Increase Boat Speed

I'm trying to simulate a car by manipulating boat velocity. Here's what i have:

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void move(VehicleMoveEvent event) {
        Vehicle car = event.getVehicle();
        if(car instanceof Boat) {   
            ((Boat) car).setMaxSpeed(100.0D);
            car.setVelocity(car.getVelocity().multiply(100.0D));
            ((Boat) car).setWorkOnLand(true);
        }
    }

It doesn't work. Is there anything wrong with my code?

 

@DogeDebugger Put in debug messages

 

Didn't you just make a thread about this on the spigot forums?

 

ik i did lol

i had it broadcast the velocity, but its mostly gibberish:

You might need to set the deceleration rate. http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/entity/Boat.html

 

that didnt help much.

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void move(VehicleMoveEvent event) {
        Vehicle car = event.getVehicle();
        if(car instanceof Boat) {  
            ((Boat)car).setVelocity(car.getVelocity().multiply(10.0D));
            ((Boat) car).setOccupiedDeceleration(10.0D);
        }
    }

@teej107

 

The deceleration field just adds to the rate of deceleration (it defaults to -1). Setting it to 10 would make it stop 10 times faster. You'd either have to use NMS or keep trying with your velocity method I believe.

 

that sucks. thanks for the tip tho.
erm, have any idea what do do with the velocities? :]
