Solved Get location relative to return double ?

Need a little math help:

If I were to get a relative block location to a player, how can I return it as a double? Basically, I want to teleport a player one block behind, but it will return the relative block coordinates as integers, not spawning the player exactly one block behind.

Example:

Player is at Z location -294.59042
I want to get the Z location behind the player at -295.59042
But the below code will only return -296.0 (rounds it up, which makes it even more confusing...)

Code:java

 
//the backward variable gets the blockface behind the player
player.getLocation().getBlock().getRelative(backward).getLocation().getX()

You can use Math.round(double) to round it. There are also corresponding functions that always round up or down in the same class.

 

Keep in mind you're getting the location of the block, not the player (second .getLocation call).

 

Created a lengthy method but it does the job:

Code:java

 
  public Location getRelativeLocation(Player player, String direction) {
     Location location = player.getLocation();
     String facingDirection = getDirection(player);
     if(facingDirection.equalsIgnoreCase("north")) {
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("forward")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ() - 1, location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("backward")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ() + 1, location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("left")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX() - 1, location.getY(), location.getZ(), location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("right")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX() + 1, location.getY(), location.getZ(), location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
     }
     if(facingDirection.equalsIgnoreCase("east")) {
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("forward")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX() + 1, location.getY(), location.getZ(), location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("backward")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX() - 1, location.getY(), location.getZ(), location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("left")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ() - 1, location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("right")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ() + 1, location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
     }
     if(facingDirection.equalsIgnoreCase("south")) {
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("forward")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ() + 1, location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("backward")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ() - 1, location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("left")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX() + 1, location.getY(), location.getZ(), location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("right")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX() - 1, location.getY(), location.getZ(), location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
     }
     if(facingDirection.equalsIgnoreCase("west")) {
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("forward")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX() - 1, location.getY(), location.getZ(), location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("backward")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX() + 1, location.getY(), location.getZ(), location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("left")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ() + 1, location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
       if(direction.equalsIgnoreCase("right")) { return new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ() - 1, location.getYaw(), location.getYaw()); }
     }
     return null;
   }
