k
dawn plaza
that should work perfectly fine
pure junco
no it doesn't
dawn plaza
that means you made a mistake somewhere else
deep kite
Ugh
dawn plaza
so you're telling me, all this time that ive been using this, it was wrong?
remote fjord
didn't @deep kite rant something about circular LoS?
dawn plaza
it always worked perfectly fine
pure junco
dawn plaza
yeah i think i know what the problem might be
deep kite
Location eye = player.getEyeLocation();
Vector direction = eye.getDirection().normalize();
double distance = (selection.depth + selection.width) / 4D;
Location distBlock = eye.clone().add(direction.clone().multiply(5 + distance));
let's break down some variables
dawn plaza
could u please send the entire function?
deep kite
are you braindead
dawn plaza
me?
dawn plaza
guess i am
pure junco
but you can see the problem right?
deep kite
I mean
I see what you're trying to do
and this approach is "good enough", you're just snapping a block to the client's LOS
pure junco
thats not good enough as im literally tilting away all the time when im seeing this
deep kite
Just for some general info, what's the depth and width you're using?
pure junco
its the width and depth of my schematic
deep kite
and are you rounding stuff or just calling getBlock().setType
pure junco
but it's irrelevant here, as the same problem occurs when just using 5
pure junco
and are you rounding stuff or just calling getBlock().setType
im directly calling player.sendBlockChange on it
deep kite
Okay
remote fjord
perhaps it might be a better approach to just test this code by spawning a particle at the given location?
If that works then it is the position -> block logic that is a bit unfortunate
pure junco
instead of sending a block change sending a particle?
deep kite
by not rounding we can assure it's not an issue with your math :p
deep kite
player#spawnParticle(location, ParticleType.something, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)
pure junco
does not exist
deep kite
are you working on 1.8 or something
deep kite
flip the particle and location args
should be this one
by adding all those 0's you ensure there's no random velocity
which looks awful
remote fjord
Could you show a video so we could have an idea what is going on?
deep kite
show code you're rounding shit
pure junco
wait imma spawn the particle directly
dawn plaza
BRO NAH
it spawns directly at my fucking crosshair
u trolling right?
@EventHandler
public void e(PlayerInteractEvent e){
if(e.getAction() != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR && e.getAction() != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) return;
Player p = e.getPlayer();
if(p.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getType() != Material.DIAMOND_HORSE_ARMOR) return;
Location l = p.getEyeLocation().add(p.getEyeLocation().getDirection().multiply(5));
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(Utils.locationToString(l, 1));
p.spawnParticle(Particle.FLAME, l, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
ew 1 letter variables
pure junco
^
deep kite
where am I rounding?
it would be cool if you showed us more than 4 lines of code
deep kite
it does
pseudo geode
doesn't matter
it does
pure junco
it would be cool if you showed us more than 4 lines of code
yeah im on it
deep kite
bad habits
deep kite
still bad habits
dawn plaza
ill use full letter variables next time
pseudo geode
one day you'll try smoking because you're just trying
pure junco
Location distBlock = player.getEyeLocation().add(player.getEyeLocation().getDirection().normalize().multiply(5 + (selection.depth + selection.width)/4D));
System.out.println("distBlock=" + distBlock.getX() + ";" + distBlock.getY() + ";" + distBlock.getZ());
if(latest == null) {
latest = selection.show(player, distBlock, player.getFacing(), true);
return;
}
for(SchematicBlock block : latest) player.sendBlockChange(new Location(player.getWorld(), block.getX(), block.getY(), block.getZ()), Material.AIR.createBlockData());
latest = selection.show(player, distBlock, player.getFacing(), true);
it might not end well
dawn plaza
```java
Location distBlock = player.getEyeLocation().add(player....
why make new location?
when u calculate it already??
deep kite
```java
Location distBlock = player.getEyeLocation().add(player....
separate that into multiple variables
dawn plaza
or am i stupid
deep kite
when u calculate it already??
SchematicBlock doesn't store world
dawn plaza
ah
pure junco
^
dawn plaza
also the code for vectors i provided spawns particle pin point on crosshair >:(
pure junco
public ArrayList<SchematicBlock> show(Player player, Location center, BlockFace direction, boolean replaceAir) {
ArrayList<SchematicBlock> blocks = render(center, direction, replaceAir);
if(blocks == null) return null;
for(SchematicBlock block : blocks) {
player.sendBlockChange(new Location(player.getWorld(), block.getX(), block.getY(), block.getZ()), block.getBlockdata());
}
return blocks;
}
let's see if by I remaking it, it worky
pure junco
u need render too?
dawn plaza
pure junco
bro you know I already know the particle is on crosshair and im rounding?
why u constantly telling us that?
deep kite
Location eye = player.getEyeLocation();
Vector direction = eye.getDirection().normalize();
double distance = (selection.depth + selection.width) / 4D;
Location distBlock = eye.clone().add(direction.clone().multiply(5 + distance));
// debug
player.spawnParticle(Particle.FLAME, distBlock, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
if(latest != null) {
BlockData airData = Material.AIR.createBlockData();
for(SchematicBlock block : latest) {
Location blockLocation = new Location(player.getWorld(), block.getX(), block.getY(), block.getZ());
player.sendBlockChange(blockLocation, airData);
}
}
latest = selection.show(player, distBlock, player.getFacing(), true);
uhmmm what??
deep kite
```java
Location distBlock = player.getEyeLocation().add(player....
try that instead of whatever this is
should make it a bit cleaner
pure junco
```java
Location eye = player.getEyeLocation();
Vector direction = eye.getDirect...
that draws the latest schematic position not the new one
pure junco
imma just try out
pure junco
does not work now
deep kite
and you copypasted my code block exactly?
pure junco
yes
deep kite
because that's very odd
pure junco
then the issue seems to be in render()
since it gets the center passed and returns the blocks
wait method too big lol
Literally gonna throw bricks against the window rn. Already tying to fix this simple issue the whole damn afternoon
tired ibex
o.o
tired ibex
https://paste.md-5.net/imuxoqifak.java
is this where selection comes from?
also could explain why you divide selection by 4? o.O
pure junco
Just a constant
pure junco
is this where selection comes from?
Yes
tired ibex
and I assume
that when you were showing the block in the vide
that what you are trying to make like showing the player it will get placed before they place it?
pure junco
Yes
tired ibex
then...
the entire math is wrong
jk, not all of it lol
but selection is not even important for anything
it shouldn't even be part of the math except to express magnitude
that is the bigger it is, the further away it is so player can see it
because that is what you wanted
sqrt(selection.depth*selection.depth + selection.width*selection.width)
this gives you the magnitude of the selection
pure junco
Idk and care right now tho bc I gotta fix the issue first lol
Im gonna look at that later, first gotta get it working at all
tired ibex
double mag = sqrt(selection.depth*selection.depth + selection.width*selection.width);
Vector awayDistance = player.getEyeLocation.getDirection().multiply(mag);
Location blockLocationAway = awayDistance.toLocation();
this will give you a location relative to the size of the schematic
pure junco
bro
tired ibex
from this location, you can center your schematic
