How to make Minecarts drive on Blocks

Hello,

How do i get Minecarts drive on Blocks(Not Rails)?

Pls Post a Example!

 

You can't do this resource effectively. You could actually teleport the minecart e.g. every second one block further, but this would look like playing crysis 3 on a Win95 machine.
If you would want to have a smoother movement, you would have to teleport it in very little intervals, which would be much more resource-intensive. And it still wouldn't look as if the cart was actually on rails.
That's the technical view on it and indeed it's not impossible, however I can't recommend doing that

 

I am looking for a way to do this also. JWhy it's possible... How is it done here?

It is controllable with WASD much like boats.

 

That's not WASD, that's setting the Minecart's velocity to a normalized vector of the player's direction.

 

I said it's possible, but either resource-intensive or looking unrealistic

 

No... It's WASD... Try it for yourself: play.gameslabs.net

 

+1 - I need this for my MineKart plugin, but I have no idea how to do it :/

 

bergerkiller might know, he seems to be the forum expert on minecarts

 

Some people who seem to know their NMS: Comphenix bergerkiller fireblast709 (if s/he is still active) probably forgetting a few people...

 

I'm going to be honest with you: it's not easy to do it. It's not a matter of changing a few values, you will have to rewrite the physics of minecarts entirely. In TrainCarts minecarts can travel on pressure plates and ladders, but guess what, it is not easy peasy.

On a line of rails, you can drive the minecart backwards with the S key, which means the client notifies the server (in some way) about pressing WASD (or at least S). With those information, velocities can be applied to the minecarts to the right directions.

That is not driving on blocks, that is sliding/pushing the minecart on the ground. Unless that is what OP wants.

 

The main thing is that packets about movements are still sent even if the player is in a minecart.

???
Anyway, OP has to be clear whether he wants minecarts to drive on blocks like rails, or whether he wants yet another 'move where you look or walk' functionality.

He said nothing about WASD or player-controlled movement, that is what the lots of you made of it.

 

If the minecart should't be controlled by WASD, then simply apply a velocity to the minecart.

 

ase34
Yes, the easiest way then is to use onVehicleUpdate to multiply the velocity of the minecart with a factor to negate the slowing-down factor (ground friction multiplier) of the velocity. The downside is that the vehicle is moved before onUpdate/onMove is fired, as a result it will look a bit glitchy now and then when moved is not the same as velocity.

Can you show a example pls?
When yes thx.

Sorta like this, didn't check it:

Code:

@EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.LOWEST)
public void onVehicleMove(VehicleMoveEvent event) {
    Vector velocity = event.getVehicle().getVelocity();
velocity = velocity.divide(((Minecart) event.getVehicle()).getDerailedMultiplyer());
event.getVehicle().setVelocity(velocity);
// perhaps also: event.setTo(event.getFrom().add(velocity));
}

Ok thx i got it. Do you know how i stop Minecarts glitching in to Blocks? Pls post a example when know it. Thx.

 

Finicalmist
No I do not, as I had to bugfix all these block entering bugs myself when rewriting the Minecart physics. I do not know how to do it in a way that uses the default Minecart physics in the background.

 

You could probably do this by setting air blocks in the direction the minecart is travelling to powered rails for a bit, before reverting back to the original block. These could even be invisible by sending fake block changes (player.sendBlockChange() or ProtocolLib) to nearby players, tricking the client into seeing air where there really is rail.

That's probably easier than injecting a custom Minecart entity, like bergerkiller did.

 

bergerkiller Comphenix I have been playing around with this. In fact, you don't even need to use custom minecarts or event NMS/NBT! Woo! Version independent!
