[Solved]Add certain velocity on a player

Hello,

In my plugin i must push a player away, when someone rightklicks him. this is not the problem, but i don' t know how to push im in the direktion where the player is looking at(right preposition??), because that would look logical. I know that i can push player in a direction with player.setVelocity(vector), but how can i convert the yaw and the pitch from the right-clicking player into a vector?

Idk how old you are and if you had this in school yet, but you can use a triangle to calculate the gradient using either pytahgoras or sohcahtoa.

 

Or simply use the getDirection() function of the LivingEntity class, it does it for you.

The get direction function returns a vector that is the exact trajectory of the entity it's used on, AKA it will return a vector that represents that yaw and pitch of the entity you use it on.

Hope this helps!

 

Can you give me an example?
Ok, i did it:

Code:

Entity entity = event.getRightClicked();   
Vector vector = player.getLocation().getDirection().setX(player.getLocation().getDirection().getX() + 1).setY(player.getLocation().getDirection().getX() + 0.5).setZ(player.getLocation().getDirection().getZ() + 1);
entity.setVelocity(vector);
