Solved SPAWN BLOCKS AROUND A PLAYER

I want to create a freeze plugin but feel like cancelling the movement is buggy so I was thinking maybe I can make one where it gets the players location and spawns blocks around the player on command. Can anyone help me spawn the blocks around the player and how I can get th elocations of where to place the blocks thanks.

 

You can simply set the immobile flag using https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-...46c2717/src/pocketmine/entity/Entity.php#L654

But it's client side so i recommend cancelling the MoveEvent anyway.

 

Check how piggyce does his

 

Please show proof of a previous attempt

 

Better way is sending No AI flag to player

 

I can create the freeze plugin I have made it before but, I want to basically know how to spawn blocks around a player. I dont just want to use the spawn blocks around player for the freeze I have other stuff in mind. I just dont know what I can use to spawn the blocks around and how

 

did you check piggyce

 

please stop spam for nothing

 

If you want to just set blocks at specific coordinates, you can use Level->setBlock(). You can get a player's level through Player->getLevel().
Here's an example of Level::setBlock() usage:

PHP:

/** @var Level $level */
$block = Block::get(Block::IRON_BARS);
$pos = new Vector3(1, 33, 7);
$level->setBlock($pos, $block, false, false);


The first parameter is the position at which you want to set the block.
The second parameter is the Block instance of the block you want to set.
The third parameter is deprecated, so it doesn't really matter.
The fourth parameter handles whether to update neighbouring blocks (for example, placing a block aside of cactus causes cactus to update and break). If you're calling setBlock() multiple times, you may want to set it to false for performance.

 

okay, but if Im trying to place the blocks according to the players location, would it be like

$player->getLocation->setBlock()
But how would it place them according to the players location if they move around.

Like say place it 2 above the head 3 sideways 0 downwards of the player
Basically creating a sphere around the player. Thats the part I dont get

 

Excuse me.
PiggyCE has a CE rhat does this exact thing! Check.the code!

 

setImmobile

 

i mean to freeze you can just use setImmobile(true)

 

You can get player's XYZ by:

PHP:

$x = $player->x;
$y = $player->y;
$z = $player->z


Or just:

PHP:

list($x, $y, $z) = [$player->x, $player->y, $player->z];


\pocketmine\block\Block requires it's x, y and z to be integers.
BUT, $x, $y and $z are floats so you'll need to convert them to int by rounding.

PHP:

$x = round($x);
$y = round($y);
$z = round($z);


Actually, there's a short-hand.

PHP:

$pos = $player->round();
//this is the position of the player's feet. if you set
//the block at this position, the block will be set at
//the player's feet.


The position right above player's head would be:

PHP:

$abovePlayer = $pos->add(0, 2, 0);//adding 2 to $pos->y


You can use $player->getLevel()->setBlock($abovePlayer, $block, false, false)
Arithmetic logic should assist you for the rest of the positions.

 

I'd like to add a couple things

round(value) doesn't convert a value to an int, just a rounded float. Make sure to (int) typecast it.

For the list($x, $y, $z) = ... you can also use the shorthand that's available as of PHP 7.1, [$x, $y, $z] = ...

 

But he just wants a freeze plugin so why not just setImmobile(true) the player.
