Solved Block Break Animation

Let me start with this: This thread is about Minecraft Packets, specifically Packet55BlockBreakAnimation.

So, I've been experimenting with packets and I now want to add the block break animation (the animation in which cracks appear on the block as you break it). I started with so:

Code:java

Packet55BlockBreakAnimation packet = new Packet55BlockBreakAnimation();

To my surprise, it did not take any parameters. I still continued

Code:java

((CraftServer) player.getServer()).getHandle().sendPacketNearby(
loc.getX(), loc.getY(), loc.getZ(), 120, ((CraftWorld) player.getWorld()).getHandle().dimension, packet);
 
// This has also been used.
EntityPlayer ePlayer = (EntityPlayer) player;
ePlayer.playerConnection.sendPacket(new Packet55BlockBreakAnimation());

At this point, I assume my code is wrong. This is probably my third time fooling around with packets ever. I can't get the BlockBreakAnimation to work. Unlike older versions of Craftbukkit, the packet would take the parameters of the player's id, the block (x, y, z), and the damage level. In this case it is not.

Please forgive me if the code is completely stupid or the post is not understandable. I'm very tired

Thanks in advance!

 

why not just take BlockBreakEvent than create an effect with playEffect/playSound or whatever else?

sorry if im not fully understanding what you want to do

 

You can't create the cracks on the block via the playerEffect method.

 

ahh okay i thought you wanted to just have an effect go on block break, sorry my mistake

 

Na, I already did that. I just cannot get the the crack animation to work, mainly because I've confused myself

I'm sorry to bump this thread, but I would really appreciate any information regarding packets, specifically the BlockBreakAnimation packet ...

Take a look at 2001.

 

I'm referring to the block CRACK affect. When you start hitting stone with your first, for example, you will see cracks appearing.

I would like to manage what stage of cracking it is at after extending the block destroy time, which I have done via a scheduler and getting the currentTimeMillis.

Edit: Missed 2001, will try it.
Edit 2: Whats the difference of that and http://wiki.vg/Protocol#Block_Break_Animation_.280x37.29

Figured it out. loc.getX() and etc. were returning doubles, and those parameters required integers. Here is the final code for anyone looking for it in the future:

Code:java

Packet55BlockBreakAnimation packet = new Packet55BlockBreakAnimation(0, block.getX(), block.getY(), block.getZ(), damage);
int dimension = ((CraftWorld) player.getWorld()).getHandle().dimension;
((CraftServer) player.getServer()).getHandle().sendPacketNearby(block.getX(), block.getY(), block.getZ(), 120, dimension, packet);

Oops, sorry. I was wrong. Anyway, good thing that you figured it out.

 

Even if this is solved number1_Master you should implement the Effect into craftbukkit and make a pull request or you will end up in the "break on update" hell as you would have to use CB.

 

I'm not worry about this yet. At the moment, this is such a small plugin that all I would need to do is fix about 3 imports in 1 class.

 

I'm curious to know, why are you trying to use the block crack effect?

 

Since I am extending the time a block breaks via a scheduler, I have to change when the BlockBreakAnimation occurs. Although I plan on making a plugin which modifies the time it takes to break a block, in this current situation I wanted the crack affect to appear when breaking bedrock.
