Topic category: Help with modding (Java Edition)
Hello, I was working on a small mod for my server mostly for minigames. I was looking for a way to push players with a fan block. The fan block has different rotations and depending on the rotation if the player stands in front of the player they get pushed.
So, far I have done as shown in the image. It seems to be working for items and other entities (when I set it to living entity or mob) but it just doesn't work for players.
Can someone please help me with this. not sure how to approach this.

From my testing, it seems to only work(pushes the player) if i set the trigger to when right-click on the block. And I need to keep on right-clicking the block for it to work. (I wanted it to be active permanently or when powered by Redstone)
For some reason, player velocity seems to have problems being overriden by blocks. (I ran into a similar problem while trying to make a block that launched things away from it when powered- it worked for ever mob except the player.) Instead, use the override motion vector block- instead of making the trigger run through the block, make a procedure that triggers on player tick update to check for the fan block within a certain radius of the player, and adjust their velocity based on the direction of the block, and its position relative to the player.
