Solved Adding velocity from point a to point b

Hello!

i am trying to move an armorstand that the player is riding in a pattern, i can get the point i want to move it to as well as where it is, i cant teleport it as you cant teleport something that has a passenger (well you can kick the passenger out teleport the stand then add the passenger back but that looks extremely shaky) so i need to add velocity to the armor stand, the problem is im not good at vector math.


this is what i have: (entity is the Armour stand)

Code (Text):

    new BukkitRunnable() {
            double t = 0;
            double r = 1;
         
            public void run() {
                t = t + Math.PI / 16;
                double x = r * Math.cos(t);
                double y = t;
                double z = r * Math.sin(t);
                loc.add(x, y, z);
                Vector to = new Vector((entity.getLocation().getX() - loc.getX()),entity.getLocation().getY()  -         loc.getY(),entity.getLocation().getZ()  - loc.getZ());
                to.normalize();
                to.multiply(1);
                entity.setVelocity(to);
    loc.subtract(x, y, z);
 

 

im trying to make a amusement park ride, and i dont want to use minecarts as i cant make them invisible and i cant use animals as i need to display a custom model wich can be achieved by placing the custom model on the armor stands head

 

while this would work i would like (if possible) to keep the player in the sitting animation, also constantly teleporting the player constantly locks there view.

 

you cant teleport a entity that has a passenger, if you could i would just teleport the armor stand.

 

Got it, just had to fix my math

(for anyone who was having the same problem here is my code)

Code (Text):

Vector pos = entity.getLocation().toVector();
                Vector target = loc.toVector();
                Vector velocity = target.subtract(pos);
                entity.setVelocity(velocity.normalize().multiply(0.5));
