Can anyone tell me how?
#how do I apply knockback in the movement direction of an entity?
dark monolith
restive basalt
@dark monolith
const direction = entity.getVelocity();
entity.applyKnockback(direction.x,direction.z,1.25,0.3);
the 2nd last parameter is how far back it gets knocked back and the last one is how far up

Ah, thx, and how would I set the entity velocity of the player to 1 in that direction?

Ah, thx, and how would I set the entity velocity of the player to 1 in that dire...
what do you want to be 1?
length of a vector?
dark monolith
length of a vector?
I think so
So basically speed is 1
Not sure how to say, but I want it same like set velocity
Ig setImpulse doesn't work on players
restive basalt
Ig setImpulse doesn't work on players
oh if you want that specifically then somebody has made setvelocity for players using knockback already
i cant remember who or where it was tho

const direction = entity.getVelocity();

but ig with this setup just do 1 for horizontalStrength and it should work idk
maybe something else idk how the calcs work on knockback tbh
dark monolith
oh if you want that specifically then somebody has made setvelocity for players ...
Really?
The question is where
restive basalt
The question is where
i think i saw it on bedrock oss server
dark monolith
Hmm

const setVelocity = function(vector) {
const horizontal = Math.sqrt(vector.x * vector.x + vector.z * vector.z) * 2.0;
this.applyKnockback(vector.x, vector.z, horizontal, vector.y < 0.0 ? 0.5 * vector.y : vector.y);
};
Player.prototype.setVelocity = setVelocity;
Entity.prototype.setVelocity = setVelocity;```ah

How do I get the movement direction vector btw?
do you want it to launch the player based off where they're moving so like W A S D, or like in the direction they're looking at?
->player.applyKnockback(player.getVelocity().x * 2, player.getVelocity().z * 2, 35, 2);
that's what I did and it works
->if (player.getVelocity().x != 0 || player.getVelocity().z != 0) { player.applyKnockback(player.getVelocity().x * 2, player.getVelocity().z * 2, 35, 2); }
you could do that, if you want it to only happen if you have any movement

How do I get the movement direction vector btw?
entity.setVelocity(Vector.multiply(entity.getVelocity(), 10))
here's an improved version of the one I recently made. Which now does it, for other mobs, instead of the player. It also only works if the mob is on the ground, so it doesn't constantly keep knocking the mob back...
whole bronze
i dont think its about kb
unreal granite
I mean, the title says other wise lol
whole bronze
all i know is that they have different inputs
unreal granite
but they pretty much do the same thing
dark monolith
wait wait wait
im confused now
whats correct?
i thought entity velocity normalized is entity movement vector
@whole bronze @unreal granite
unreal granite
now I'm confused
entity.getVelocity() is for how fast something is traveling I'm pretty sure
unreal granite
entity.getVelocity() is for how fast something is traveling I'm pretty sure
which means it'll work for any direction
whole bronze
i thought entity velocity normalized is entity movement vector
ya, if u want 1 then just use the velocity
oh w8, ye, its not 1 magnitude
mb
use Vector and normalize it ig
dark monolith
use Vector and normalize it ig
ah, i just use this on entity getVelocity right?
dark monolith
which means it'll work for any direction
ye, but also direction
when normalize its just direction
unreal granite
huh
unreal granite
ye, but also direction
wdym, didn't you want it to be based off which direction you're moving in
or an entity
dark monolith
wdym, didn't you want it to be based off which direction you're moving in
just want to get movement direction
dw
unreal granite
The one I sent earlier does that already
See this
and you can change it however you like
lemme know if that works for you ig
if you use it, make sure it doesn't detect items, because for me it broke, and gave me errors
so replace minecraft:player with minecraft:item
dark monolith
Oh, but get velocity also returns speed
unreal granite
true
dark monolith
So when just want to have the vector without speed u just need to normalize it
import {
system,
world,
Player,
Entity,
Vector
} from "@minecraft/server";
const setVelocity = function(vector) {
const horizontal = Math.sqrt(vector.x * vector.x + vector.z * vector.z) * 2.0;
this.applyKnockback(vector.x, vector.z, horizontal, vector.y < 0.0 ? 0.5 * vector.y : vector.y);
};
Player.prototype.setVelocity = setVelocity;
Entity.prototype.setVelocity = setVelocity;
let timer
let level
let oldRot
system.runInterval(() => {
world.getAllPlayers().forEach((player) => {
if (player.oldRot == undefined) {
player.oldRot = player.getRotation();
}
if (player.level == undefined) {
player.level = 0;
}
if (player.timer == undefined) {
player.timer = 0;
}
player.timer++
if (player.timer == 5) {
player.level = 0;
player.timer = 0;
}
if (player.isJumping){
player.timer = 0;
let newRot = player.getRotation();
let difference = newRot.y - player.oldRot.y;
player.oldRot = player.getRotation();
if (difference >= 45 || difference <= -45) {
if (player.level != 3) {
player.level++
}
let movementVec = Vector.normalized(player.getVelocity());
let newVelocity = ((player.level-1)*1);
const vec = Vector.multiply(movementVec, newVelocity);
player.setVelocity(vec);
}
}
});
}, 2);
Damn, the bot doesn't work
@unreal granite sorry for pinging, but do u see any errors?
unreal granite
hmm, what does the console say in game, like does it give you a specific line that could be breaking the script?
dark monolith
I haven't tried yet
unreal granite
try that

@dark monolith look at this ↑ and you had many mistake in code, I think

I already added a lot
