I want to make my player boost forwards, back, left or right relative to where they're facing, is there anyway I can do this?

As the title states ^

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my first mod!

 

I currently have it set to a keypress, here's my code:

public class DodgeEvent {
	@SubscribeEvent
    public void onKeyInput(KeyInputEvent event)
    {
        if (Keybinds.dodge.isPressed())
        {
        	PlayerEntity player = Minecraft.getInstance().player;
        	/*
        		
        		Things I'm messing around with:
        	
        	float rotation = player.cameraYaw;
        	Vec3d look = player.getLookVec();
        	System.out.println(rotation + "and" + look.x + "" + look.y);
        	player.addVelocity(look.x, 0, look.y);
        	*/
        }
    }

}

I have a feeling it has something to do with player.moveForward and player.moveStrafe although I can't find any recent documentation on this.

 

Thank you in advance for your help! I'm completely lost!

This is a little more complicated than what you have tried. When the key is pressed down you will need to send a packet to the server. The packet will say hey this player has pressed this button. The server will verify any other conditions then proceed with the appropriate response. In your case it will change the velocity of the player.

Now Minecraft uses xVel, yVel, and zVel so you likely need to use trig depending on exactly what you want to do.

 

PlayerEntity::moveForward and PlayerEntity::moveStrafe are from what I can tell multipliers on the actual motion values. And any change you do to them will be imperceptible because they are changed immediately before the entity moves.

Thank you! That's really helped.

 

I've managed to use the code from a snowball to get me started, although I'm still not too experienced in sending packets so I'll look into that now.

Hi

This example project might be of some help with custom packets (see mbe60)
