Creating a simple car

So i'm wanting to know how i could make it so that a mine cart or boat can move on land without rails/water, I've tried many ways but have not been the slightest successful in any, so i was wondering if anyone has some ideas on how i would go about doing this thnx.

 

Have you tried this?

 

@teej107 no xD. how would i apply it?

 

@ChintziSecilMC
With basic Java?

1. Listen for player entering cart
2. Use that method
3. ???

 

@Scimiguy
4. Profit

But seriously, you would use it as such

Code:

//inside a runnable
public void run(){
for(Minecarts m : MineCartsThatMoveOnLand){
if(m.getPassager() != null){//there is an entitiy inside it
m.setDerailedVelocityMod(m.getPassager().getLocation().getDirection().multiplied(/*if you want it to go faster/slower*/));
}
}
}

 

@Zombie_Striker
Would you not use VehicleEnterEvent? Seems better performance than running something all the time

 

@Scimiguy
But that would mean that it will only set the direction ONCE (when the player enters the minecart), meaning that it will only go in ONE direction, not where the player is looking. If you want it to continually go in any direction, you would need a runnable.

 

@Zombie_Striker actually, you can listen for player move event. Moving the screen is considered a move event.

 

@Hex_27
True, but doesn't the Modifier decrease? That would mean if the player does not move his head (because PlayerMoveEVent only gets fired when a player moves his head or WALKS (not rides)), it will only trigger once and as such the minecart would stop.

 

@Zombie_Striker
Nope, I did it with planes, it works fine. I did it with a moving minecart that travelled along the floor too, but it couldn't move up blocks, and I didn't use that way.
