Smooth Teleporting?

Is there any way to teleport a player without them seeing the empty void before the chunks load. I notice this glitch even when teleporting into already loaded chunks. Is there any way to correct this?

It is crucial for my plugin for a player to be teleported into a different location that looks the same without them noticing, but then they find something completely different behind them. muahahaha

I believe that it doesn't matter whether the chunk is loaded-what should matter is whether the chunk is loaded for the client. This is impossible for the server to emulate I believe, unless you send the chunks to the player before the player teleports to the specified chunk.

 

Well I meant client-side loaded chunks
And would it be possible to umm... pre-send the chunks?

Not sure, try packets?

 

You need to refresh the chunk before the player is teleported like so:

Code:java

Chunk chunk = ConfigUtils.getLobbyLocation().getWorld()
                    .getChunkAt(ConfigUtils.getLobbyLocation());
            ConfigUtils.getLobbyLocation().getWorld()
                    .regenerateChunk(chunk.getX(), chunk.getZ());
            Bukkit.getServer()
                    .getScheduler()
                    .scheduleSyncDelayedTask(Confliction.getPlugin(),
                            new Runnable() {
                                public void run() {
                                    p.teleport(ConfigUtils.getLobbyLocation());
                                }
                            }, 2L);

 

After a bit of searching I found a thread with this same problem:

The result was that there is no way to correct this without client side modifications (mods)

 

I feel like I've noticed this behavior is different in the 1.7 client- or is it just me? I actually like the interpolation for my blink spell, so I'm hoping if it's gone there's a way to bring it back.

 

You could simply rapidly teleport them to points along the line to the end point.

 

I feel this is getting off topic
The thread is about finding a way to seamlessly teleport across long distances

 

... Which is not possible if the client doesn't support it. I was suggesting the OP tries the 1.7 client- if it now works the way you want, then is it worth worrying about 1.6?
