World [162 Supporters | ~94% Agrees ] Mage Teleport Location Should Be Calculated Through 1.13 Ray-casting

Ok then

thank you

 

So it is something like this, which existed for a long time. I believe the developers are actually using this code to simplify stuff.

Spoiler: Hmmmmmmmm

This is the code for ray-casting FYI: (haven't checked, might be wrong, don't kill me)

Code:

private Location getTargetBlock(LivingEntity entity, double range){
    Location eLoc = entity.getEyeLocation();
    Vector dir = eLoc.getDirection();

    return eLoc.addVector(dir.multiply(range).normalize());
}

 

to be honest, i have no idea what that is.

 

UNEXPECTED BUMP!!

 

this is actually one of the best suggestions ive ever seen

 

It's all very nice, but may you please explain to me what real use this will do. Becuase surely then you would have to aim directly at a block instead of just in the air and teleport 30 blocks or so ahead.

Very nicely written suggestion though, I commend you on that

 

Probably lead to less /kills to get out of the blocks. And lead to less messages telling you that you can't teleport in that direction. Also the air does count as blocks so wouldn't be that bad.

 

and being able to teleport easier underwater. and you can teleport near blocks now.

 

added effect of 1.13 update then, underwater combat.

 

I totally forgot to address this question.
If the ray emitted does not hit anything after a certain radius, it should teleport you into the air (like it currently does), but it would be more intuitive as current air teleport behaviour is a little tricky and sometimes you will teleport to a block if you aim at the air.

 

This would also allow flying out of the map with relative ease

 

what's preventing us from flying out the map currently

 

Now that you think about it I don't know

Maybe they did put barriers lol, but the whole flying upwards 20 blocks in one click is kinda.... eh overpowered?

 

Fair point

 

I once tried to break out of the map using Escape, but once I got to a certain point I couldn't go any further. Even with this it won't be possible.

Noted. Edited suggestion with a 60 degree limit. Instead of cancelling your teleport, it should instead set it to 60 degrees Y (slightly above the current limit) then calculate where the block hits.

 

What if there is a fence post or wall block in front of the player and the player uses teleport?

we reached it boys

 

Seems highly possible but will probs take some rewriting of the spell

 

cool idea, i actually thought of this to, but wynncraft most likely uses plugins for player related things and command blockers would be used for quests, puzzles, NPC text and armorstand animations, thats why im not interested in applying, animations and puzzles are tedius to make and are just not as exiting as making an adventure map, for example.
