Solved Making armor stand rotate

So I'm trying to make my "balloon" rotate slowly instead of looking the direction I'm looking at (this is how it looks like atm)

picture (open) picture (close)

works fine now

and here is the code

 

By getting the player's location, you area also getting their yaw and pitch. If you want to slow the change, set the yaw and pitch to be some average of the two values every time the runnable is called.

 

@Zombie_Striker I tried playing around with that and seeing that i get but i don't think I'm doing it correctly

 

@360_
What have you tried? Can you post your code?

 

@Zombie_Striker I tried this

Code:

 @EventHandler
        public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
            Player p = e.getPlayer();
            if ((e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) && (p.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.PRISMARINE_SHARD)) {
                Location loc = p.getLocation();
                ArmorStand armorStand = (ArmorStand) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getLocation().add(0, 2.5, 0), EntityType.ARMOR_STAND);
                Chicken rab = (Chicken) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getLocation().add(0, 2.5, 0), EntityType.CHICKEN);
                ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.TNT, 1);
                    armorStand.setHelmet(skull);
                    armorStand.setVisible(false);
                    armorStand.setGravity(false);
                    armorStand.setBasePlate(false);
                    rab.setLeashHolder(p);
                    armorStand.getEquipment().setHelmet(skull);
                    rab.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.INVISIBILITY,70000, 2));
                    p.sendMessage("§7Toggled balloon");
                    //Animation
                    new BukkitRunnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            if (p == null || !p.isOnline()) {
                                cancel();
                                return;
                            }
                            rab.teleport(p.getLocation().add(0 , 3.0, 0));
                           armorStand.teleport(p.getLocation().add(0 , 2.3, 0));
                           armorStand.getLocation().setPitch(2);
                           armorStand.getLocation().setYaw(2);
                        }
                    }.runTaskTimer(this, 1, 1);
            }
        }

 

1. Setting the yaw and pitch does not actually change the yaw and pitch. These setters need to be done on the location instance that you are teleporting the armrostand to. That means you need to create an instance of the player's location, set the yaw and pitch for that location, and then teleport the armorstand using that location instance.
2. You're setting the yaw and pitch to a constant (2), so it will never change. Try creating an average like below to change the speed:

Code:java

float yaw = 0;
yaw += p.getLocation().getYaw();
//Add the player's yaw.
yaw += armorStand.getLocation().getYaw();
//Add the armorstand's yaw MULTIPLIED by 9,
//This means the existing yaw will be HEAVILY FAVORED, so the transition will be slow
 
yaw /= 10;
//Dividing it by the amount of entries added, creating an average.
 
/**
*Then do the same for Pitch, set the yaw and a pitch for the location, and then teleport the AS to that location
*/
 

 

@Zombie_Striker *Got it working*
