Solved PacketPlayOutSpawnEntityLiving Update

Oh boy, more NMS!

Anyways, I've coded a PacketPlayOutSpawnEntityLiving, and made morphs and disguises out of it fairly easy. Now I'm wondering though, how I update it. Everytime the packet is sent with a different entity id, it does not show the disguise unless I move enough. What I mean is, when I get disguised into any other EntityLiving, it doesn't show the disguise until I move enough. A mimimum vector of 0.3 is required, but how do I make it so it doesn't require sending vectors?

I don't really feel comfortable of showing my code.
Thanks for the help!

Yeah, since we can't see your code we can't figure out why you need a "minimum velocity". Can you show us your code just for that method/event so we can figure out why it's not constantly updating. We are not able to see whats wrong with your code if we can't see it.

Very sorry, but I'm on my phone right now. What All that I did was make a new EntityLiving based on an argument, and if it's a wither, it's an EntityWither. then send the spawn packet (except the disguised player). That's all that I do.

//Edit:

Code:

public Disguise(EntityLiving type, Player disguiser){
        this.player = disguiser;
        this.packet = new PacketPlayOutSpawnEntityLiving(type);
    }
public void send(){
        FieldManager.setField(this.packet, "a", player.getEntityId());
        for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
            if(!(pl.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(this.player.getName()))){
                ((CraftPlayer) pl).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(packet);
            }
        }
    }

 

Bump

 

@Agentleader1
When does Disguise.send() get sent? Is it in it's own thread/runnable?

 

@Zombie_Striker
I sent it directly after the constructor was called. And all together did 2 actions (constructor and method) in command

 

@Agentleader1
So the disguises are of the same entity id as the player? If so, you need to put a delay between despawning and spawning, or the client will show it invisible for a little while.

 

@megamichiel
Can you elaborate more on that? I'm not sure what you meant by despawn and spawn. Thank you.

 

@Agentleader1
Despawn -> Send the player's despawn packet
Spawn -> Send the disguise's spawn packet

 

@megamichiel
I never had a PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy. Is that required?

 

@Agentleader1
Yes, else it will not show properly. If the client recieves a spawn packet with an entity id that is the same as another, it's invisible for a little while.

 

@megamichiel Thanks. So I must put a delay on the PacketPlayOutSpawnEntity like 1 tick after PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy?

//edit:
Doesn't seem to work :/

Code:

int peid = player.getEntityId();
                    PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy destroy = new PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy(peid);
                    for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
                        ((CraftPlayer) pl).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(destroy);
                    }
                    try{
                        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(Factions.instance, new Runnable(){
                            public void run(){
                                Disguise disguise = new Disguise(EnumDisguiseType.getTypeFromString(args[1]), player);
                                disguise.send();
                            }
                        },1);
                    }catch(IllegalArgumentException ex){
                        player.sendMessage(prefix + ChatColor.RED + "That entity type is unsupported!");
                    }

//Edit 2: It works now, need a bigger delay! Thanks! Appreciates!
