Spinning Armor Stand that moves into the direction where player is looking.

[lone solstice]

Self explanatory title, i tried making my own code for this but it doesn't seem like working, I recently started learning about vectors and uh I'm kinda rusty at it. My goal is to let the armor stand move towards the target block slowly and then when it touches a wall or ground it disappears. Here's the code I have so far:

on right click:
    player is holding a iron hoe
    if name of player's held item is "%{goofy.staff}%":
        cancel event
        play sound "entity.ghast.ambient" with volume 1000 to all players in radius 3 around player
        spawn 1 armor stand at location of player
        add nbt compound from "{Invisible:1b}" to nbt of last spawned armor stand
        add nbt compound from "{NoGravity:1b}" to nbt of last spawned armor stand
        set helmet of last spawned armor stand to player head
        set {astand::%last spawned armor stand%} to "goofy"

        set {_v} to vector from player to target block
        set vector length of {_v} to 0.1
        set {_loc} to location of player
        loop (distance between {_loc} and target block) / 0.1 times:
            loop all armor stands:
                if {astand::%loop-entity%} is "goofy":
                    teleport loop-entity to {_loc}
                    set {_loc} to {_loc} ~ {_v}

                    if block below loop-entity is not air:
                        delete loop-entity
                        stop```

please don't mind the last few lines lol i am just out of ideas

why you looping all armor stands

[feral jacinth]

While armor stand is alive.

[lone solstice]

yes i know i removed that like 5 minutes after posting the code

[cold plover]

set the rotation tag to yaw and pitch of player

[lone solstice]

anyways with the moving of the armor stand towards where player is looking

whats the most efficient way of doing it

[lone solstice]

by rotation tag do you mean like the nbt? or

[cold plover]

yes

[feral jacinth]

Vectors

[lone solstice]

so

set {_v} to vector from player to target block
set vector length of {_v} to 0.1
set {_loc} to location of player
loop (distance between {_loc} and target block) / 0.1 times:```

[feral jacinth]

Yes

[lone solstice]

alright

and with the moving

what do i do IN the loop

[feral jacinth]

Set loc to loc ~ vector

Then tp it to the loc

[lone solstice]

set {_v} to vector from player to target block
set vector length of {_v} to 0.1
set {_loc} to location of player
loop (distance between {_loc} and target block) / 0.1 times:
 set {_loc} to {_loc} ~ {_v}
 teleport last spawned armor stand to {_loc}``` so i did this but when i click again while one armor stand is currently moving it just stops

it may be because of the last spawned armor stand but

[feral jacinth]

Correct

[lone solstice]

cant think of another way of doing this

[feral jacinth]

Now what do you think you could replace last spawned armor stand with?

[lone solstice]

i dont know my first thought was to create a variable but that sounds bad

[feral jacinth]

Nope that's fine

Also make it a local var

[lone solstice]

{_}?

[feral jacinth]

Yes

[lone solstice]

got it

so i did this so the bullet (the head) isnt that fast but now its just too slow and you cant go below 1 tick afaik

[feral jacinth]

Increase the length

[lone solstice]

oh yeah that makes sense

wait why is it clipping through blocks now

okay nevermind fixed it

changed the value from 0.1 to 0.5

just like the length

okay now the rotation

[lone solstice]

ok finally got it fully working
