[1.7.10] Entity Rotation

[Raycoms]

I have some problems with the entity rotations.

When I set the rotationYaw and Pitch parameters the entity only rotates after a time or after the entity has been hit or "touched".

Is there a way to accelerate this process?

Where are you setting it? Client or server? Are you calling setter method or changing field?

[Raycoms]

I am setting it directly in the entity (So client I guess).

I used the faceEntity method and changed it to faceBlock.

After the execution of the code the rotation variables are correctly set ( Fishinghook is thrown in the correct direction).

But as said the entity will still face the previous direction until an event occurs.

 

    public void faceBlock(ChunkCoordinates block)

    {

        double xDifference = block.posX - this.posX;

        double zDifference = block.posZ - this.posZ;

        double yDifference = block.posY - (this.posY + (double) this.getEyeHeight() - 0.5);

 

        double squareDifference      = Math.sqrt(xDifference * xDifference + zDifference * zDifference);

        double intendedRotationYaw  = (Math.atan2(zDifference, xDifference) * 180.0D / Math.PI) - 90.0;

        double intendedRotationPitch = (-(Math.atan2(yDifference, squareDifference) * 180.0D / Math.PI));

        this.rotationPitch = (float) this.updateRotation(this.rotationPitch, intendedRotationPitch, 30);

        this.rotationYaw = (float) this.updateRotation(this.rotationYaw, intendedRotationYaw, 30);

    }

 

    private double updateRotation(double currentRotation, double intendedRotation, double maxIncrement)

    {

        double wrappedAngle = MathHelper.wrapAngleTo180_double(intendedRotation - currentRotation);

 

        if (wrappedAngle > maxIncrement)

        {

            wrappedAngle = maxIncrement;

        }

 

        if (wrappedAngle < -maxIncrement)

        {

            wrappedAngle = -maxIncrement;

        }

 

        return currentRotation + wrappedAngle;

    }

Adding:

this.setPositionAndUpdate(posX, posY, posZ);

Still doesn't affect that the entity turns into his correct rotation.

[Raycoms]

Moving like actual let them walk or also:

 

this.setPositionAndUpdate(posX+InsignificantAmount, posY, posZ);

[Raycoms]

Setting these "motion" variables didn't resolve anything.

Using "moveEntity" with + 0.001 did despawn the entity.

I am setting it directly in the entity (So client I guess).

 

A does not imply B here.

 

What calls this method?

[Raycoms]

The Method is called by an EntityAi class.

May that change in 1.8.9?

Since we're updating to 1.8.9 atm.
