Solved Running commands based on a certain direction?

JJScoder · Jun 6, 2018

Hey Bukkit! I'm have a question. How do I do things based on the direction the player is facing.
What would code would allow me to run the command /dir and if I were facing north it spawn a cat but if I were facing sound spawn a dog, and ect in the four major directions.
Thanks!

Also commenting or a description/breakdown of the code would be awesome because its alot harder to learn from just a block of code imo

@JJScoder You need to get the direction the player is looking in.
Change that to the four major directions.
Do something with it.

I’m sure I’m going to sound like an idiot, but how would I use this,
I’ve tried things like
Player.rpGetPlayerDirection(), but it doesn’t seem to be working.

@JJScoder Did you check the thread linked? There is a method in there:

I wrote this code because I wanted more than the 4 cardinal directions. Just pass it the Player and you'll get a human readable string with the direction. Hope it helps.

Code:

    //
    // rpGetPlayerDirection - Convert Player's Yaw into a human readable direction out of 16 possible.
    //
    public String rpGetPlayerDirection(Player playerSelf){
         String dir = "";
         float y = playerSelf.getLocation().getYaw();
         if( y < 0 ){y += 360;}
         y %= 360;
         int i = (int)((y+8) / 22.5);
         if(i == 0){dir = "west";}
         else if(i == 1){dir = "west northwest";}
         else if(i == 2){dir = "northwest";}
         else if(i == 3){dir = "north northwest";}
         else if(i == 4){dir = "north";}
         else if(i == 5){dir = "north northeast";}
         else if(i == 6){dir = "northeast";}
         else if(i == 7){dir = "east northeast";}
         else if(i == 8){dir = "east";}
         else if(i == 9){dir = "east southeast";}
         else if(i == 10){dir = "southeast";}
         else if(i == 11){dir = "south southeast";}
         else if(i == 12){dir = "south";}
         else if(i == 13){dir = "south southwest";}
         else if(i == 14){dir = "southwest";}
         else if(i == 15){dir = "west southwest";}
         else {dir = "west";}
         return dir;
    }
