Tatuck Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Hello, I am trying to create a mod which shows the angle of a sound. I mean, if a chicken cackles in your left, I want to be able to get exactly the angle of the chicken. Sorry for the drawing but I think it makes an idea of what I want. @SubscribeEvent public static void soundAngle(PlaySoundEvent e){ ISound sound = e.getResultSound(); } Edited April 7, 2021 by Tatuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorius Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) @SubscribeEvent public static void soundAngle(PlaySoundEvent e){ ClientPlayerEntity player = Minecraft.getInstance().player; if(player != null) { //the event also triggers in the main menu, so this avoids crash ISound sound = e.getResultSound(); double x = sound.getX() - player.getPosX(); //gets the position relative to the player double y = sound.getZ() - player.getPosZ(); double angle = Math.atan2(y, x); //converts two sides of a rectangle to an angle given in radians player.sendChatMessage(String.valueOf(angle)); } } Something like this should work. In this code you get the angle relative to the world and not the player. Edited April 7, 2021 by Thorius More instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorius Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I wrote this in 1.15.2. The angle is given in radians. In any case you should test this solution whether or not it creates some errors in some special cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFMods Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 that's basically it, though a short instruction would be better that working code. and be careful about sides or your mod will crash multiplayer games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorius Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Well if you (Tatuck) want to know more about the subject, look into trigonometry. (in case you're not familiar with it) I think you can find many good explanations on the internet, maybe videos will be helpfull. I think you can learn the basics of trigonometry pretty fast and then you can do so much more with 3D coordinates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
