Making a player follow another in multiplayer

[TheRaider]

I am trying to make another player be able to follow another player (head movements included) in multiplayer.

 

Any ideas on how I would go about this?

Create a player handler that keeps track of each player. Then when a player is told to follow have the handler take over movement for the player. In which you'll have to tell it to change direction, and velocity.

 

I would tell you more but i've not made a player handler myself. As for changing the direction and velocity you need to get the player and simple tell it to rotate X degrees and increase or decrease by X velocity.

 

look at a few things in here for some help. This mod manages the player to provide jump, fly, and run assist. https://github.com/MachineMuse/MachineMusePowersuits/tree/master/src/minecraft/net/machinemuse/powersuits

thanks for the help it is much appreciated.

 

I will have a look at the mod.

 

Don't suppose you know of any tutorials.

 

 

Yikes, i don't really understand much of that.

 

Here my thoughts

 

I could use

 

String playerS = "playername";
             MinecraftServer var1 = MinecraftServer.getServer();
             EntityPlayerMP entityplayermp = var1.getConfigurationManager().getPlayerForUsername(playerS);

 

to find the player

 

and

 

entityplayermp.playerNetServerHandler.setPlayerLocation(entityplayermp3.posX, entityplayermp3.posY, entityplayermp3.posZ, entityplayermp3.rotationYaw, entityplayermp3.rotationPitch);

 

to move the player to the right spot (but that doesn't do head rotation too right)?

 

But I don't know how to call this every tick, just once with an icommand.
