Solved Infinite Elytra Flight

Hello everybody, its me, Mario! No, actually, its me, MisterMel.
So im creating a minigame where players have to use their elytra to fly around, and i want them
to be able to fly upwards. I dindt find a good way to do this, so does anybody how to do it?
- MisterMel (No, not Mario)

 

@MisterMel
* Check if the player is using it
* If the player is using the elytra, then enable fly. if not, return

Wouldnt this work? Im not sure if there is an custom event for the elytra since i havent tried programming with anything newer than 1.8

 

No, that doesnt work. .setAllowFlight doesnt actually influence flying with the elytra.

 

The way I would do this:

In the PlayerMoveEvent I would check if the player is gliding, then I would use velocity to gain more speed again. How is up to you

 

@MrGeneralQ
Thank you! This works. The way im doing it is as follows: (For other people that have the same problem)

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent e) {
        if(e.getPlayer().isGliding()) {
            e.getPlayer().setVelocity(e.getPlayer().getLocation().getDirection().multiply(0.7f));
        }
    }

I still have to play around with the speed for a bit, but this works pretty good.

 

Glad I could help Please mark your post as solved

 

@MrGeneralQ
Woops, sorry forgot to do that. Marked it as solved now.
