Stop a player from falling

Is there a good way to prevent a player from falling for the next 5 seconds?

By 'good' I mean lightweight, e.g. I don't really want to set a listener for every move event if possible.

Thanks

 

set them into fly mode? then remove?

 

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageEvent event) {
if (!(event.getEntity() instanceof Player)) return;
if ((event.getCause().equals(EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.FALL)))
event.setCancelled(true);
}

 

I'm pretty sure he is asking how to stop a playing falling, not how to stop fall damage?.

lol, So you just assumed he was talking about something else I take it then.

You could be right, but if you are then the question has poor English.

 

Nah, I was talking about stopping a player from falling, i.e. the title of the question.

Fly mode might be a good option, thanks. Just need to find a solid way of ensuring it is removed from them in 5 seconds (e.g. even if server restarts, or they log out).

 

Add them to a list, if they log out, set fly mode to off and remove from list. If server restarts, get everyone in list, set all to fly mode off.

 

Sorry for the noobish question, but can fly mode be turned off even if they are offline?

 

If you don't save the players name to a list his fly mode should go off if he reconnects, if not you can check for fly mode on joinevent and turn it off if it response true...

 

If you catch it as they log off, it should work fine I think :3

Well, if he set the flymode to turn off after 5 seconds, if they were not online after 5 seconds it won't be turned off.

Then he can check as i already mentioned on the join event for flymode of each player...

 

You fail to remember that some people might legit-ly have flight mode or be in gamemode.

 

No i didn't ^^ It's just the easiest way to do it...

 

But it would not work in all situations
