(Plugin) View

[Breakdown901]

I'm not sure if this is possible or not because I think you'd need the Minecraft source code, but would it be possible to make a plugin where you could view someone else's perspective from the Console?
For Example: you are too busy to actually play, so you go onto the view plugin and watch what someone is doing.

This is a nice idea, I will see if I can make it soon .

[Breakdown901]

I didnt think it would be possible just for the textures and Java and things like that.

This would be awsome, but this is some advanced stuff.

Actually idk if I can get this to work. I would have to access the computer's screen and take a picture and send it back to the main computer. (sounds kinda like a virus)

[Breakdown901]

Yeah, thats why I didnt think it was possible

Lol first you would have to get Java running--a mess for laggy computers-- then you would have to initiate the /follow command I think...

but yeah idk if this will work because console using /follow = error or at least for now it is

(Idea incoming)
A custom command would be cool, you only must be in the game itself.
The code will be a clock that checks the player's position you follow, and than make the player who wants to follow the other player, the other players position, including stuff with the head. That would be possible, look at the /train command.

I am working on the command. Here's the code, you can't do anything with it because it is broken.

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace MCDzienny
{
    public class CmdViewPlayer : Command
    {
        public override string name { get { return "viewplayer"; } }
        public override string shortcut { get { return "vp"; } }
        public override string type { get { return "other"; } }
        public override bool museumUsable { get { return false; } }
        public override LevelPermission defaultRank { get { return LevelPermission.Banned; } }

        public Player targetPlayer;
        public bool didAgain = false;
        public bool abort = false;
        public ushort x;
        public ushort y;
        public ushort z;

        public override void Use(Player p, string message)
        {
            if (!didAgain)
            {
                abort = false;
                //get the target player
                string trgt = message.Split(' ')[0].ToLower();
                trgt.Replace(" ", "");
                targetPlayer = Player.Find(trgt);
                if (targetPlayer != null)
                {
                    didAgain = true;
                    viewTarget(targetPlayer, p);
                }
                else
                {
                    Player.SendMessage(p, "The player could not be found.");
                    return;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                abort = true;
                didAgain = false;
                Player.SendMessage(p, "Aborted viewing " + targetPlayer.name + ".");
                return;
            }
        }

        public void viewTarget(Player target, Player player)
        {
            while (!abort)
            {
                player.HandleCommand("tp", " " + target.name);
                Thread.Sleep(1000);
            }
        }

        public override void Help(Player p)
        {
            Player.SendMessage(p, "/view <name> - let's you view an other players view.");
            Player.SendMessage(p, "If you want to abort the view, do /view again.");
        }
    }
}

The thing about what you're doing joppie is that you have to be in the game.

you are too busy to actually play, so you go onto the view plugin and watch what someone is doing.
