Jumppads won't work!

Hey guys! I am trying to do jumppads using:

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
       
        if(event.getAction() == Action.PHYSICAL) {
           
    
            if(event.getClickedBlock().getType() == Material.STONE_PLATE) {
                
                Vector v = event.getPlayer().getLocation().getDirection().multiply(10D).setY(10D);
                event.getPlayer().setVelocity(v);
               
           event.getPlayer().playSound(event.getPlayer().getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_ENDERDRAGON_HURT, 4, 4);
               
    
               
            }
        }
    }

But I only get pushed like 8 blocks forward. I want to get pushed away like on hive etc.

Why doesn't it do that?

Thanks you!

 

@ThrustLP
Have you tried changing the multiplier? Changing the multiplier increases or decreases how far you go. Change 10D to something like 20D.

 

@ThrustLP As @Zombie_Striker said, change the multiplier, however ensure you don't set it too high, it'll make the server think the player is moving too fast and glitch them (Mostly caused by the Y which it looks like you've ensured won't bother you)

 

Instead of testing for the interact event try to test for the player move event and get the block either in/under them. Than get the velocity and stuff, but set the multiplier to 2D and the y to 1.7D, it worked for me.

 

It's better to check the player interact event with a if statement like he is doing now.

 

@bennie3211 That way would also include an if statement

Code:

if (p.getLocation().subract(0,1,0).getBlock().getType() == Material.MATERIAL) {
//do stuff
}

I'm not in a location where I can test this right now, so I think it should work.

 

But he has an if statement

Code:

if(event.getAction() == Action.PHYSICAL) {}

Inside a playerinteractevent is better then checking it in the playermoveevent. Besides, the problem is that it doesn't push far enough, not that his methode isn't working

 

@ThrustLP i guess physics could be dicking you over. moving x and z is not going against gravity but moving y does. So multiplying with 20 and manipulating x or z will go faster than manipulating y since gravity is slowing you down and pulling you back. So my guess would be, that you have to increate the multiplier to get a higher boost. If you want it to boost you in the direction you are walking, too you have to check the direction the player entered the field and also manipulate x/z depending on that.

 

If you want to push a player in the direction they are looking, just get the player direction and normalize it, then multiply X, Y and Z individual and the set the new velocity to the player. Maybe it will fix the problem
