[1.10.2] Steering Entity

[Spyeedy]

What I am trying to achieve with my custom entity is that the player can steer it like Green Goblin's Glider. So what I have managed to do so far is getting the player to be riding the entity. Here's what the problem lies, I don't know what I need to do to get the player to fly the entity. Also, the entity cannot be pushed like the pigs can be pushed. Code below.

public class EntityGreenGoblinGlider extends Entity
{	
public EntityGreenGoblinGlider(World worldIn)
{
	super(worldIn);
}

@Override
    public AxisAlignedBB getCollisionBox(Entity entityIn)
    {
        return entityIn.getEntityBoundingBox();
    }

    /**
     * Returns the collision bounding box for this entity
     */
@Override
    public AxisAlignedBB getCollisionBoundingBox()
    {
        return this.getEntityBoundingBox();
    }

@Override
public boolean canPassengerSteer()
{
	if (getControllingPassenger() instanceof EntityPlayer)
	{
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}

@Override
protected boolean canTriggerWalking()
{
	return false;
}

@Override
public boolean shouldRiderSit()
{
	return false;
}

@Override
public boolean canBeCollidedWith()
{
	return !this.isDead;
}

@Override
    public Entity getControllingPassenger()
    {
        return this.getPassengers().isEmpty() ? null : (Entity)this.getPassengers().get(0);
    }

@Override
protected boolean canBeRidden(Entity entityIn)
{
	return true;
}

@Override
public boolean canBePushed()
    {
        return true;
    }

@Override
public EnumActionResult applyPlayerInteraction(EntityPlayer player, Vec3d vec, ItemStack stack, EnumHand hand)
{
	if (!player.isSneaking())
	{
		player.startRiding(this, false);
	}
	return EnumActionResult.SUCCESS;
}

@Override
public void updatePassenger(Entity passenger)
    {
        if (this.isPassenger(passenger))
        {
            passenger.setPosition(this.posX, this.posY + 0.3, this.posZ);
        }
    }

@Override
public boolean attackEntityFrom(DamageSource source, float amount)
{
	this.setDead();
	return true;
}

@Override
protected void entityInit() {}

@Override
protected void readEntityFromNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) {}

@Override
protected void writeEntityToNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) {}
}

The way I am thinking this must be handled is intercepting the players movement key presses/holds. IE if spaces is down fly up? or If W is down move forward.

A packet you are saying? or an event handler?

Event handler and packets would be required. You subscribe to the InputEvent.KeyInputEvent and then send a packet to the server about the key being pressed. Then the server handles the execution.
