Knock players away from player

I'm a little unsure as to how I would knock players away from another player. I was thinking of simply adding an XYZ value like so:

Code:

final Vector direction = player.getLocation().add(x, y, z);

I'm not trying to knock the players in a particular direction - just away from the player.

 

You have to change their velocity or something like that. I think it is player.setVelocity(), but I'm not sure.

 

Code:

                    Vector dir = player.getLocation().getDirection();
                    Vector vec = new Vector(dir.getZ() * .5D, .5D, dir.getX() * .5D);
                    player.setVelocity(vec);

Change that to how you'd like. I took this from my "BbySlap" plugin.

 

Works beautifully! Much thanks.

By any chance, are you checking for distance between players? I'm looking to increase the amount depending on the distance between both players.

 

No, I am not. And am unsure on how to do so. But I can assume you can try using

Code:

player.getNearbyEntities()

In some way.
