(ikuria) how would you create a drone?

[solar forge]

would you bring the player into spectator mode?
attach/mount him to a happy_ghast and make it invisible? (problem here is the still visible harness)
attach the model to the player?
is there any kind of example script, to fiddle around with?

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.

[short wren]

i mean

technically

you could make them spectate an invisible armor stand

and then move the armor stand

[spiral pagoda]

Yes.

[spiral pagoda]

thought to mention @gentle karma also - you might take interest in the above for your project you shared with me (and like, five? others who failed to do your puzzle at the time lol)

[gentle karma]

my lerp method didnt wrap angles correctly thats all

i've made it quadratic not linear now

but i will look into the display entity thing

seems smoother

[solar forge]

mhm, but you get that same with the player controlling himself?

Try it and see!

If somebody pulled this up for you, you're probably asking a question of the public channel that's easier and faster to figure out by just attempting your idea in-game and looking at the result of that attempt.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

from, my understanding, mounting an armor_stand will give you a locked perspective, however - yes

and then from there:

you can determine cancelled if they are attempting to dismount

[gentle karma]

why is the teleport duration so small

0-59 ticks i presume

[spiral pagoda]
