deleting obsidian blocks that didn't come from a portal.

 

I'm looking at possibly grabbing the worldserver for their source and destination worlds and telling them to remove and add the player respectively, then update their position. I don't think this'll work but it's worth a shot.

 

//WorldServer start = DimensionManager.getWorld(plyr.dimension);
//start.getPlayerManager().removePlayer(plyr);

WorldServer overworld = DimensionManager.getWorld(0);
overworld.getPlayerManager().addPlayer(plyr);

ChunkCoordinates c = overworld.getSpawnPoint();
plyr.setPositionAndUpdate(c.posX, c.posY, c.posZ);

 

Edit: This was a fail.

Create your own teleported class and a command to call it.  You will need to specify where to go in the destination dimension somehow.

Do you have some example code to show this? I've yet to see a way to get around making a portal in game without effectively recreating the CommandServerTP class.

[delpi]

I can share one tonight.

 

The basics are you need your own command.  Assuming you know how to do that.

 

From it you call your teleported code.  The trick is to override the methods in such a way it only does what you want.

[whiskeyfur]

That would be extremely helpful Delpi, thank you. I have the commands ready to go aside from that one piece.

[jabelar]

without effectively recreating the CommandServerTP class.

 

What's wrong with that?  That is probably the way you would want to do it, and I think delpi is proposing to give you such an example.  Logically it sounds like what you want -- a custom command that teleports.

[delpi]

Here is something that works for me.  I've done it different ways, but you should be able to modify this to suit your purposes.

    @Override

    {

}

 

 

 

 

Then setup a custom command to call it with something similar to this.

 

 

 

 

new MyTeleporter(minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(world.provider.dimensionId)).teleport(target, world);

 

 

 

 

 

Let me know how it goes.
