Solved How do you use PacketPlayInSteerVehicle

I'm currently making a plugin and on the forums I found that I need to use this for the thing I want to make (riding an entity): PacketPlayInSteerVehicle, but how do you use it.

So far I got like this:

Code:

PacketPlayInSteerVehicle ppisv = new PacketPlayInSteerVehicle();

//I know that there needs to be something here to specify the player, but I don't know what (I think some packet sending or something like that)

//Use variables
boolean shift = ppisv.d();
boolean space = ppisv.c();
float forward = ppisv.b();
float side = ppisv.a();

Does anyone know how to specify the player where you want this information from? If you do, please add some code since I'm still a bit new to craftbukkit. Thank you for reading this post .

 

@KingOfAdventure What is it you're actually trying to achieve exactly?

 

You will probably want to use something like protocollib in order to listen to packets and then read the steer packet.

 

First of all, thanks for the reply .
@AdamQpzm I want to make my custom ridable with wasd/space/shift controls. I'm currently using this tutorial : https://bukkit.org/threads/tutorial-1-7-5-wasd-entity-riding.163019/ .
@RingOfStorms Thank you for the tip! It solved my problem

For other users with the same problem:


I found a way to use that event with protocol lib.

For other people with the same troubles :

Code:

public class InputListener extends PacketAdapter{


  
    public InputListener(Plugin plugin, ListenerPriority listenerPriority,PacketType[] types) {
        super(plugin, listenerPriority, types);
    }

  
    @Override
    public void onPacketReceiving(PacketEvent event) {     
        if(event.getPacketType().equals(PacketType.Play.Client.STEER_VEHICLE)){
            PacketPlayInSteerVehicle ppisv = (PacketPlayInSteerVehicle) event.getPacket().getHandle();
          
              
            //Usage ppisv
            boolean shift = ppisv.d();
            boolean space = ppisv.c();
            float forward = ppisv.b();
            float side = ppisv.a();
          
        }
    }
}

And in on enable

Code:

ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().addPacketListener(new InputListener(this,  ListenerPriority.HIGHEST, new PacketType[]{PacketType.Play.Client.STEER_VEHICLE}));

 

It's easy. Add LibsDisguises in your plugin (and your server ofcourse). Create a horse and disguise it as a minecart or something else.

Thanks for the idea @rcth, but I'm making something really complex. I can't use normal Minecraft entities for that (I'm making custom mobs with NMS). But thanks anyways !
