LAUNCH ENTITIES - Set Motion NBT From Rotation! || Minecraft Commands 

How does like every server do it, where you have like pressure plates or similar or like a "grappling hook" where you then smoothly launch players?

I think they often use plugins, but those only work on servers

You can tp the player to a falling block (the movement) so it can launch players maybe

Yeah its just a bit choppy

@@TheTeixeira Yes, lets assume you have a repeat command block tp'ing to that block with the launch nbt, that just tp's 20times per second(each tick) and you're less flying than teleporting a few times

I like music

The background music was great man

Thanks for the feedback guys! I think ill keep doing it then, I was just worried some people might think it was annoying.

music is good

i didnt hear it the whole time XD

Thanks! I’ve also been following your content, that doom map you’re making looks awesome!

@@TimberForge Now that is epic.

I’m so glad you found the explanation useful!

Just execute everything as the mob and rotated as the mob, look up the specifics of the execute command on the wiki if u dont know how to.

Oh ok ty

Oh my god please do that

Glad you like it! Feel free to ask questions if part of it is confusing!

@@TimberForge actually, I do have a question I just wanted to know if its possible using this on a player

Unfortunately we aren’t allowed to modify player data directly like this. :( However you could use armorstands, but it would be a bit choppy. TheMoneyRaider kinda has a system for player motion, but it’s inevitable that it will be a bit choppy.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-txE2ssHz9rw.html

Thanks haha, I just learned how to do basic blender rigs and renders last night.

Lol

/execute at @s anchored eyes run ...

If you are using command blocks, you will have to change the commands since functions make it easier to run entire functions on entities, but for command blocks you will have to repeat the execution conditions for every command.

I currently use atom.io but may have been using vscode in this vid. For both i get a mcfunction extension

arrows have their own gravity system, so it should be much easier, just summon an arrow with a custom velocity and the arrow does the rest for u

You can use one right click scoreboard, but then detect which item the player is holding when you want to shoot. Ex: if right click score is over 1, and holding firewand, do shoot 1. If right click score over 1, and holding healwand, shoot2, etc

@@TimberForge Hello again. The thing you say, i have already tried that. But the scoreboard goes up, no matter what wand i use. If i press rightClick with the firewand and quickly switches to healwand. Then the healwand activates... is there a way to make a rightClick detecton ONLY go up when i press rightClick with a specific item in hand?

Make the right click scoreboard go down at the end of each tick. So if you try switching then it wont work.

You could set up a simpler version of my custom mob natural spawning system, but instead of replacing it, use the 1.17 item command to replace its items.

I made a gun in my mandalorian pistol let’s code video.

@@TimberForge oh sry i have must overlooked tha thanks.

Yes

I found an Mc function one, idk which exactly. I use atom.it now instead of vscode, either are good.

@@TimberForge Okay thanks!

Yeah i forgot to mention that but you are not allowed to directly modify player nbt.

Oh that explains it so how would I modify this for players

There isnt a super good way, it’s always choppy. You can tp the player to an entity that is being modified.

Ok

Yeah cloudwolf has a video on custom damage.

@@TimberForge thank you

Its a setting called word wrap or text wrap, look it up for your editor.

I also mean with the falloff.

if the player is walking, say to the left, while they shoot it could mess up the direction it fires in and make it turn

Found a kind of janky solution, summon the item with gravity disabled and the motion specified but set to 0 for all values. Then apply the motion, and then after that have a command running to set the gravity of all items with the motion_applied tag that do not have a motion of 0 to enabled. No idea why this happens or why this works, but my guess is something to do with optimization and interpolating. The game assumes the object will not have its motion drastically changed normally and so has to catch up when it realizes it guessed the wrong place for where the object will be. Changing the gravity tag lets the game realize sooner that the objects trajectory may be messed with.

After fiddling around with Zafalron's solution, I found a way to fix the issue with minimum commands. Create a new function file. Let's call it "update.mcfunction" After the final line "tag @s add motion_added", add this line: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ schedule function YourDatapackName:update 2t ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This will run "update.mcfunction" 1/10th of a second after your projectile spawns. Trying to update the projectile sooner than 2 ticks will do nothing. In your "update.mcfunction" file, add these lines: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ execute as @e[tag=motion_added, tag=!updated] run data modify entity @s NoGravity set value True execute as @e[tag=motion_added, tag=!updated] run data modify entity @s NoGravity set value False execute as @e[tag=motion_added, tag=!updated] run tag @s add updated ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This should force the snowball's graphical position to update. You can use another file too if you want to avoid running the execute as command 3 times, but for simplicity this is fine.

@@switchcubed8529 THANK U

@@nat-20 bro u guys saved my week i was sitting here figurin shit out for like two days straight

idk if that helps but you can make an invisible armor stand which is holding a bow and then use that entity as a starting point for your "throwable entitie". Idk if that helps

The concept should still work. I would try to print the motion data of the arrow periodically at certain points in your functions to constantly check the values so you can see where the issue is- i.e. check if the motion is being calculated incorrectly, scaled incorrectly, or if the arrow isn’t moving how you expect it to move even though the motion data at the time of moving is correct.

@@TimberForge Thanks for the suggestion. After a little bit of playing around I managed to find the source of my problem. The way I had the function's call set up was flawed and caused it to target the wrong entity which made each arrow start essentially teleport to the ground.

👍🏻

Player NBT cannot be edited

@@TimberForge ok thanks. i decided to use fuse 0 creepers instead to create the same effect.

you cant rotate an arrow, you'll have to use another entity, do the math and store the results into the arrow

Are you sure you are not just lagging? Check your tick speed in the F3 menu, it should be somewhere around 10 or something I think.

same

Yes but its harder and more commands

I recommend making a data pack, its pretty simple

No idea

You cannot do data packs on bedrock edition, and the commands are more limited. Sorry, I don’t know too much else about it.

Timber Forge well thank you anyway I have been considering getting java for my PC anyway I just wish there were some kind of way to get all the good features from bedrock Like the Star Wars pack or 3-D skins for example On Java Or vice versa

I use to use vscode now i use atom.io, and I used an mcfunction extension/plugin for both.

@@TimberForge what is the one used in this video?

@@TimberForge also, what extension do you use for atom?

Idk specifically but its an mcfunction extension with autofill

You think that’s advanced? Clearly never tried crayons on a wall.

@@TimberForge That? We all know the greatest form of art is scratching rocks onto other rocks.

That’s odd, did you make sure that none of it is looping or calling itself? What entity are you using? Maybe the numbers are too high?

@@TimberForge I have tried many diffrent entities and only the small ones like snowballs and arrows dont teleport, i've tried a lot of diffrent numbers but it seems very choppy. It's probably just my ole computer though

The teleportation should only happen once. Maybe put a say command into your function(s) to make sure it only runs once.

Here's a short video showing what I'm talking about: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AjLEx9m8y5w.html

same problem here, but not for falling blocks, they work fine.

Yeah just make the function run on snow golems

@@TimberForge okies

Maybe you are trying to go advanced without first learning the basics.
