I want to implement a picking up and throwing system, need help with push

[hardy coral]

I want a player to pick up and throw another player, I have the picking up system working but I dont know how to apply push in the direction that the vehicle player is looking in to the passenger player

you might be able to do it with vectors, but my thought was push player's passengers in the horizontal (and vertical) direction of the player with speed 0.3

of course clear passengers of player first

[dapper copper]

direction of player is also a vector

Its a direction, iirc with magnitude 1 meaning normalised

[hardy coral]

but wouldn't that push them depending on the player's location, since if you ride another player they're gonna be in the same coords it's not gonna really work right??

atleast I'm assuming

[dapper copper]

? no

[dapper copper]

this gets the (normalised) vector they are facing

not their location

[hardy coral]

oh

[solid valve]

I tried to implement this but it didn't work? This is our code:

    if attacker is sneaking:
        wait 2 ticks
        make the victim ride the attacker
        
on click:
    dismount the passenger from player
    push player's passengers in the direction of the player with speed 0.3 ```

The passenger just dismounts, it doesn't get pushed?

[frank bear]

after you dismount, you dont have a passenger anymore

[solid valve]

Oh

:P

How would we do that though?

[frank bear]

its common sense

store passenger before dismounting

[dapper copper]

^ local var

[solid valve]

Thanks

[hardy coral]

we're complete noobs, sorry

[hardy coral]

how do you do that exactly, set {_player} to player's passenger says it can only be set to one object

[frank bear]

so that means player has multiple passengers thus player's passenger is an array

somehow

Idk how did you manage it

[solid valve]

What??

[hardy coral]

literally didnt do anything 😭

[frank bear]

how many players did you pick up

[solid valve]

1

[frank bear]

weird idk

broadcast "%player's passenger%"

debug

[dapper copper]

make it a list

cause the player could have multiple passengers

[hardy coral]

well its <none> if youre not holding anything and with our system there shouldnt be a way to hold multiple things because when you click it clears the passengers

[hardy coral]

isnt that just adding :: do the end of it

it still says the same error so idk

[dapper copper]

basically

[hardy coral]

    set {_hold::player} to player's passenger
    clear passengers of player
    push player's passengers in the direction of the player with speed 1```

[frank bear]

it shouldnt be none you said it gave an error about multiple objects

[hardy coral]

shrug

[dapper copper]

you are still using a single variable not a list

{_passengers::*}

[hardy coral]

I didnt know about adding * to it

[dapper copper]

you are trying to access a single element in the list with index player

[hardy coral]

I tried it with just ::

[dapper copper]

set this to the passengers expression

[solid valve]

It works!

:D

multiple passengers were added in 1.11 thats why I was confused

≈~ suggests that you read Sovde's List Variable Tutorial

[hardy coral]

it works with mobs but it doesnt work with players

problem

[upbeat oasis]

I tried making it and adding a wait 2 ticks worked for me for some reason

idk why

[hardy coral]

huhh??

[upbeat oasis]

not 1 tick

but 2 ticks

[hardy coral]

ok, cool, gonna have to test that later then

[upbeat oasis]

👍

[hardy coral]

I even tried with a wait 1 tick 😭

[upbeat oasis]

fr it took me a while too to figure it out

[hardy coral]

alright tyyy, it works
