1.16.3 Make player move forward

[link1213]

Is it possible to make the player move towards where ever they are looking at a fairly fast speed, while ignoring the y vector? Basically i want them to still need to jump and stuff but still be constantly moving forward

Add velocity in the direction of that look vector, there's some method to do that within Entity. The y can be ignored due to the additive identity.

See that's what I have been trying, I just don't understand how to ignore the y

living.setMotion(living.getLookVec());

this is what I have but obviously that will include the y. How do I tell it to ignore that?

Are you making a bot?

No, this is for a custom potion effect. I want the player to be able to move where ever they are looking with a significant speed boost. I just want the player to still need to manually jump so they cant fly around. The idea is that they get a speed boost far greater than that of a regular speed potion, but the drawback is that its harder to control

Create a new vector with a 0 y. Actually, it should be the y motion of the player if you're going to use set.

So I tried that by doing

living.setMotion(living.getLookVec().getX(), 0, living.getLookVec().getZ());
			

but now the player just cant move their y position at all. As in they cant jump and there is no gravity

That's because you set it to 0.

Use getMotion to get the entity’s motion.

That's why I prepended this statement.
