Solved Using Yaw to propulse a player forward

Hi.
I am currently trying to improve my plugin, And i used a command line that makes the player do a dash in the direction that he is looking. But, there is an issue : If the player looks at the ground or in the air, the dash doesn't do much. Here is the code :

Code:

Vector dir = player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(3);
                            Vector vec = new Vector(dir.getX(), 0, dir.getZ());
                            player.setVelocity(vec);

I think using getYaw would be better, but I don't know how to use it.
Any help ?

 

The yaw is an angle

I don't really know for sure but something like new Vector(90 / yaw, y value, 90 / (yaw - 90)) might work

 

Just set the pitch to 0 .problem solved

 

How did I not think or this...

 

This isn't a solution, since I don't want to reset the player's pitch, and so I really think that the yaw for me is the solution.
I don't know how to do this, but if there is a function to do that :

0° Yaw : Velocity X = 1, Velocity Z = 0
90° Yaw : Velocity X = 0, Velocity Z = 1
180° -180° Yaw : Velocity X = -1, Velocity Z = 0
-90° Yaw : Velocity X = 0, Velocity Z = -1​

Maybe by adding 180° to that this would be more simple.
Something to vary that.
But thanks all for your help.

EDIT : This isn't a solution, because Yaw is glitched. The best way would be to normalize the Y axis of getDirection to do that the players are always propelled at the same speed. (Excuse me for my english, I'm french)

 

It is a solution. You don't set the players pitch to 0, you need to set the locations pitch to 0 and then use .getDirection() etc.

 

I tried

Code:

            player.getLocation().setPitch(0);
            Vector dir = player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(force);
            vec = new Vector(dir.getX(), Yvelocity, dir.getZ());

but it doesn't works. Still no dash when the player looks down or up.

 

.getLocation() returns a duplicate.
Assign the location to a variable, change the pitch, use the variable in your vector calculation

 

Used that :

Code:

            Location Dash = player.getLocation();
            Dash.setPitch(0);
            Vector dir = Dash.getDirection().multiply(force);
            vec = new Vector(dir.getX(), Yvelocity, dir.getZ());

and it worked ! Thanks a lot ! I wouldn't have find it myself.

 

Please mark thread as solved.
Ps.: why won't you just use

Code:

vec = Dash.getDirection().multiply(force).setY(Yvelocity);
