Supporting a player from afar

[reef forum]

I want to recreate an item from a series where there was a club that could move players wherever it looked. I'll give you an image, although it doesn't have very good graphics.

Since I'm new to scripting, I can't think of anything to do so I just want you to tell me the necessary components.

Get the normalised direction from getViewDirection();
Times this by the
distance you want the target player to be from the player holding the weapon
And then add it to the players pos.
Teleport the player to this pos

@reef forum

U mean u want to teleport the player in different directions ?

This is the command staff in the avg series made by Alan Becker

The point is to control the player

Like to move them where you want

Basically like doing in a repeat, always active command block execute as @a[name='urName'] at @s run tp @a[r=9,name=!'urName'] ^^^7

Now this isn't exactly how it is in the series

As in the series it's an animation where as here it's a simulation

So selecting and throwing players isn't very easy

But this should be some kind of reminder of how you want your script to turn out
