Solved Check if Player/Horse is Walking Backwards?

Hi,

I'm working on a plugin that bounces the player back if he enters a cuboid and is not heading south. It's a race line, so obviously, I don't want the player going back and forth across it to win the race easily. The problem is that if the player/horse backpedals into the line after crossing it, it won't bounce him since all it does is a getYaw test. I tried doing a getVelocity().getX() test, but it didn't work. I also tried getDirection(), but that bounced me back no matter how I entered it (except, ironically, backpedalling.

Code:javascript

        if(isInRaceline(p) /*Checks for the public static Cuboid to see if the player is in it, returns true if player is, if else, returns false.*/)
        {
            if(!p.getMetadata("playerInLine").get(0).asBoolean())
            {
                if(p.getLocation().getYaw() < 90 && p.getLocation().getYaw() > -90)
                {
                p.sendMessage("§aRight way!");
                p.setMetadata("playerInLine", new FixedMetadataValue(plugin, true));                                
                }
                else
                {
                    p.setVelocity(p.getVelocity().multiply(-4));                    
                    if(p.getVehicle() != null)
                    {
                        p.getVehicle().setVelocity(p.getVehicle().getVelocity().multiply(-4));                        
                    }
                    p.sendMessage("§4§oWrong way! Turn around.");
                }
 
            //p.sendMessage("§aDebug: §bPlayer in raceline!");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            p.setMetadata("playerInLine", new FixedMetadataValue(plugin, false));                
        }

Bump. >_>

You could keep track of the player's previous and current blocks, and compare their locations.

 

Check which direction they are moving and then their yaw/pitch.

 

ZeusAllMighty11: I'll try that.

Napkin222: I literally said I tried that already. Can I see an example of what you mean?

 

Solved. Thanks for the help! I already was using metas to record the player's last location, so I just compared that to event.getTo().
