[Feature Request] Hit prediction mode

[SheReyy]

Hi! I'm interested in using this mod on a 1.20.1 forge modpack I'm currently working on. I wanna add a combat system based on Better Combat and Elenai Dodge 2. I'd like to somehow mimic the dodge functionality from marvel's spider-man, or the counter from batman arkham.

Would it be possible to add a new indicator around the player's crosshair whenever a mob or projectile entity is getting close? The indicator can be light blue by default. It can be transparent initially. The closer the mob/entity gets to the player, the more opaque the indicator becomes, until it disappears when the player gets hit. This way, a player can determine when and where an attack might be coming from and they can attempt a dodge. Of course, this feature would have a config so it can be disabled if desired

hitindication-1.20.1-1.5.zip Hi, sending you an early build, if thats to your satisfaction get back to me and i will push it to all versions when im able

rn its on by deafult so you can test it, in final build itll be off by default. there are 3 new config options one for enabling it, second for proximity radius and third for color

oops left a small bug with block color in, heres fix hitindication-1.20.1-1.5.zip

Omg, thank you! I did not expect this at all. I'll test it asap and get back with feedback

Ok, so I tried it. I think it already works pretty good. I think there are some things that would really improve it and turn in into a indispensable tool. Some of these are a bit confusing, so I hope I can explain them well.

1. A key bind for quick disabling/enabling - I imagine a player wouldn't want this indicator in a place such as a mob farm/spawner

Ok, here are the bits I hope I can explain properly.

2. Add a new configurable radius. This will be dedicated to a white border that will appear around the indicator when an entity is near. Why? I found that, often, the maximum opacity of the indicator is not contrasting enough to trigger my reflexes into trying to dodge. I was thinking it could look somehow like this, so it really pops up:

Or something more nice looking

One more thing that would be amazing, would be to allow this config, to be indicated per entity. Basically allow a bigger reaction window for arrows, and a smaller reaction window for zombies.

It can look something like this maybe?

/# A list of entity ids. Used to assign the proximityDanger radius around the player

whitelist = ["minecraft:zombie; priximityDangerRadius = 2", "minecraft:arrow; priximityDangerRadius= 5", "minecraft:spider; priximityDangerRadius= 5"]

If nothing is specified here, maybe this can default to 3 radius for each entity? It would also be amazing if this could work with entity tags too.

3. A whitelist/blacklist (this can be toggled in the config) for entities that can trigger the proximity indicator - this would be more useful for pack makers as they might be interested in configuring the mod so maybe only arrows can work with this system.

/# Setting this to `false` will turn the blacklist into a whitelist
isblacklist = true

/# A list of entity ids. Used to disable the Proximity Indicators for certain entities
blacklist = ["minecraft:zombie", "minecraft:arrow"]

4. Lastly, this one applies only if you're interested in adding the previous suggestions. Add a debug mode so a pack maker would be able to see the entity ids

Sorry for all the text and sorry if this sounds like too much. I don't want this to look or sound demanding in any way. This is just what I thought might make this feature better than it already is. Thanks again for the time and effort spent into making this feature

Thank you for having interest in this mod, I can manage with keybinds, I can try adding contrast qol, but i don't think ill do with whitelists/blacklists unfortunately, maybe in the future, but its a big maybe. as for debug mode that shows entities uuids... i dont think its should be a job for my mod, i just believe it should be a seperate thing

[SheReyy]

Got it. Thanks a lot, this is gonna be amazing for me!

Oh, just a thing I noticed in this version, don't know if you're aware. The Edge of Screen mode doesn't work with the proximity indicator

Hello again, my friend and i decided to go a different direction with this mod, and this feature might not stay. You can keep and use this jar for 1.5 but it might not make it into final release.
