Player Movement Plugin

Im currently working on a project that reenacts the wasd key by using custom commands. I'm able to move the player forward and backwards using the 'knockback' code:

Code:

player.setVelocity(player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(+1));

The problem im facing is to be able to move left and right using commands. What I have been thinking is using the yaw to determine the sides im going to face but I have no idea to implement it.

Help is much appreciated.

 

@najib333 Minecraft player movement really isn't designed for this sort of thing, so it won't look smooth most of the time. Why do you want to make such a plugin anyway?

 

I was requested by my supervisor to do this. And he said this was pretty easy. Thing is, i also thought that such plugin is kinda pointless. But i still need to get it done though :/

 

I cant say no to my supervisor. Im on intern. Haha. I also dont know why would they ask me to do such stuffs. So, anyone gt any ideas?

 

Well, its not a company actually. Its a research institution in my local university.

What he meant left and right is that it is relative to the player. It acts like the 'WASD' key when we move the player.
