Sneak eye offset

[Oil_boi]

I created this small bit of code to lower the player's eyesight when they sneak

Code: Select all

sneak_table = {}
minetest.register_on_joinplayer(function(player)
  sneak_table[player:get_player_name()] = false
end)

minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime)
 for _,player in ipairs(minetest.get_connected_players()) do
   --get if player is sneaking
   local sneaking = player:get_player_control().sneak

   --affect camera if sneaking changed
   if sneaking ~=  sneak_table[player:get_player_name()] then
     if sneaking == true then
       player:set_eye_offset({x=0,y=-2,z=0},{x=0,y=-2,z=0})
     else
       player:set_eye_offset({x=0,y=0,z=0},{x=0,y=0,z=0})
     end
   end

   --store sneak bool for next loop
   sneak_table[player:get_player_name()] = sneaking
 end
end)

Good one. Should be put to use in all MT games imo.

It would be nice if it was smoother, and if the player's model would be in a crawling position when it happened. Oh, and make the player's model one node taller. Then we'll have full-fledged crawling! One node tall tunnels become possible!

It’s this kind of small details that make Minecraft feel more polished than Minetest.

Thanks for this great idea!

Afaik it already is possible. All we need is to have proper crouching animation.

The code has a problem:
It is setting eye offset for every player every global step (10 times per second) whether or not eye offset needs changing. A table should store the sneak state of each player and eye offset only changed when it needs to be.

I updated the code in the main post to only change camera if sneak doesn't equal sneak from last tick:

Code: Select all

sneak_table = {}
minetest.register_on_joinplayer(function(player)
  sneak_table[player:get_player_name()] = false
end)

minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime)
 for _,player in ipairs(minetest.get_connected_players()) do
   --get if player is sneaking
   local sneaking = player:get_player_control().sneak

   --affect camera if sneaking changed
   if sneaking ~=  sneak_table[player:get_player_name()] then
     if sneaking == true then
       player:set_eye_offset({x=0,y=-2,z=0},{x=0,y=-2,z=0})
     else
       player:set_eye_offset({x=0,y=0,z=0},{x=0,y=0,z=0})
     end
   end

   --store sneak bool for next loop
   sneak_table[player:get_player_name()] = sneaking
 end
end)


Thanks for the tip!
