How to SHOW the player name when he is sneaking?

I want to show the player's name when he is sneaking for a minigame.
Is there any way to do it?

 

In the chat or above his head?
If you want to show it above his head, its impossible.
For the chat, listen to PlayerToggleSneakEvent and check if the event.isSneaking()

He's meaning the above head quite obviously and I'm pretty sure that this is possible.

 

ArthurMaker Instead of looking at how you can make the name be showing you better look at how to capture the sneak packet (PacketPlayOutEntityMetadata I guess) and than check if the datawatcher etc. contains the sneaking part, if so, stop it from being send.(The player will still go slow and will not fall of edges but other players will just see him standing there)

 

Packetman to the rescue!

 

Can't you accomplish the same thing by canceling the PlayerSneakEvent?

 

Garris0n Yes but no. Cancelling the sneak event will cause the player itself no longer be able to sneak, and players won't be able to sneak. If you do my way you will still be able to sneak and have the deiserd effect (not falling off blocks) but without others to see you're sneaking.

 

Ah I thought canceling it only prevented other people from seeing the player sneaking.

 

Garris0n Well I've never used the event tho, I'm only assuming that cancelling it will result in no longer being able to sneak :/ (well at the client side you will still see yourself sneaking but I guess the "level of protection" is gone. Wouldn't know though since I've never used it)

EDIT: Hmm, You may be right, there's a chance the sneaking is client side so the server actually doesn't have to bother about protecting the player, if this is the case then yes, indeed, you're right

 

I think the reason it happens is the server can't actually force the client to stop sneaking, so it just stops it server-side, making everybody else see them as standing. I'm not positive either, though.

 

Garris0n Added edit, that's also a possibility (reload your page and look at my post)

 

I know shotbow made it so when you shift it displays to everyone else like you are standing, so probably packets like CaptainBern said

Now that is a problem. I'm horrible with packets. Can anyone help me? :s

 

ArthurMaker Wait untill protocollib is updated. Then ping me up.

 

CaptainBern Oh thank you!
