Increasing boat speed

I'm making a boat plugin on the side, and I wondered how you would go about increasing forward boat speed. I've tried just increasing X, but then rotation doesn't work. What is the best way to just increase boat speed when a player attempts to move foward?

 

Your "Unannounced" plugin obviously deals with boats eh? Asking about rotation before and now speed? Doesn't the javadocs have something about this? You probably have to edit the Boat class.

 

We'll see, we'll see . You might be barking up the wrong tree though... I'll check the javadocs now, I guess. Anyone else have methods?

EDIT: Checked... What is this motX?

 

Hmmm.... not sure. Give me the link to the boat class and I'll check it out. So my guess is close eh?

EDIT: Checked it out. Use setVelocity();. It should work.

 

Well, you'll just have to find out. Bear in mind that I do a lot of plugin requests for friends... SetVelocity() was what I was using XD. It doesn't work for me... setVelocity(x*3,y,z*3) would just make it go forward, no turning.

All I need is a way to increase speed on land, and I'm set.

 

well x and z velocity produce the direction (values can also be negative)

and keep in mind that there is a max speed limit of 0.4D in each direction, though this can be changed with latest bukkit
