minecart speed?

sorry for asking alot of questions, im trying to get into new parts of bukkit.

What do i need to do in order to get the speed of the minecart. I tried to do this.

Code:

    public void onVehicleEntityCollision(VehicleEntityCollisionEvent event){
        Entity entity = event.getEntity();
        Vehicle vehicle = event.getVehicle();
        if(entity instanceof Player){
            Player player = (Player)entity;
            if (vehicle instanceof Minecart && (vehicle.getVelocity().equals(10)));
                    player.damage(1);
        }
    }
}

i tried to see if the velocity equals 10. But the player gets damaged even when the minecart is standing still.

 

Velocity is a vector, and can't be compared to an integer. You first have to get it's length:

Code:

if (vehicle instanceof Minecart && vehicle.getVelocity().length() >= 10)
    player.damage(1);
}

 

Your problem is actually that you have a semicolon at the end of the if statement, so the line below it is actually not part of the if statement at all, but outside and after it.
