How to send a packet to the client?

I was wondering how to do this, I searched through past threads and there don't seem to be any exams and Bukkits API isn't very useful. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

Pretty sure you can do it this way :

Code:

((CraftPlayer)player).getHandler().netServerHandler.sendPacket( packet );

 

Alright that looks good thank you. For the packet what would I put?
Would it just be something like:

PHP:

((CraftPlayer)player).getHandler().netServerHandler.sendPacket(Packet51MapChunk);//For example?

 

Code:

Packet51MapChunk packet = new Packet51MapChunk(...);
((CraftPlayer)player).getHandler().netServerHandler.sendPacket(packet);

 

Thank you, I realise this may be fustrating but I've never ever handled these packets before so would you mind telling me what to put inside the ... Thank you.

 

Look in mc-dev and the modified minecraft code from craftbukkit

 

Link?

 

Pretty sure it's this:

Code:

new Packet51MapChunk( x, y, z, sizex, sizey, sizez, world);

sizex and sizez should be 15 and sizey should be 127

 

so @Adamki11s you're trying to make a force chunk load plugin?

Not really, I see why you got that assumption though
Someone requested it a while ago as I get annoyed with teleporting and every chunk loads except the one I'm standing on. I managed to update on the server but I needed a way to force the client to update.

I really just want to know how to do this for future reference though.

 

exactly, a force chunk load plugin, lol.

"force the client to update."

 

I'm not actually making it a plugin I'm just learning how to do it....

 

Oh, well now you know somewhat

 

Eeeh, it is a basic constructor.

And use the MCP to see how it is called. Easy.
