How to create a vehicle/spaceship

I wanted to know if it was possible to create a vehicle (it can also be a boat - so no new shape) and if how.

Hope someone knows...

The only way of doing this besides a client mod is to move a huge set of blocks like movecraft does. However this creates a lot of lag and is really inefficient.

 

Really?!? Even if its only one block?

 

goodstuff20 A single block wouldn't create an issue. If you're familiar with the plugin WorldEdit, you can compare it to that. Changing a few blocks generally has no noticeable change on your server, but if you were to change 100,000 blocks the server is generally going to lag.

 

So if I only use one block as a vehicle & don't move too fast - and if it is then possible to create a vehicle - how?

 

I think some people didn't understand what you were saying (or I am misunderstanding). If you want to use a boat or minecart, you can just keep track of it and then alter it's velocity based on player input, which shouldn't be too laggy (at least, not as laggy as using block changes to 'move' a giant ship)

 

Ok - I'm rather new in bukkit - could you show me some pseudo code or real code pls?

 

Well, give some examples of when you'd want the minecart to do something.

 

I would like to be able to drive the minecart/boat like a car(can be the same like a boat on the street)

 

You want the minecart to drive on land (without rails,) like a boat does, only faster?

 

Yes - but it can also be a boat driving on land - to make the controls easier

so does anybody know how to let a player controll a boat as a car (driving on the street)?
Pseudo code is fine

we arent going to code it for you. You show us YOUR code, we help you along the way.

Thx micro geek - but I didn't quite get how to do the velocity

 

im not all to certain if this will work but setWorkOnLand.setMaxSpeed()

im 90% possitive that wont work so if it doesnt heres the api reference
http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/doxygen/dc/dbd/interfaceorg_1_1bukkit_1_1entity_1_1Boat.html

wait that wont work it would have to be

Code:

setWorkOnLand(true);
setMaxSpeed(speed);

youd need to replace "speed" with the speed of the boat

Thx master mustard

 

tell me if that code bit i gave you doesnt work once you export your code out into a jar i like to know what things do or dont work

 

Ok will do

How do check if a player is inside a boat?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

player.getVehicle() instanceof Boat

 

Thx

Um setWorkOnLand(true);

Doesn't work

show me the code

 

public void VehicleEnter(VehicleEnterEvent evt, Player player, Entity Boat) {
if(player.getVehicle() instanceof Boat) {
boolean setWorkOnLand(true);
}
}

 

what are you trying to get it to do and if u want it to move on land youd need it to be VehicleMoveEvent (idk if thats an event but sumtin like that

 

Ok thx - could you give me some code or something? (Just a question)

 

And should it be the constructor or not (with void)?
