[1.12.2] Making player move/float towards certain destination


Recommended Posts

Posted

Basically what the title says, cancelling WASD and Spacebar keys. Then make the player float/move towards a certain destination. I got it to work for entities such as a cow or skeleton etc. the code I currently use to move an entity towards a location (in this case the location is another entity) is this:

 

	public void pullEntityToEntity(Entity entity, Entity secondEntity, double moveFactor) {
		double distX = entity.posX - secondEntity.posX;
		double distZ = entity.posZ - secondEntity.posZ;
		double dir = MathHelper.atan2(distZ, distX);
		double speed = 1f / secondEntity.getDistance(entity.posX, entity.posY, entity.posZ) * moveFactor;

		secondEntity.motionX = MathHelper.cos((float) dir) * speed;
		secondEntity.motionZ = MathHelper.sin((float) dir) * speed;
	}

 

 

the code I use to freeze certain entities is:

 

	public void freezeEntity(Entity entity) {
		entity.setVelocity(0, 0, 0);
		if (entity.prevPosX != entity.posX || entity.prevPosY != entity.posY || entity.prevPosZ != entity.posZ) {
			entity.posX = entity.prevPosX;
			entity.posY = entity.prevPosY;
			entity.posZ = entity.prevPosZ;
		}
    }

 

 

I also tried a simple network message to disable the WASD and spacebar key, which eventually turned out not to work.

 

I googled around why I couldn't change the entityplayer's position + velocity but I could not find why. The code above does work for other entities that isn't a EntityPlayer.

 

 

Thanks for reading and possibly your help! ^^

	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void inputListener(InputUpdateEvent event) {
		if(ClientModule.isFrozen) {
			event.getMovementInput().moveStrafe = 0;
			event.getMovementInput().backKeyDown = false;
			event.getMovementInput().forwardKeyDown = false;
			event.getMovementInput().jump = false;
			event.getMovementInput().leftKeyDown = false;
			event.getMovementInput().rightKeyDown = false;
		}
	}

 

 

It does freeze most of my movement keys, except for my forwardkey and backkey. why do exactly those 2 keys still work?

Maybe you should set MovementInput#moveForward to 0 as well.

Oh, I didn't see that one! Ill look better next time! Thank you! Now the freezing part is solved, but how do I make the player float/move towards the certain location though? The code I currently have only works on Living AI-entities. Do I do that part in the InputUpdateEvent? I don't think so, if so thats gonna be alot of hard work xD

You'll have to adjust the position every tick. There is no "automatic movement" for players.

So something like this:
 

	public void pullEntityToEntity(Entity entity, Entity secondEntity, double moveFactor) {
		double distX = entity.posX - secondEntity.posX;
		double distZ = entity.posZ - secondEntity.posZ;
		double dir = MathHelper.atan2(distZ, distX);
		double speed = 1f / secondEntity.getDistance(entity.posX, entity.posY, entity.posZ) * moveFactor;

		secondEntity.motionX = MathHelper.cos((float) dir) * speed;
		secondEntity.motionZ = MathHelper.sin((float) dir) * speed;
	}

 

shouldn't work for an EntityPlayer? (secondEntity is the EntityPlayer in this case) If you think it should work, it doesn't for me. All it does is nothing, it does get casted though.

You can use linear interpolation to smoothly move between two points. You will need the original start position, the final destination position and the amount between them the player should be.

Sorry for the horribly late reply, I tried doing this but I already knew maths wasn't my strongest part in life. I couldn't get it to work, and eventually recoded parts of my mod because I thought the reason why it didn't work was because of some other parts affecting the entities movement etc etc. So sorry for asking more help into the linear interpolation part, but could you explain how that'd work?
