How do I do This...

[DrMrMinecraft]

How can I make it so when I right click on a block, (For ex. a chair) it makes you sit in it? Im just a newbie at modding, so I don't know much.

[WorldsEnder]

Uff dude, you don't want to begin with something easier D: To be able to "sit" in a chair you would have to modify the boundingBoxes of the Player so that Minecraftmechanics won't push them out again. The other thing to do is just placing the mob at the right position and angles and then using the PlayerAPI (no link though, google it) to modify the arms and legs. I guess I can't give you much detail here because I'm in kinda hurry. Maybe later.

Hope this helps a bit,

sincerely Me

This is very, very complicated.

 

The EntityMinecart code would be worth looking at, for the modification of the player model. If you want them in the block, you'll have to modify bounding boxes. If you want them on top of the block, just lock the player in place using the onEntityCollide(...) (or something like that) function in the block class.

Not that complicated, tbh.

lolno, the sitting render is actually handled inside the RenderBiped and ModelBiped class, AFAIK. The entity just holds a variable for the riding / ridden Entity. The only thing worth looking at would be how to mount the player onto that minecart (generally an entity)

 

If you want them in the block, you'll have to modify bounding boxes. If you want them on top of the block, just lock the player in place using the onEntityCollide(...) (or something like that) function in the block class.

 

Or you just create a "dummy entity" which is invisible, let it place when the block is placed in the middle of the X/Z block coordinates (blockX/blockZ + 0,5) and deny despawning (canDespawn() returns false).

If he right-clicks the block, the block scans for the entity and mount the player to that entity. Make sure to make the size of the entity small enough so you can place blocks next to your block, and to prevent the entity from blocking the block highlighting, so the player can break the block.

If the player breaks the block, the entity is removed from the world (entity.setDead()).

 

Ah yeah, and don't forget to block the entitys movement!

Or set noclip.

IIRC, you can still push the entity aside. Also wouldn't it just fall through the ground?

[Draco18s]

Also wouldn't it just fall through the ground?

 

That assumes two things:

1) Gravity.  Minecraft doesn't really have....gravity.  Any object which needs to fall handles its own falling motion, there's no global gravity effect, so a no-clip entity can still say "nope, not fallin'!"

2) That no-clip ignores the ground.  It is not unreasonable to have only horizontally based collision ignoring.

Off-topic question: How would one go about changing the 'gravity' of an entity? (i.e. changing the player so that they fall up, and so that the camera changed to match, or having sand fall a different direction?)

 

Could you give me a place to look, if it's too complicated to be worth your time explaining?

onUpdate(). There's a line where it says motionY -= 0.04 or something like that. Just change it in your onUpdate.

[Nethseaar]

Thanks! Need to test this, but I found the line.

 

Any way to flip the camera?

[Darkprince97]

It has to do with entityPlayer.cameraYaw and entityPlayer.cameraPitch.
