    Hey guys, is it possible to cancel the arm swing animation of a player? I tried it with the PlayerAnimationEvent, but cancelling that one didn't work for me... Or do I have to use ProtocolLib to catch the animation packet?

    Has no one any ideas?

    It's fairly simple - just check for the ANIMATION id and cancel the packet:
    Code:java
    1. public class ExampleMod extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
    2. @Override
    3. public void onEnable() {
    4. ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().addPacketListener(
    5. new PacketAdapter(this, ConnectionSide.SERVER_SIDE, Packets.Server.ARM_ANIMATION) {
    6. @Override
    7. public void onPacketSending(PacketEvent event) {
    8. // This is the entity whose arm has just moved
    9. Entity entity = event.getPacket().getEntityModifier(event.getPlayer().getWorld()).read(0);
    10. int animation = event.getPacket().getIntegers().read(1);
    11.  
    12. // See if this is a "move arm" action
    13. if (animation == 1) {
    14. event.setCancelled(true);
    15. }
    16. }
    17. });
    18. }
    19. }
     
  3. Comphenix I tried this with the latest version of MC (1.6.4) and ProtocolLib but it doesn't seem to send the animation packet. Do you know if anything has changed?

    It shouldn't.

    But keep in mind that you can't stop the subtle idle animation (arms swinging), only these specific animations.
     
  5. I am trying to stop the player attack animation but when I register the protocol listener and add a breakpoint the breakpoint wont fire. Also when I do /packet add server 18 true it wont show any packets being send by the server.

    I am using the exact code (copy pasted) from above.

    Do you have any other players connected to the server?

    You can only prevent animations seen on other players, not your own client.
     
  7. Oh, too bad. I was trying to prevent the player from seeing that he has swung his arm.
    Well thanks anyways.
