Solved Show fake npc player without any entity?

I've been messing around with packets trying to show my client a player, thats fake like an npc, but without any actually entity on the server. The npc doesn't have to move or react in any way, just be shown to the player.

This is what i have so far, it does nothing (I'm using bkcommonlib for the packet stuff)

Code:java

 
int nextId = Short.MAX_VALUE;
 
CommonPacket packet = new CommonPacket(PacketType.OUT_ENTITY_SPAWN_NAMED);
 
packet.write(PacketType.OUT_ENTITY_SPAWN_NAMED.entityId, nextId++);
packet.write(PacketType.OUT_ENTITY_SPAWN_NAMED.profile, "npc");
packet.write(PacketType.OUT_ENTITY_SPAWN_NAMED.x, (int) x);
packet.write(PacketType.OUT_ENTITY_SPAWN_NAMED.y, (int) pLoc.getY());
packet.write(PacketType.OUT_ENTITY_SPAWN_NAMED.z, (int) z);
packet.write(PacketType.OUT_ENTITY_SPAWN_NAMED.yaw, (byte) 45);
packet.write(PacketType.OUT_ENTITY_SPAWN_NAMED.pitch, (byte) 45);
packet.write(PacketType.OUT_ENTITY_SPAWN_NAMED.heldItemId, 0);
 
DataWatcher dw = new DataWatcher();
dw.set(0, (byte) 0);
dw.set(12, (int) 0);
packet.write(PacketType.OUT_ENTITY_SPAWN_NAMED.dataWatcher, dw);
 
PacketUtil.broadcastPacket(packet, false);

why are you doing this why not just use this

it's a entity api you can spawn every entity in the game and give names and stuff really nice! I hope this helped instead of using packets.

 

connor stone I think you should put the location * 32, so like z * 32 , x * 32, y *32

 

Someone_Like_You Heirteir I need to be able to have a fake player be shown in the game, like an npc, but I dont want to have an actual entity on the server. Also what eould miltiplying by 32 do? The x and z varaiable are not in this code but they are just a player coords

I also dont need it to like move or anything, just have client think its there whenever I want

connor stone Listen to me again, first - if you send it on player login event, put it in delayed task, second... for the locations (x, y, z) MULTIPLY it by 32, thats how the packet work, I forgot how that number called but thats how its works... try it before comment that it didnt work please.

 

Someone_Like_You okay I will when I get home, its just confuses me becasue I work with packets alot and never had to do that with coords

 

connor stone You work with packets but do not know whats fixed-point number? makes no sense.

Heres what you would found on the protocol wiki. :

try google stuff before you coming here to ask help.

 

If you take a look at the actual packet, you'll see that all the coords are fixed-point numbers. Without sending them to the client like that, the NPC won't appear in the right spot

 

DSH105 Someone_Like_You Thank you for the help, got it working now

 

connor stone Np, few stuff you might want to know, if youre sending the packet on player login/death/respawn, be sure to put it in delay of 1 tick, else the npc wont showup for the player.
