applyKnockback ()

[long oasis]

how can I make applyKnockback () always take me to the height I want, e.g. 256?

code generated by chatGPT:

import {world, Vector} from "@minecraft/server";

world.events.beforeItemUseOn.subscribe((data)=>{
  const {source} = data;
  const playerLocation = source.location.y;
  const targetLocation = 256;
  if (playerLocation > 0) {
    const difference = targetLocation - playerLocation; // calculate the height difference in blocks
    const currentBlockY = Math.floor(playerLocation); // convert the player's current height to block coordinates
    const magnitude = difference * 16; // calculate the magnitude of the required vertical impulse in height units
    const targetBlockY = currentBlockY + magnitude; // calculate the target height in block coordinates
    source.applyKnockback(1, 1, 0, targetBlockY); // apply the vertical impulse in block coordinates
  }
});

does not work

there is no y

i think vertical thing is for y

u can solve this with right triangle equation
