[SOLVED] [1.11.2] Any way to "Stun" the player

[Alanzote]

I've been looking on a way to "stun" the player. I created this tile entity that teleports players around, however, it takes a while to "cast" in order to teleport, is there any way to keep the player from moving during this "cast"?

 

EDIT: It takes a while to transport the player because of the nice sound it has

 

Thanks,

You could set EntityPlayer#motionX, EntityPlayer#motionY and EntityPlayer#motionZ to zero every tick of the tile entity. Beware that this needs to be done on the client.

I got to keep 1 variable synced in the client and in the server, I forgot how to do that

 

Edit: Networking messages?

You need to tell the player's client that they're not allowed to move.  The entity motionX/Y/Z values don't actually do anything on the server with regards to the player.

 

Couple ways to potentially handle it:

1) intercept/cancel the input during the keypress event

2) prevent the motion the key input causes (I believe that this would be the entity motionX/Y/Z values)

3) This wouldn't require custom packets at all: hit the player with X seconds of Slowness 7.

Because you are doing this in a tile entity you can also make a server side countdown for the cast and when the player first arrives at the tile entity (before the cast) and after the cast completed, you change a boolean and call notifyBlockUpdate() (I think that is what it is called) to sync the changed boolean to the client.

Slowness 7 worked, but it adds an effect in the screen, which, kind of removes the seen particle effects that the tileentity spawns.

The notifyBlockUpdate() function does not exist, there is a notify() and notifyAll() function, but I don't think I understand what those do.

[XFactHD]

The methods notify() and notifyAll() are from java.lang.Object.class. The method needs parameters I mentioned has parameters.

[Alanzote]

Uh... I am unable to find a function to sync the data. According to eclipse, the notify() and notifyAll() (java.lang.Object.class) have no parameters and no return values.

The methods notify() and notifyAll() are from java.lang.Object.class. The method needs parameters I mentioned has parameters.

 

And because they're from the Object class, they will totally do what you need them to.

(Hint: no they won't because vanilla hasn't overridden them to do anything)

 

If you don't want the FOV change then you'll have to use methods 1 or 2 that I suggested.  You'll need to use packets.

Yeah, I noticed. It is jus a matter for implementing my own message then, I did it before.

I was wondering if there was another way without the use of messages, but, there isn't.

 

Thanks for the help,
