[Urgent] Hiding a player within a radius

I need help using vectors and inAABB.. I have read through the JavaDocs, so do not post that as ' read this ' I just completely don't understand.. If anyone is willing to help, post in the comments or pm me, please. I really need this soon to release the next version of Kreas-Kits. Thanks.

 

What do you need help with? Be more specific.

I need help with getting a player to disappear after they are out of the inAABB radius. This is done by vectors, I believe, and I do not know how to do this. Basically when they are OUT of the radius, they are invisible, and when they are IN the radius, the are visible and can be seen..

 

Bump this up

 

couldn't you just get the distance from the point to the player and check if it is less than the radius and if it is hsow the player.

 

That's basically what I'm trying to get help for.. Its with vectors, I'm sure you can't do it any other way..

 

Code:

Location yourLocation;
int distance = yourLocation.distance(player.getLocation());

 

SoThatsIt that gets their player location, but doesn't actually hide the player.

 

oh, i dont know how to hide the player... maybe theres an api for it somewhere

 

kreashenz SoThatsIt

Code:java

for(Player online : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
  online.hidePlayer(player);
}

This will make every player on the server not be able to see the player "player".

 

chasechocolate what about making them be seen in the radius.. That would be the inAABB concept, wouldn't it ?

 

Bump, this is needed VERY soon. I've been spending a while looking for this, and getting codes and trying many, many different things, and I still cant find it.. I need how to get the radius of the player.

 

Code:java

 
for (Player p1 : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
 for (Player p2 : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
  if (p1.getLocation().distance(p2.getLocation()) > radius) {
    p2.hidePlayer(p1);
    } else {
    p2.showPlayer(p1);
    }
  }
}

 

Code:java

List<Entity> around = p.getNearbyEntities(30,30,30);
Player s = null; // for now.
for(Entity ent : around) {
if(ent instanceof CraftPlayer) {
s = (Player) ent;
}
}
if(s != null) {s.hidePlayer(p);}

Code:java

List<Entity> around = p.getNearbyEntities(30,30,30);

Being the radius in all directions.

 

ya could add a potion effect to the player if he is in radius (potioneffecttype.invisibility)

 

That doesn't hide his armour / iteminhand.

hidePlayer(Player arg) would

 

-_Husky_- goodstuff20 Where would I put these, and which one would work better, and how would I link it to a command, ( Only 1 of the kits I would like to have it on )

 

Mine can be pasted into the command outright. No need to do anything else, you may have to add the craftbukkit to your build path.

 

-_Husky_- Doesn't work.. I don't know why, but its not hiding the player.

 

It would be useful to see what code you're using...

 

well mine is easy but as said it doesent hide armor - just type in the command where ya want player.addPotionEffect(new potionEffect(potionEffectType.INVISIBILITY, time, 1));

 

Lolmewn -_Husky_- .. hush xD This is the ninja ( assassin ) kit here.

Code:java

 
else if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("ninja")) {
if (sender instanceof Player) {
if (sender.hasPermission("kkit.ninja")) {
Player player = (Player)sender;
PlayerInventory pi = player.getInventory();
pi.clear();
pi.setArmorContents(null);
Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().cancelAllTasks();
for (PotionEffect effect : player.getActivePotionEffects()) {
player.removePotionEffect(effect.getType());
}
List<Entity> around = player.getNearbyEntities(13,13,13);
for(Entity ent : around) {
player = (Player) ent;
if(player != null) {
player.hidePlayer(player);}
ItemStack gethelmet = new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_HELMET, 64);
gethelmet.addEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);
ItemStack getchestplate = new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_CHESTPLATE, 64);
getchestplate.addEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);
ItemStack getleggings = new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_LEGGINGS, 64);
getleggings.addEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);
ItemStack getboots = new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_BOOTS, 64);
getboots.addEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);
getboots.addUnsafeEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_FALL, 9);
ItemStack getsword = new ItemStack(Material.IRON_SWORD);
getsword.addEnchantment(Enchantment.DAMAGE_ALL, 1);
ItemMeta iSword = (ItemMeta)getsword.getItemMeta();
iSword.setDisplayName("Sharpened Knife");
getsword.setItemMeta(iSword);
pi.setHelmet(gethelmet);
pi.setChestplate(getchestplate);
pi.setLeggings(getleggings);
pi.setBoots(getboots);
pi.addItem(getsword);
ItemStack getSoup = new ItemStack(Material.MUSHROOM_SOUP, 1);
player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.JUMP, 18000, 0));
player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED, 2400000, 4));
for(int i=1; i <=34; i++)
pi.addItem(getSoup);
sender.sendMessage(prefix + Ninja);
}
} else sender.sendMessage(prefix + MustBePlayer);
} else sender.sendMessage(prefix + NoPerm);
}

In that code ^^^^^^ It has stacked armour, because I don't know how to set infinite durability. Lol.

Is there a player within 13 blocks?

 

-_Husky_- Yes, my radar said about 41, and he still didn't disappear.

 

Ok, for starters.

You're trying to hide the player from himself (in the code, thats exactly what you are doing.)

Try using my original code, and paste it (changing the radius ofc).

Also, my code hides them within the radius, let me append the changes.

 

-_Husky_- Uhh, that is EXACTLY what I did.. It had an error under CraftPlayer, and it didn't have a fix, just said cannot resolve a variable.

 

New code, works now.

Import the server version of craftbukkit, I noted that up a little.

Try using my code, note that both mine and Husky's version need to be run in a scheder to effectively work. If you decide to go with his version, please note that is will probably need the craftbukkit.jar

 

-_Husky_- So the actual server craftbukkit, is what I import now?

 

It will still work, but it's not optimized outside a scheduler, you are correct there.

Using the code outside a scheduler on larger servers is not a great idea. As .getNearbyEntities, loops the server checking locations in coord to the checkee.
