Posted April 14, 201312 yr I'd like to modify player capabilities as defined in "net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer.capabilites" directly from the sever like so: player.capabilities.disableDamage = true; player.capabilities.allowEdit = false; player.capabilities.allowFlying = true; The only one that appears to work is disable damage. Any suggestions on the other two? (I'm using the latest forge build)
April 14, 201312 yr Author where are you calling it? In an "onPlayerHurt" event, here's a simple example @ForgeSubscribe public void onPlayerHurt(LivingHurtEvent event) { if (event.entityLiving instanceof EntityPlayer) { EntityPlayerMP player = (EntityPlayerMP)event.entityLiving; player.capabilities.allowEdit = false; player.capabilities.allowFlying = true; player.capabilities.disableDamage = true; } } Again, only disableDamage works.
April 14, 201312 yr are you sure it's EntityPlayerMP and not EntityPlayer? and depending on where you change those variables depends on where they work. I know for a fact that setting allowFlying to true in a tick handler doesn't work, but it does in the item file.
April 14, 201312 yr Author If you are doing it ServerSide (which you really should!) you need to send the changed capabilities to the client so he knows about them. Use player.sendPlayerAbilities (IIRC). That made allowFlying work. But allowEdit still does not. (btw the description of that method says it sends the player abilities to the server, not client)

I figured it wouldn't considering EntityPlayerMP extends EntityPlayer.
