Mimicking Player Sleep Animation

I have a really good idea for a plugin and would need player to lay down on the ground ( with no bed ) and was wondering if there was code to mimic this animation. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this works without a bed but http://mc.kev009.com/Protocol#Use_Bed_.280x11.29

You will need to import the craftbukkit.jar server file as well as packet send to all players on the server.

 

Hmm maybe I could replace the ground underneath with a bed? So would this be a major task?

Not at all. Packet sending is just like:

Code:

player.sendPacket(Packet.SLEEP);

except that it doesn't have an API so it may look more complicated and it's also less documented than the Bukkit API but overall, it probably takes only 5 lines of code to accomplish.

 

Hmm i will look into that then. Thanks again r0306. You are definitely the person who has replied to my threads the most haha. I look forward to your continued help.

 

Np.

 

Would'nt it work to send a fake/Client bed to the client and make him lie in it?

 

1. That post is from about 4 months ago; they may not respond and it is probably solved
2. Is that not what they just suggested?!

 

I dont care i still need to know this myself...

 

Well have you tried packets?

 

Im not sure have to use them yet

 

You can kinda get it to work, but it's very buggy. The sleeping player will occasionally fall through the top layer, and almost disappear into the floor.

I don't know if it's fixable on a vanilla client. It seems like the client will ignore the y-position the server sends and calculate it based on the nearest solid block. It might be possible with Spout, however.
