Custom NPC(FakePlayer)

Okay so here's the deal. I'm attempting to develop an anti-cheat for my own reasons and the most reasonable way to detect KillAura would be the NPC or FakePlayer method even though it is the most popular. I have ideas to bypass the bypasses that new(er) clients have added. I've looked at some tutorials on youtube on how to create fake players however i'm unsure how let's take for example Mineplex's G.W.E.N is making the NPC fly behind the player. Could anyone help with this? I don't really need help detecting the hits. Thanks for help in advance.

Willing to use Librarys or APIs such as ProtocolLib if but preferably not.

Anyone? bump

I believe the Citizens plugin has an API for this.

 

Okay i've created the Npc using packets instead however is there a method to set the npc to flying? Or will i have to use a runnable to keep teleporting to location which would lag the server a lot though.

 

@Mindlessmink
If you set the NPC to flying, then what will you do with the player? You'd still have to teleport them around.

 

@X1machinemaker1X yeah i guess so but not as constant as a scheduler

 

@Mindlessmink
What do you want the NPC to do? Maybe there is a better way.

 

@X1machinemaker1X basically. Trying to create an anti aura system as such to block killaura users. Will add 2, one on ground with armor and in air with armor. This is to detect systems that bypass by either disabling being able to hit non armored entities or entities that are flying. I can make the one that is on ground fine. Just trying to create an npc which is flying and when you turn to face it, it'll be teleported behind you to minimize false positives

@Mindlessmink
There are ways to set the player flying using packets (namely this packet), but I don't recommend you use it.

If there is a suitable API, Citizens, why can't you use it? You might think you're doing your users a really big favour by not using libraries, but you're not. Users will care much more for functional code than having to install an extra library.
