Why doesn't teleporting work?

I'm using $player->teleport() on PlayerJoinEvent, but it doesn't work. Why doesn't it and how can I fix it?

Make a task do it.. already have many similar threads.

What do you mean? And could you post a link to one, I din't found one..

Code? Most likely something to do with the code.

PHP:

$player = $event->getPlayer();
        $x = $this->getConfig()->getNested("lobby.x");
        $y = $this->getConfig()->getNested("lobby.y");
        $z = $this->getConfig()->getNested("lobby.z");
        $player->teleport(new Vector3($x, $y, $z));

I had this issue when developing SpawnMgr. Pocketmine does a teleport AFTER the join event. So whatever teleport you did is lost. What I did was to remove the teleport in the join event handler instead that would trigger a delayed task. Then the delayed task wold do the teleport.

Below is the code directly out of my AlwaysSpawn plugin:

PHP:

<?php
    namespace philipshilling\alwaysspawn;
  
    use pocketmine\plugin\PluginBase as Plugin;
    use pocketmine\event\Listener;
    use pocketmine\event\player\PlayerLoginEvent;
    use pocketmine\math\Vector3;
              
    class Loader extends Plugin implements Listener {
        public function onEnable() {
            $this->getServer()->getPluginManager()->registerEvents($this, $this);
            $this->getServer()->getLogger()->info("AlwaysSpawn Enabled!");
        }
      
        public function onPlayerLogin(PlayerLoginEvent $event) {
            $player = $event->getPlayer();
            $x = $this->getServer()->getDefaultLevel()->getSafeSpawn()->getX();
            $y = $this->getServer()->getDefaultLevel()->getSafeSpawn()-> getY();
            $z = $this->getServer()->getDefaultLevel()->getSafeSpawn()->getZ();
            $level = $this->getServer()->getDefaultLevel();
            $player->teleport(new Vector3($x, $y, $z, $level));
        }
      
        public function onDisable() {
            $this->getServer()->getLogger()->info("AlwaysSpawn is no longer enabled! Did the server stop?");
        }
    }


EDIT: If you decide to use my code to ease development, don't copy-paste it. Edit it a little to make it your own.

That's actually the same as mine, just not the level thing. I will try it with it, thanks!

Doesn't work, I will use @aliuly's version. Thanks!

The reason that didn't work is because you were using PlayerJoinEvent not PlayerLoginEvent.

*facepalm* Works now, thanks! xD

I spent hours trying to figure out why PlayerJoinEvent wouldnt do that too youre not alone XD

What's the difference between Join and Login?

I dont know if im right about this but I think Join is called when the client and server are communicating then Login is called right before (or maybe during idk) the player spawns.

Now I'd better use PlayerLoginEvent... XD

@shoghicp recommended to use PlayerRespawnEvent the respawn position setter, which is also called when player joins.
