Forcing the player to move?

Is it possible to force a real player to move to a specific location? I tried with calling the PlayerMoveEvent, but that won't work :/

 

You can't make the player walk there, but you can teleport them AFAIK

 

ZeusAllMighty11 Hmm but it should be possible to force entities to move to a specific location?

 

Hmmm yes entities. I guess a player is an entity, but it has no paths goals thing

 

I'm pretty sure you can change the player's velocity but I've never got it to work

 

Player#setVelocity(Vector) forces the player to 'fly' towards that direction (unless there is a Block in the way)

 

fireblast709 how would I get the correct velocity, so that the player will move to the specific location?

ZeusAllMighty11 how can I make a mob move with/without making a modified entity class?

Anyone knows a solution?

 

I recently found this:

http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/controllable-mobs-api/

 

That would help me with my mob problem, but not with the player problem... How would I get the velocity for moving the player to a specific location?

 

Get the distance, and graph a parabola/vector, set player to that vector. Requires some math knowledge.

 

AbsolutePotato could you help me with this? I'm not very good at maths

Probably something like this :

Code:

Location location = [any location you want here]
Int speed = [any number]
Vector dir = location.toVector().subtract(player.getLocation().toVector()).normalize();
player.setVelocity(dir.multiply(speed));

Where speed is any number.
Didn't require as much math as I thought.

 

AbsolutePotato Thanks
