[SOLVED] Is It Possible? Climbing Walls.

I am wondering is it possible to let players climb walls like spiders do? Thats pretty much it. And if you think there is a way, how would you personally go about coding that. Because I do not know where to start. Thanks! Looking forward to knowing more about this.

 

You would need to put a vine or a ladder on the wall and remove it as they go up to make the illusion.

 

Oh I didn't event think of that. That would make things easier. Then I could keep destroying old one and making a new one on the wall where they are. The only problem is if they tried to climb an already existing vine or ladder it may destroy it behind them...

 

Just store their location in a list and when you are adding to the list and making the vine, just check to see if one is already there, if it is, don't store it.

 

Thanks for the advice. I will try this later tonight and let you know how it goes.

 

Instead of actually changing the world, send a block update to that player only.

i.e. player.sendBlockChange(Location, Material, byte) or (Location, int, byte)

Okay I will try that. Thanks. I will let you know if I have any problems

 

I'm not sure, but maybe setting the block to a vine/ladder and sending a air block change to every player on that block?
I don't know if this will work though, probably not

 

I've personally experimented with changing player viewed blocks before and found it that you're able to even "fly" or walk on water with it as other players would view it. But you cannot go through a mountain for example with it and would have to change the actual world.

 

As in changing the actual block to a ladder/vine, and sending a fake air update to the players? That would actually be the opposite of the solution, as the client needs to know the block is climbable.

BTW, the server might kick the player, thinking it's fly hack, if the block is actually air. And if the player was to interact with the block, the real block could be sent to the player. As long as you're not manipulating the vanilla code anyways.

 

There might be the possibility that something like NoCheatPlus would assume it is a flyhack, but worst case scenario you could either create the actual vine or hook into NCP. But there is no need to hide it to all the other players if all you are doing is making it is visible to just the climbing player.

 

Actually, changing the block temporarily to a vine/ladder and sending a fake air update to all the other nearby players would work.

 

Of course it would, but it is highly unnecessary.

 

Ya the vine block will be somewhat hidden behind the player while he is climbing anyway.

 

I'm kind of curious to see who voted No on the poll lol

 

I want to know why there is a poll actually xD

 

I initially thought this would require something much more complicated than this. Just me making things more complicated than they need to be (as usual xD)

 

What do you still need to do?

 

I honestly don't see how, but whatever...

 

What I was saying is that you only need to fake the blocks for the individual, not server wide, nor would you need to actually place the block in the world, potentially causing grief to players' structures.

 

When you put it that way, yeah that -would- be easier. But it could easily get buggy.

 

The result is publicy visible. Just click on "1 Vote(s)" at the No line...

 

I am having trouble hiding the vines the player is on

 

I don't know if this will work but what would happen if you didn't call block.getState().update()?

 

I never call that anyway... I am also having trouble getting if the player is near a wall and making the vines appear in the first place...

Edit: I am trying to use playerMoveEvent to check but I don't know how to check if they are near a wall. Once I have that I can just spawn a vine block at my location but...

 

ok, if you never call it they won't be visible, to check if they are near a wall(PlayerMoveEvent) use: if(p.getLocation().getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.NORTH).getType()!=Material.AIR) therefore saying that the north block is not air it must be something else then you can set it to vines, NOTE that is only north.... so you need to check what side has the wall, north east south west and then set their location as the vine.

 

So just do the same thing for north south east and west? And then put vines on all of them? Seems like that would cause some errors...
Like say the player is in a 2 block deep hole that is just one block wide

 

Actually, get what direction the player is looking, then get if their location and the relative block in the direction they are looking isn't air.. that would probably be better

 

But then the player couldn't climb the wall looking sideways like they can do on a ladder correct?

 

You could just fly them up though
