Bouncing back players

My goal is to check if a person goes out of an area and if they do they bounce back.

What I mean by this is someone runs into a set barrier and they get bounced back in the opposite direction of which they were facing.

I already tried getting there Velocity and multiplying it by -1.

Code:java

event.getPlayer().setVelocity(event.getPlayer().getVelocity().multiply(-1));

Thanks in advance.

You forgot to get the direction of the player.

Code:

event.getPlayer().setVelocity(event.getPlayer().getLocation().getDirection().multiply(-1));

I'm not sure if even that will work, I'm not on my computer at the moment. If it doesn't work, tell me and I'll write the code later.

 

messageofdeath Assist I would also add a setY(0) because else players can start flying

True, and if they hit the wall while facing towards the opposite way, they might get stuck because the velocity will be constantly bumping them towards the wall.

 

Assist Yep
