Solved Get location of entity after exiting vehicle

Due to the mechanics of players exiting a vehicle, it is something that is calculated after the player exits, meaning that the VehicleExitEvent does not contain any information on where the player will end up being put.

So then, what's the best way to get the players final position? My guess is something like a RunTask which runs 1 tick later, after the player has been allocated an exit position, but how do I include a parameter of the player's name to check it again in a runnable?

Thanks.

Did you try using this?

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onVehicleExit(VehicleExitEvent event) {
    final LivingEntity exited = event.getExited();
 
    new BukkitRunnable() {
 
        @Override
        public void run() {
            Location location = exited.getLocation();
            // Do something with the location
        }
    }.runTaskLater(this, 1L);
}

 

No I didn't because I assumed

Code:java

exited.getLocation()

wouldn't update to the new location, but rather maintain its value from the original evaluation.

I don't know when the new location is calculated, but if it was calculated within the tick, it should be the right one.

Yeah it gets calculated that next tick, and that works as well. Thanks!
