Solved Stopping Sprinting! HELP :(

Hi there!

Plain and simple, I'm trying to stop a player from sprinting. Sounds easy, right? Currently I have been able to stop the sprinting, if and only if, they double-tap "w" to sprint. If they use the default left-ctrl key to sprint, the action isn't canceled. I'm beyond confused why the two different methods of sprinting would be registered as different things, and not the same.

Here's my code (in a PlayerMoveEvent listener class):

Code:

if(event.getPlayer().isSprinting())
            event.getPlayer().setSprinting(false);

Like I said, this code doesn't stop left-ctrl sprinting, but it does stop double-tap "w" sprinting. Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks

 

PlayerToggleSprintEvent

 

I feel stupid for not knowing that even existed. haha. But I gave it a go. Here's what I have so far:

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onSprint(PlayerToggleSprintEvent event){
        event.setCancelled(true);
    }

I also tried

if(event.isSprinting())
event.setCancelled(true);

if(event.isSprinting())
event.getPlayer().setSprinting(false);

if(event.getPlayer().isSprinting())
event.getPlayer().setSprinting(false);

if(event.getPlayer().isSprinting())
event.setCancelled(true);

None of the above seem to work though.

 

Try debugging.
Also try

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onSprint(PlayerToggleSprintEvent event){
        event.getPlayer().setSprinting(false);
    }

 

I'm sorry to say that even event.getPlayer().setSprinting(false) didn't work either. It's almost like this event is useless.

 

Did you register your events?
Or else use PlayerMoveEvent :/

 

That was the first thing I checked, having made this blind mistake before. Everything is registered and seems to be set up correctly. The only problem with PlayerMoveEvent is it can't seem to block the left-ctrl sprinting, so we're back to the original problem unfortunately. :/

 

@GamingMeatheadHD Why not try giving the player slowness while sprinting?

 

@GamingMeatheadHD I've heard that sprinting was handled by client only in 1.7 (or something like that, either way breaking sprint checks). Set the player's food level so they can't sprint is my only suggestion.

 

Both of these are probably possible ways to get around it. They just don't sound very clean, ya know? Kinda like just putting a bandaid over the problem rather than fixing it, yet these may be the only solutions unfortunately. Thanks for the ideas!

 

You could try to create a scheduleSyncDelayedTask with 0L. This worked for me.

 

Interesting. And simply just loop through all online players setting sprint to false? Good idea.

 

@GamingMeatheadHD

Try this :

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void sprintEvent(PlayerToggleSprintEvent sv) {
        final Player sprinter = sv.getPlayer();
        if (sv.isSprinting()) {
            Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(yourPluginName, new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    sprinter.setSprinting(false);
                }
            }, 0L);
        }
    }

 

@GamingMeatheadHD
I don't think there is a clean way of doing so.
I'm also using the control key to sprint because normally when you hit somebody in combat you will stop sprinting but pressing the control key will override this and makes you sprint again. So I'm guessing with Player#setSprinting you just stop sprinting but it will instantly be overridden by the client. You can also notice this when holding control and running against a block. At first you will stop sprinting but then jump up the block and you should notice that you instantly begin to sprint when touching the ground again. This isn't the case when you sprint by pressing double w

 

This works well with double-tap w sprinting, but left-ctrl still is unaffected.

It looks like you may be right. I don't know if there's any way to stop this without manipulating hunger or adding slowness.

Ultimately, I decided to go with just setting the food level to 1. It bugs me having to do that. It doesn't seem as professional as it could be, but it works. Thanks for everyone's input!

I just got the idea that you could decrease their walk speed if they begin to sprint. Also set it back to 1 when they stop sprinting.
So the food level wouldn't be so annoying

 

@MexMaster I don't think walk speed affects sprint speed.

 

@teej107 You are sure? I thought Essentials does so with the command /speed <0-10> and it also changes sprint speeds

 

@MexMaster I'm not certain but it wouldn't be hard to find out.

 

I actually tried this method first. It didn't affect the sprinting unfortunately.
