Failed to write a script that can let palyer move only one block.

[Andy718811]

I tried to put this script in keybind script, but the game just crashed, what I want is a code that when I press "J", the player will move one block left relative to current position.

float x;
float y;
float z;
string s;
string dir;
while(true){
    x=player.getX();
    y=player.getY();
    z=player.getZ();
    dir=player.getDirection();
    keys.left.setDown(true);
    if(dir=="west"){
        if (player.getZ()==(z+1))
        {
            keys.left.setDown(false);
            break;
        }
    }
    else if(dir=="east")
    {
        if (player.getZ()==(z-1))
        {
            keys.left.setDown(false);
            break;
        }
    }
}

I modified this code, it didn't crash the game, but when I press "J", my character just keep miving left.

float x;
float y;
float z;
x=player.getX();
y=player.getY();
z=player.getZ();
string dir;
dir=player.getDirection();
while(true){
    keys.left.setDown(true);
    if(dir=="west"){
        if (player.getZ()==(z+1))
        {
            keys.left.setDown(false);
            break;
        }
    }
    else if(dir=="east")
    {
        if (player.getZ()==(z-1))
        {
            keys.left.setDown(false);
            break;
        }
    }
    await delay.ticks(10);
}
keys.left.setDown(false);

No, I am pretty sure it's not that problem, and the problem is when I press "J" about three or four times(the character has speed 5 potion effect), the character will just keep going left.

[Andy718811]

Is it probably because of the keybind sysytem is too sensitive?

[Andy718811]

It's weird when I press the key too ofen, the chacacter will just keep going left, adn I am pretty sure I am facing east or west.
I was on a multiplayer server, and my character has a Speed V potion effect.
Here is my code.

float x;
float y;
float z;

z=math.floor(player.getZ());
string dir;
dir=player.getDirection();

keys.left.setDown(true);
while (true) {
    if (dir == "west" && math.floor(player.getZ()) >= z + 1) {
        break;
    } else if (dir == "east" && math.floor(player.getZ()) <= z - 1) {
        break;
    }

    await delay.ticks(1);
}
keys.left.setDown(false);

Just add a check in the code:

float x;
float y;
float z;

z=math.floor(player.getZ());
string dir;
dir=player.getDirection();

if (dir != "west" && dir != "east") {
    ui.systemMessage("Direction was " + dir);
    return;
}

keys.left.setDown(true);
while (true) {
    if (dir == "west" && math.floor(player.getZ()) >= z + 1) {
        break;
    } else if (dir == "east" && math.floor(player.getZ()) <= z - 1) {
        break;
    }

    await delay.ticks(1);
}
keys.left.setDown(false);

I don't know what else it can be. It works fine for me. Unless I look close to diagonal, and rotate the camera when script starts working. Then yes, it can go indefinitely to the left, but this left becomes north direction for example.

Thank you, the problem has solved.
