Checking for Minecart at Specific Location - Possible?

Hey everyone,

Is it possible to check for a minecart at a specific location?
For example, finding if a minecart is located at x,y,z.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

 

better try if it is over a X Block just like what minecart mania does

 

MinecartManiaCore has a helper method you can use, MinecartManiaWorld.getMinecartAt(x,y,z). Just add MMC to your libraries, call it up, and go.

 

Hmm,, sounds handy.

However, if I weren't to use MinecartManiaCore, is there any default functionality within bukkit to do this?
Or would I ultimately need to have the server manually keeping track of the location of all the minecarts?

 

Bukkit does not keep track Of entities for you like Hmod did, you'd need to write a lot of code to do it w/o MMC

 

Alright, thanks.

One last question: How do I speed up a minecarts speed? I assume that this is possible with setVelocity(), however, I haven't had much luck when messing around with it.

If anyone knows how to do this, your answer is greatly appreciated =]

 

setVelocity takes a vector. Vectors consist of an X, Y and Z value. It's just a fancy object to represent 3 double values, don't let it confuse you.
