Trouble passing player position from the client to the server

[jagged vector]

I've gotten part of network events figured out, but I can't figure out why the player's position isn't being passed to the server. It prints fine on the client, but prints undefined on the server, so something is being lost in translation when sendData is used...

//CLIENT (In startup scripts)
if (Platform.clientEnvironment) {
    ForgeEvents.onEvent("net.minecraftforge.client.event.ScreenEvent$Opening", event => {
        if (Client.player) {

            Client.player.tell("Something happened with the screen, ayo? " + event.currentScreen + " -> " + event.newScreen)

            let startPos = Client.player.position()

            Client.player.tell(startPos)
            
            //SEND MESSAGE TO SERVER
            Client.player.sendData('packetname', { positioningData: startPos })


            }
    })
}

//SERVER
NetworkEvents.dataReceived('packetname', event =>{

    const { positioningData } = event.data

    //PRINT DEBUGGING
    console.log('Received client packet')
    console.log(positioningData)

})

maybe try sending the x y z instead

you can't send arbitrary objects using packets (at least when making mods, idk if kjs serializes it)

wait have you tried logging the event.data?

Paste version of config.js from @distant wasp

first is client script, second is server script

• player logs in
• server sends client an empty packet
• client gets that packet
• client checks some arbitrary config value (it was for a quest)
• client sends a packet with a boolean to the server
• server gets that packet
• server checks the boolean, and does stuff

you can probably only send primitives and strings

let me check actually

hm ok so no

isnt it event.player.senddata?

Gonna try splitting the pos into x, y, z after this next test

Nvm, suffering from sensory overload. Be back a bit later

And we're back at it

at STARTUP

//STARTUP
if (Platform.isClientEnvironment()){
  ForgeEvents.onEvent("net.minecraftforge.client.event.ScreenEvent$Opening", event => {
    if (Client.player) {
      Client.player.tell("Something happened with the screen, ayo? " + event.currentScreen + " -> " + event.newScreen)
      let startPos = Client.player.blockPosition()
      Client.player.tell("Client: " + startPos)
      //SEND MESSAGE TO SERVER
      Client.player.sendData('packetname', { positioningData: startPos.asLong() })
    }
  })
}

at SERVER

NetworkEvents.dataReceived('packetname', event =>{
  const { positioningData } = event.data
  //PRINT DEBUGGING
  console.log('Received client packet')
  event.player.tell("Server: " + BlockPos.of(positioningData))
})

Oh wow, ty, trying it out

It works... Thank you so much
