Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.
You can block this bot if you don't want to see these messages, I won't mind.

okay, so im trying to make a momentum system where the player gains momentum when they sprint jump but they have a set limit to speed they cannot pass
the has friction tag is working now
but uh
huh??
bitter python

thick bay
that's equivalent to <=
plain ridge
for some reason <player.is_sprinting> isn't working in this event, so I tried context.state but I think that caused the while loop to fill with while true and now the player speed is constantly incrementing
any idea on how I can accomplish how to increase the player's speed when they are sprinting and set it to the default when they aren't?
(script and log with is_sprinting)
nevermind, ignore that, is_sprinting is working I just had to change it to after instead of on
also, can the thread title be changed to something along the lines of "momentum script"?
(cooldino74) momentum script
nevermind too lol
plain ridge
how do I make a player slide like they're on ice everywhere?
for some reason the has_friction mechanism just is not working

weak wind
have you tried it on any other entities? like a non-player one
plain ridge
no, not yet
weak wind
i was able to get it working with a pig, but I also don't see any effect when it's used on players
ah, that'd be it
it doesn't work with players
weak wind
looks like a player riding a frictionless mob doesn't work either, like a frictionless horse
it'll slide around just not when mounted
plain ridge
any idea on how to recreate the effect?
weak wind
great question
not sure how one would do it efficiently but i guess you could do something like constantly adding velocity to the player in the direction they're facing
not sure how you'd keep it constant or change speeds
plain ridge
hmm
I just wanted the player to slow down when they turned too fast, and ice did that without me needing to do any math
!xyproblem myself aaa
vagrant light
i remember that this works if you mount a player to an amorstand with no friction
mergu did this
weak wind
monkey also suggested
can also disable gravity for the player and put em 0.01 above ground
plain ridge
hmm, the problem with that is that I can't make the player naturally jump/go down
I think ill figure that out later, as its sort of a minor inconvenience I could probably fix later on as I work out the fundamentals
right now, I want to make a custom jump system by adding only upwards velocity to the player without altering their existing velocity
this is what I have right now:
but uh
!t entitytag.velocity

is actually just putting them on ice not a viable solution
plain ridge
is actually just putting them on ice not a viable solution
I was thinking about that
maybe just
-showfake other blocks on ice
plain ridge
oh, I didnt know about that
yeah that would definitely work
yup! yeah ill just go with that tehn
thank you!
plain ridge
back to this, it does not accurately calculate the player clientside movement velocity and doesn't update fast enough (I think?)
it's sort of delayed

end goal is to make a functioning movement script that is fluid and balanced
should I open individual threads for problems?
i've seen people just put all their project problems in one thread, so I thought I would do the same
unkempt needle
a functioning movement script that is fluid and balanced is a meaningless goal sorry
what does it do
thick bay
end goal is to make a functioning movement script that is fluid and balanced
this sounds like corporate buzzword talk lol
unkempt needle
this sounds like corporate buzzword talk lol
yeah exactly
plain ridge
the player can accelerate and gain/maintain speed by doing various things like continously sprinting or jumping
I would like to expand it later to more advanced movements but to get the base established is my goal right now yeah
plain ridge
this sounds like corporate buzzword talk lol
I blame my subconsciousness lmao
I had an image in my mind so it made sense to me so thats why I said that, but yeah I can see how that literally does not describe anything

I uhh
don't think ice physics really does that, no? Minecraft's momentum system is super basic
as in like, you can cap out the speed in 3 seconds by just sprint jumping forward
you'll probably need to do some custom logic to make it effective
should be super simple to do though
plain ridge

yeah this is what im trying to remedy
I would like to create a tag prototype gamemode, and this would be the backbone
it would make it a lot more interesting than "I see player, I chase player"
thick bay
yeah this entire thread has just kind of been a big xy situation
You almost definitely don't want frictionless movement if you want it to feel good
plain ridge
its not frictionless, I think the ice is actually pretty grippy

this again
plain ridge
ice works with less-than-half blocks on top of it, though
and yeah I think this would fix the problem
thick bay
Obviously it's up to you, but generally moving on ice is just annoying for players
i wouldn't do that for a gamemode specifically made for dynamic movement
plain ridge
the player doesn't slide around too much, and it easily fixes a balancing issue
in my opinion, its a win - win
it makes the movement more natural and fluid, like in reality where you don't immediately come to a halt when you stop running
plain ridge
yeah this entire thread has just kind of been a big xy situation
what should I do to fix this?
sorry for the accidental ping
thick bay
include more information about your end goal when you ask questions. Asking 'How can i make this specific mechanism work for me' or 'How can i simulate ice physics always' are answerable questions, but the answers might not actually help you. If you start by telling us that you're trying to make a custom movement system that allows players to build momentum by continuously sprinting or jumping, but lose it when turning quickly will help us give you effective advice
speaking of which
doesn't quickly turning disable sprint?
could be wrong
plain ridge
doesn't quickly turning disable sprint?
nope, lol

I think the turning problem is fixed now though, and now I want to make players gain upwards momentum and speed when they jump
plain ridge
no need for that argument
oop

0.1 is basically nothing
I'd suggest actually multiplying their velocity by 1.1
i think that'd feel nice
plain ridge
0.1 is basically nothing
oh, yeah you're right, but the player is still getting flung
plain ridge
I'd suggest actually multiplying their velocity by 1.1
how should I go about doing this?
I can't figure out how to get the player's velocity
accurately
!t entitytag.velocity
vocal deltaBOT
!t entitytag.velocity
plain ridge
oh, yeah you're right, but the player is still getting flung
I assume because their velocity is also being applied by the x and z factors, which I would like to negate as well
for example, if the player is already going at a speed, I don't want to any part of that, just boost them up
thick bay
oh
then what you're doing should work
just uhh
be super small
try making it 0.4 or something and it'll be noticable
is there some other problem you're encountering
plain ridge
yup
plain ridge
this
please mute it
the velocity tag isn’t updating fast enough I think
if you jump, then turn 180 degrees, then jump again, it will actually push you backwards
thick bay
you don't jump in that video lol
plain ridge
oh, wait
plain ridge
this lol
plain ridge
because you're using last tick's velocity
just tested it, it still doesn't work
I thought it was because the tag wasn't updating fast enough but even with on tick it doesn't functionhttps://paste.denizenscript.com/View/107054
I don't know if the tag is malfunctioning, or i'm applying velocity in the wrong way
!t entitytag.velocity
vocal deltaBOT
!t entitytag.velocity
thick bay
other solution is to do some math
on jump, take location
one tick later, get new location
subtract the two
you have a velocity vector
normalize, multiply, and add
plain ridge
that worked! i'm really happy with the result, thank you again
