player.setVelocity() not launching player into Y-Direction

Hey guys,
I have a problem with a plugin wich should launch a player into the air (like the launchpads on theHive)

Code:java

player.setVelocity(new Vector(player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(10).getX(), 5.0D, player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(10).getZ()));

this code doesn't work for me, it just pushes the player in the direction he is looking, not in the air.

How can I get that the player is launched into the air too?

Thanks, HellsMiner

Why don't you try setting the velocity of Y then ? in your code your only setting X and Z ... jefn

 

ChronicNinjaz HellsMiner
....
It clearly says 5.0D

Also, I've been experiencing issues with this too. Maybe bukkit broke for vectors?

 

//bump...

 

HellsMiner This?

Code:

player.setVelocity(new Vector(0,64,0));

This wont work too.

Anyone who knows a different way to code this?

We used this too in couple of our plugins and players were complaining about it. Must be a bukkit issue.
Sure to get fixed soon. I don't think there is any proper substitute for it at the moment.
Maybe you could do it with NMS code. Otherwise I would just wait for Bukkit to fix it and use player.teleport() for a temporary quick-fix on critical sections.

 

Try removing .getDirection(), since AFAIK, it's returning where player is looking...

 

Uhh, that's because you are using .getDirection().

If you want to launch them into the air AND in the direction they are facing, you can view the source for my plugin PlayerLauncher.

 

This is most certainly not broken.

You are setting the X and Z velocity to be twice the Y velocity, which has to fight gravity. So that's probably not going to do much.

That may be a little overkill, maybe try (0, 5, 0) to start with? Make sure to check the console for "player moved too quickly" warnings, which may be preventing the velocity change altogether.

I tried this but I get no "player moved too quickly" warnings and it doesn't shut up the player anyway :/

I used this code:

Code:java

player.setVelocity(new Vector(0, 5, 0));

 

Hm, I guess maybe even 5 is too much? That doesn't sound right... But I guess just try reducing the speed until it stops hitting that warning.

 

If you set the Y value of a vector to 1, that shoots them around 23 blocks into the air - 5 will most likely kick them for flying/trigger many NoCheatPlus warnings

To shoot them forward and a bit up, you can simply do this:

Code:

Vector direction = player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(4); // should be enough
direction.setY(direction.getY() + 0.5); // small boost up
player.setVector(direction); // chuck 'em

Just tried this Code, but i just dont get it working :/ just boosts the Player a bit.

Bump

The code that Chinwe posted was perfect, but it shoots them up slightly because of the line of code that looks like:

Code:java

direction.setY(direction.getY() + 0.5); // small boost up

if you need them to go higher change where it says 0.5 to what ever you want, but I wouldn't suggest more than 5.

But it doesnt work! It just doesnt shoot the Player in the air. Just gives him a little boost forward.

 

Downgrading to 1.6.4 its just working fine :O Anything to do different with this in 1.7.2?

 

That's pretty weird. I haven't noticed any differences myself, my favorite spell is basically this (set player velocity in the direction you're pointing) and I've been running 1.7 since the first dev build... I wish I had some more insight for you, sorry

 

Is something wrong with my Bukkit version? Wich version are you using where this is working?

 

I tried that. I know the solution. Bukkitservers don't allow such fast upwards movement. Try it with a value between 1 and 3 and there you go.

 

DeMaggo
Values between 1 and 3 Do not work too.

Are you using the latest build? Also, bump once per 24 hours.

 

Garris0n
Yes I'm using the latest build.

 

Bump

 

How hard can this be...

Code:java

p.setVelocity(new Vector(0, 1, 0).multiply(1D));

Set the velocity higher to shoot up harder.

 

I did stuff with velocities yesterday and did not have this issue. Is this the only plugin on your server? Can you post the full code you're using?

 

Are you sure that it does not work for 1.7.2 , Here is my Code,

Code:java

 e.getPlayer().setVelocity(e.getPlayer().getLocation().getDirection().multiply(4));
                        e.getPlayer().setVelocity(new Vector(e.getPlayer().getVelocity().getX(), 1.0D, e.getPlayer().getVelocity().getZ()));

I hope this do work , good luck

I'm sure its a 1.7 problem, in 1.6 the same code is working well. Already tried a few different 1.7 bukkit versions but everytime the same problem.
Other plugins that are using similar code doesnt work for me too.

 

:/ Its working for me..

 

HellsMiner
The problem you're having is probably you're not registering events, not extending JavaPlugin, implementing Listener etc. If it works for other people, it's not the code they gave you that's not working.
Post your entire code, and i'll see what I can do.
