[1.13.2]What is the right way to move the Player?

[HenryFoster]

Hi,

 

I want to write a simple autowalk/run mod but I have problems understanding how the Playercontroller works.

 

I had two approaches:

 

1. simulating keypresses

I thought this would be an easy idea using something like this: 

KeyBinding.onTick(minecraft.gameSettings.keyBindUseItem.getKeyCode());

I gues this method executes this keypress for the time of a single tick? So if I want to move consistently i would need to call this method on every tick using PlayerTickEvent and checking a boolean every time if autowalk is on or off? 

I think this idea is not so good as you could not use the chat while autowalking.

 

2. So my next idea was to to access the playercontroller and find some kind of move method. But I could find out how it exactly works and what I need to do to make sure that the player walks like i would just press the W key.

I found some code online but I could not find the methods in my libs: 

player.func_70031_b(true);

the player if from type 

EntityPlayerSP

Entity#move should work

I'm making advancements. I found a way to move the player using the MovementInput class and :

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.entity.EntityPlayerSP;

 

. It worked perfectly however only if I call the method via an event like LeftClickBlock event. When I want to call the method using a keybind:

@SubscribeEvent
	public static void keyPress(KeyInputEvent event)
	{
		
		if(KeyBindings.myKey.isPressed()) {
			if(!pressed) {
				pressed = true;
			}else {
				pressed = false;
			}
			
			if(pressed) {
				pmc.moveStraightTo(0,0,4);
			}else {
				pmc.resetPlayerInput();
			}
		}
	}

I get a NullPointer Exception:

 

Edit: Im an idiot I did not registered the keybind properly
