Getting and setting the pitch of a vector?

I have these 2 vectors.

Code:java

p.setVelocity(new Vector(p.getLocation().getDirection().getX(), 1.5, p.getLocation().getDirection().getZ()));
p.setVelocity(p.getEyeLocation().getDirection().multiply(5));

The first vector propels the player into the air, while the second vector is supposed to send them slamming into the ground. However, the second vector could potentially serve as a second jump. To prevent this, I would like to check if the player's pitch if less than 40, and if it is, set it to 40. Unfortunately I have no idea how to set the pitch of a vector...

 

r0llingthund3r In terms of getting, I think this may be useful:

(see the very bottom part)
In terms of setting, you can then turn it into a location with the pitch/yaw, set it, then convert it back into a vector.

 

DJSkepter That is an excellent idea. Thank you very much for the help and apologies for the late reply.

 

r0llingthund3r can't you just get the Player's pitch from the Location object?

 

fireblast709 The title is poorly worded. I knew how to get the pitch I just didn't know how to apply it to my vector.

 

r0llingthund3r since you have a Location object, use setPitch followed by getDirection(), and let Bukkit do the math
