[1.7.10] Detect where player wants to move on server (client - WASD, server - ?)

[Elix_x]

Hello, i have a little question: how can i know where player wants to move on server side?

 

I know that:

-On client i can check for key binds press.

-Server does not have keyboard.

-Client sends packets to server about input. But:

-All calls checking move key press go from MovementInputFromOptions, but this one is called only from EntityPlayerSP. ANd:

-Somehow client sends to server data about movement.

-In worst case i could send packets... But that's for worst case...

 

What i'm trying to do:

-In player update event check where player wants to move and modify motionX,Y,Z according to some side effects (not blocks, not entities, not tiles...).

Just to know where player wants to move!!! I know everything else!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for help!

If you have any questions - just ask!

The client detects the key-pressing, and tells the server that it wants to move there.

 

But why do you want this??

Use the

PlayerTickEvent

, and modify the

motionX/Y/Z

variables in there.

I'm already doing this...

I just need to know where player wants to move...

 

This makes me sad... Op has to be rewritten...

Hi

a bit out of date; movement is now sent from EntityPlayerSP.onUpdateWalkingPlayer() to update player position, handled on NetHandlerPlayServer.processPlayer

 

looks to me like it just updates the player position directly and doesn't store the 'which direction is player moving' anywhere.

Thanks. I already understood that. So i had to do this:

	float fw = entity.moveForward;
	float st = entity.moveStrafing;
	boolean sneaking = entity.isSneaking();

	boolean forward = fw > 0;
	boolean backwards = fw < 0;
	boolean left = st < 0;
	boolean right = st > 0;
	boolean up = false;
	boolean down = sneaking;

 

Oh and also, forge has to create isJumping method in EntityLivingBase. Otherwise we have to use reflection to check if entity is jumping...
