Solved Set Armor Stand Velocity

Code:

ArmorStand as = location.getWorld().spawn(location, ArmorStand.class);

        as.setBasePlate(false);
        as.setArms(true);
        as.setVisible(visible);
        as.setRemoveWhenFarAway(true);
        as.setCanPickupItems(false);
        as.setGravity(false);
        as.setSmall(mini);
final Vector direction = location.getDirection();
p.sendMessage(as.getVelocity().toString());
as.setVelocity(direction.normalize().multiply(5));
p.sendMessage(as.getVelocity().toString());

The armor stand does spawn, but it doesn't move. Why does this happen and how can if fix it?

 

@Fred7767 Maybe you could try printing the components of the vector from the location, the armor stand before you apply the velocity, and after you apply the velocity. Unfortunately I'm not too well versed with vectors but that's what I would do if I were in that situation.

 

@bowlerguy66 before: 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
after: 1.27962, 4.041519,-2.651164
still doesn't work

 

@timtower oh yes i did wrong sorry
but its still the same

 

@timtower yes

 

@timtower yes i did it but it still doen't work (if you mean setting velocity by bukkitrunnable every tick)

I found what was the problem. If you set the gravity of the armor stand false, you can't set velocity of the armor stand. Thanks for help though.
