I figured i'd ask here because you guys have awesome support. I'm trying to spawn fake falling block packets, to give the appearance of a full block, but that players can walk through. However when I spawn it with ProtocolLib it appears as a shadow for a split second then is gone. Any idea how I can get it to stay? Or a different way I can achieve this?

Command: ShowFake

Short Description

Description

Makes the player see a block change that didn't actually happen.
This means that the server will still register the block being what it was before the command,
and players not included in the command will still see the original block.

You must specify a location (or list of locations), and a material (or list of materials).
The material list does not have to be of the same size as the location list (materials will be repeated automatically).

Optionally, specify a list of players to show the ch...

a showfake would actually be solid for the targeted player(s), maybe a better approach to this would be spawning invisible armor stands equipped with the block on their heads

ionic stump Jan 20, 2023, 11:49 PM

I'll try that

I also thought of maybe using a ModelEngine entity with textures that just look like the block

no need to use meg tbh its a pretty simple task

that is, if it'll be static

#

in this scenario, if you want players to be able to walk through the faked blocks and have it entirely clientside, showfake wouldn't be the command you want

Makes the player see a fake entity spawn that didn't actually happen.
This means that the server will not track the entity, and players not included in the command will not see the entity.

You must specify an entity to spawn and a location to spawn it at, or to remove a fake entity, specify the fake entity object and 'cancel' instead of a location.

I got it working with a fake model engine entity meant to look like the block

#

mad because 1.20 is adding something to do exactly that lmfao

#

I have a new question though, how on earth do I have a MythicMob/ModelEngine entity move where I want it to go?

#

I'm just trying to get this mob to walk to a location, but it appears that's a big task in nms, and I can't seem to find a mythic mobs method

#

We had another developer who specializes in making denizen scripts write us something
For specific reasons we need more control over it, and I don't know Denizen so I'm just trying to make it in a spigot plugin

This is the line in Denizen, so i figured you guys would know
- ~walk <[mob]> <[target].backward[2]>

ionic stump mad because 1.20 is adding something to do exactly that lmfao

are you sure it's 1.20 or is it 1.19.4

ionic stump Feb 13, 2023, 7:51 AM

#

honestly not sure, it's in an upcoming update

#

Wasn't aware they were planning 1.19.4

#

How does this Denizen script even work

#

It uses "mythicspawn" and then calls a walk command

#

which it appears uses Citizens to manage moving the entity

#

It's a mythic mob confusion

im confused now

#

is this a denizen question or is it too offtopic to categorize it as a denizen issue

ionic stump Feb 13, 2023, 7:59 AM

#

I re-used this forum thread I noticed I still had

I think this is mostly a Denizen question, but only because in my quest to move this damn mob, i'm confused how this script is doing it lol

#

I'm hoping If I learn how the script does it, I can do it in code, perhaps using Denizen or something

#

This was my thought process:

I can't figure out how to move this mob, the nms is tricky, let me see how our Denizen script does it (we hired someone to write it)
I notice it uses the commands mythicspawn and walk
I looked into the source for the walk command, and noticed it relied on Citizens npcs

Now i'm confused because it clearly spawns a MythicMob, yet still uses the walk command (and works) lol

Causes an entity or list of entities to walk to another location.

Specify a destination location to walk to, or 'stop' to stop all walking.

Optionally, specify a "speed:<#.#>" argument to control the speed of the NPCs.

Optionally, specify "auto_range" to automatically set the path range for the walk instruction
(if not specified, an NPC will not be able to walk to a location outside of its existing path range, by default 25 blocks).

- walk <npc> <npc.anchor[spot2]> auto_range

Use to make the NPC walk to an anchored position while looking backwards.

- walk <npc> <npc.anchor[spot3]> lookat:<npc.anchor[spot2]>

Use to make the NPC walk to an anchored position, and then say something after arrival, using ~waitable syntax.

- ~walk <npc> <npc.anchor[spot4]>
- chat "I'm here!"

Use to make a list of NPCs stored in a flag all move together, with a flocking radius based on the number of NPCs included.
