Direction Based Flight Help

[Zethariel]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to add a flight system that uses velocity rather than the stiff minecraft creative flight. I have managed to make a prototype that sort of works how I wanted it to, but it has two major flaws:

 

1. When the movement starts it propells the player once, waits for some ticks and then resumes moving. No idea why that happens

2. Pressing any other button causes the forward button to not be in a pressed state anymore, which shouldn't be the case...

Code:

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
	@SubscribeEvent
	public void onTestKeyPress(KeyInputEvent event){
		GameSettings settings =Minecraft.getMinecraft().gameSettings;
		EntityPlayerSP player = Minecraft.getMinecraft().player;
		
		if (settings.keyBindForward.isKeyDown()){
			settings.keyBindForward.unPressAllKeys();
			Vec3d vec = player.getLookVec().normalize().scale(2);
			player.setVelocity(0, 0, 0);
			player.addVelocity(vec.xCoord, vec.yCoord, vec.zCoord);
			player.setNoGravity(true);
		} else {
			player.setNoGravity(false);
		}
		
	}

 

I know it's very bad, but I only needed a proof of concept before pursuing this path any further. Is there perhaps a better way of doing this? What I basically want to do is:

1. Capture the key press for movement and disable it

2. Propell player in the direction of the movement key based on current camera look vector.

 

Any feedback is appreciated.

You are going to want to use the ClientTickEvent and in there check if your key is down to apply movement every tick. KeyInputEvent should only be called every so often.

Okay, thanks, I'll try that. KeyInputEvent will be called regardless of anything, and I have other things checking it as well.

 

EDIT: That didn't help any of the issues I described
