setting pitch

hello,
i have a problem with setting pitch of player.

code:

Code:

if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("pitch"))
        {
        p.getLocation().setPitch(2);
        p.sendMessage("You've changed your pitch!");
        }

it does nothing except send the message.
please help
thank you.

 

StickyMan Try changing it from

Code:

p.getLocation().setPitch(2);

To

Code:

                Location pitch = p.getLocation();
                pitch.setPitch(2);

 

it doesn't work

 

StickyMan Then you can't set a pitch …. if you don't mind me asking why are you trying to set pitch ?

 

player.getLocation() (actually getLocation() for any entity) returns a copy of the player's location, not the actual location object. So just changing the pitch of the object you get won't affect the player. You need to follow up with a player.setLocation(pitch);

 

getLocation() returns an Location Object. If you change this it will never affect the player.
Use this:

Code:

 
if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("pitch"))
{
     p.teleport(p.getLocation().setPitch(2));
     p.sendMessage("You've changed your pitch!");
}
 

 

desht
but there is no really p.setlocation method except teleport the player

 

StickyMan
And what's about my code ?

sorry for double.
it dosen't work it says to me to rename it in the file

 

Yeah, sorry; use player.teleport(pitch) - that should work fine.

PHP:

Location pitch = p.getLocation();
pitch.setPitch(2);
p.teleport(pitch);


 

desht
it dosen't seems to work it says rename in file.
and i can't make a pitch as a location.

 

Than you can rename an variable. p should be the Player who used this command

Btw it would be better if you say WHAT shall be renamed

 

desht
it's only makes my player look front but dosen't change the pitch

 

There are two variables : Yaw and Pitch.
Maybe you want to change the yaw ? Or both ?

what is the f? (in yellow in the picture)

 

I believe it's the Facing, the rotation of the Player-Body.

 

StickyMan
Pitch and yaw are in angles, that value is a number representing N/S/E/W, the number in the paranthesis is what you need, -178, which you need to use on yaw, not pitch.

 

The '2' there is just the major compass direction the player is facing - it ranges from 0..3 for the four compass points. The -178.75244 is the player's yaw, -180 being due north. The player's pitch (up/down facing) is not shown at all by F3.

StickyMan if you're getting errors, we need to see your full code. You clearly have a syntax error in your code somewhere.
