Make dragon mount?

I was trying to create a dragon mount for my rpg server. My first idea was to create a horse and if you was sneaking i set the velocity of y to go up. And desguise the horse as a dragon but idk if this is so easy as i imagined. Do anyone have like a exeple code for desguising entities or just creating a dragon with own movent.

PHP:

//spawn an EnderDragon 
EnderDragon e = (EnderDragon) player.getWorld().spawn(player.getLocation(), EnderDragon.class);
//mount the player on the EnderDragon 
e.setPassenger(player);

Normally this would not work without Thread.sleep(5000) or some other time in ticks. Don't do it in the mean thread though.
player is the player; Player player = (Player) sender; for commands, Player player = event.getPlayer(); for events

 

Yah that sets him as a rider but i wanted to make the player able to move the dragon. I could use player move event and get his pich,yaw but how can i set the dragon to go to where player is pointing then?

Ok so im soon done (i think)
ive gotten the player and the dragon and now i just need to set the dragons direction to players pich/jaw.

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void PlayerMoveEvent(PlayerMoveEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if(plugin.MountedDragon.containsKey(p)){
            EnderDragon ender = plugin.MountedDragon.get(p);
            Location ploc = p.getLocation();
            float Yaw = ploc.getYaw();
            float Pich = ploc.getPitch();
        }
    }

Using my above code

PHP:

new BukkitRunnable(){
@Override
public void run(){
e.setVelocity(player.getLocation().getDirection());
}
}.runTaskTimer(this, 0L, 1L);

I'm not sure if you need a runnable though. If not just use the e.setVelocity(player.getLocation().getDirection()) line

Edit: ninja'd by you xD

 

I try first in a PlayerMoveEvent if that would work?

T

Worked THAT WAS AWESOME. But the dragon doesnt point in the derection it does just move

Make a runnable like I did but instead of having the e.setVelocity, set the pitch and yaw to the player
1 question: did you just use the runnable or the single line?

 

I didnt use any of them this is my code:

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void PlayerMoveEvent(PlayerMoveEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if(plugin.MountedDragon.containsKey(p)){
            EnderDragon ender = plugin.MountedDragon.get(p);
            ender.setVelocity(p.getLocation().getDirection());
        }
    }

And it didnt work with setting the pitch i think my code is just worng:

Code:

            Location enderlocation = ender.getLocation();
            enderlocation.setYaw(p.getLocation().getYaw());
            enderlocation.setPitch(p.getLocation().getPitch());
            ender.teleport(enderlocation);

Any easier way?

To be honest I have no idea

Edit: try this

PHP:

ender.setVelocity(player.getLocation().toVector().multiply(1));

I'm not sure that would work because toVector returns a vector, not a direction necessarily.

 

.... Well time to search around

Ok i found how i would be able to set it but. Ive always had this problem that i cant import or use craftEntity is this normal? ((CraftEntity) ender).getHandle().setPositionRotation(eX, eY, eZ, mYaw, mPitch)
on craftentity it sais that it cant resolve it

Ok got that working now. But now i need to rotate the yaw. How can i rotate it? Because the enderdragon has his head in his a***ole it seems like. is it +360? -360 idk anyone?

OMG I GOT WORKING! -180 DDDD I have a fully functional enderdragon mount Next is Wither
Edit: Sorry for spamming so much Just realized

I think it is from -90 (directly down) to 90 (directly up) however not confirmed.

PHP:

Vector vector = p.getLocation().toVector();

double rotX = p.getYaw();
double rotY = p.getPitch();

vector.setY(-Math.sin(Math.toRadians(rotY)));
  
double h = Math.cos(Math.toRadians(rotY));

vector.setX(-h * Math.sin(Math.toRadians(rotX)));
vector.setZ(h * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(rotX)));

ender.setVelocity(vector);

If that doesn't work in ender.setVelocity, make it ender.setVelocity(vector.multiply(1));

Edit: found a solution first- good for you!

 

whats the full code for this mount??

 

Not sure if anyone still watches this, but here's what I put together from this code:
(I've tested it and it works as far as I know)

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void PlayerMoveEvent(PlayerMoveEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if(p.getVehicle() == null) {
        }else {
            Entity ent = p.getVehicle();
            if(ent.getType().equals(EntityType.ENDER_DRAGON)) {
                Vector vec = p.getLocation().getDirection();
                ent.setVelocity(vec.multiply(5));
                ((CraftEntity) ent).getHandle().setPositionRotation(ent.getLocation().getX(), ent.getLocation().getY(), ent.getLocation().getZ(), p.getLocation().getYaw() - 180, p.getLocation().getPitch());
            }
        }
    }

 

Already solved and necro
