[1.10.2] [SOLVED] Getting the RayTraceResult and BlockPos on Physical Server?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hey!

So there is a method called EntityPlayer::rayTrace(...) and it contains the annotation @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT), does that mean that I cannot use this method when running physical server?

And if so, what is an alternative that can get the player's RayTraceResult and BlockPos (block's position that the player is looking at).

The reason being is that I want to make a command that can teleport the player to the position of the block they are looking at.

Is there any alternative way to accomplish this?

Any suggestions and help are welcome.

Thanks!

Correct. Also, you should be concerned about logical sides, not physical.

Copy and paste the method into your own code, assuming it does not reference further client-side-only code. In all likelyhood it forwards a call off to World#rayTrace (or similar name) and you can use that.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

But if I use it in execute(MinecraftServer server, ICommandSender sender, String args[]) throws CommandException, which is a logical server method, will I need to send packets or will World::rayTrace be server-side? In other words, is World::rayTrace client or server-side? Because I need to then get the BlockPos and then make that block air, like so:

public void execute(MinecraftServer server, ICommandSender sender, String args[]) throws CommandException
{
  EntityPlayer playerIn = getCommandSenderAsPlayer(sender);
  World worldIn = playerIn.worldObj;
  RayTraceResult trace = worldIn.rayTrace(...) // this is client or server side?
  BlockPos pos = trace.getBlockPos();
  worldIn.setBlockToAir(pos);
}

Thanks!

A simple glace through your IDE should have shown you that the World::rayTraceBlocks (there's three of 'em) are not annotated with any SideOnly.
The reason EntityPlayer::rayTrace is Client-Side only, is because that is only where it is used. Way back (in 1.3?) when Minecraft split the Server & Client logic, it was determined that the server only needs that which it uses.

Anything that could have been common, but was only used Client-Side, was forced to become Client-Side only, during this split.

Does that mean that World::rayTraceBlocks(...) is server-side? So I can do this?:

    @Override
    public void execute(MinecraftServer server, ICommandSender sender, String[] args) throws CommandException
    {
        EntityPlayer playerIn = getCommandSenderAsPlayer(sender);
        Vec3d posVec = new Vec3d(playerIn.posX, playerIn.posY + playerIn.getEyeHeight(), playerIn.posZ);
        Vec3d lookVec = playerIn.getLookVec();
        World worldIn = playerIn.worldObj;
        RayTraceResult trace = worldIn.rayTraceBlocks(posVec, posVec.add(lookVec.scale(100))); // or is this client-side?
        BlockPos pos = trace.getBlockPos();
    }

Should have told you enough.

If you're still paranoid about sides, launch server, launch client, connect with "localhost" and test.
If you crash, then no.

    • @Tsuk1 Also, new note, you can use blockbench to make the custom item model for when it is not on the head.   EDIT: Funny story, I am making a mod similar to yours! Mine is called NorseMC.
    • @Nood_dev Could you send a screenshot of your weapon code? Here is the one I made (for a dagger): The specific UUID does not matter, just that it is the same every time, which is why UUID#randomUUID does not work public class DaggerItem extends TieredItem implements Vanishable { protected static final double REACH_MODIFIER = -1.5D; protected final Multimap<Attribute, AttributeModifier> defaultModifiers; protected final UUID BASE_ATTACK_REACH_UUID = UUID.fromString("6fe75b5c-9d1b-4e83-9eea-a1d5a94e8dd5") public DaggerItem(Tier pTier, int pAttackDamageModifier, float pAttackSpeedModifier, Properties pProperties) { super(pTier, pAttackDamageModifier, pAttackSpeedModifier, pProperties); this.attackDamage = (float) pAttackDamageModifier + pTier.getAttackDamageBonus(); ImmutableMultimap.Builder<Attribute, AttributeModifier> builder = ImmutableMultimap.builder(); builder.put(Attributes.ATTACK_DAMAGE, new AttributeModifier(BASE_ATTACK_DAMAGE_UUID, "Weapon modifier", this.attackDamage, AttributeModifier.Operation.ADDITION)); builder.put(Attributes.ATTACK_SPEED, new AttributeModifier(BASE_ATTACK_SPEED_UUID, "Weapon modifier", pAttackSpeedModifier, AttributeModifier.Operation.ADDITION)); // THE ONE YOU WANT: builder.put(ForgeMod.ENTITY_REACH.get(), new AttributeModifier(BASE_ATTACK_REACH_UUID, "Weapon modifier", REACH_MODIFIER, AttributeModifier.Operation.ADDITION)); this.defaultModifiers = builder.build(); } @Override public Multimap<Attribute, AttributeModifier> getDefaultAttributeModifiers(EquipmentSlot pEquipmentSlot) { return pEquipmentSlot == EquipmentSlot.MAINHAND ? this.defaultModifiers : super.getDefaultAttributeModifiers(pEquipmentSlot); } }

    • That's what we'll try out. I could never figure out how to recreate the crash, so I'll just have to wait and see.
    • Ok, I updated to the latest version and now the models are visible, the problem now is that the glowing eyes are not rendered nor any texture I render there when using shaders, even using the default Minecraft eyes RenderType, I use entityTranslucent and entityCutout, but it still won't render. Something I noticed when using shaders is that a texture, instead of appearing at the world position, would appear somewhere on the screen, following a curved path, it was strange, I haven't been able to reproduce it again. I thought it could be that since I render the texture in the AFTER ENTITIES stage which is posted after the batches used for entity rendering are finished, maybe that was the reason why the render types were not being drawn correctly, so I tried injecting code before finishing the batches but it still didn't work, plus the model was invisible when using shaders, there was a bug where if I look at the model from above it is visible but if I look at it from below it is invisible. So in summary, models are now visible but glowing eyes and textures are not rendered, that hasn't changed.
