is it possible to make a skeleton horse faster in lava?

[crystal canyon]

i've tried alot but nothing worked

[raven sorrel]

Have a predicate check if it's in Lava, and if it is, give it a movement_speed attribute modifier. If it isn't, removed that modifier

[crystal canyon]

it doesnt work for me

[raven sorrel]

Show your work

[raven sorrel]

Try adding a modifier to increase its movement efficiency

[crystal canyon]

how do i do that?

[raven sorrel]

Same way you added a modifier to its movement speed, just a different attribute

[crystal canyon]

oh so movement efficiency and not movement speed? i've tried it already and it didn't work

[raven sorrel]

Show your work

[crystal canyon]

i just did the same as before but instead of speed i did movement efficiency in the command

[raven sorrel]

I need to see what you're doing to confirm it's being done correctly

[raven sorrel]

Not sure then

[crystal canyon]

did it work for you?

[raven sorrel]

I'm not testing it

[crystal canyon]

oh okay thank you for trying to help i doubt its even possible

[hot quiver]

One last thing you should probably try, a thing we should have thought of before to modify:

minecraft:water_movement_efficiency

This is the attribute type that is used by the depth strider enchantment (which in essence is what you are trying to replicate for lava)

[crystal canyon]

thank you but i've also tried that already

[hot quiver]

then your last resort is trying to somehow trick the game into making the skeletal horse a strider

[hot quiver]

Alright so what you could do is use the fact that a strider will run away from a skeleton horse by default. As long as you can make it face the way the skeleton_horse is facing and maybe make it invisible you should be able to make it look like the horse is doing it.

[crystal canyon]

that sounds really complicated honestly

maybe a little off topic but is it possible to make horses run away from the player?

[hot quiver]

Not directly no, we have little to no ways to change the mob AI. You could use snowballs with an Owner to make them think a player hit them or something similar but that would trigger erratic movements like they normally would.

Most complex movements are in the Brain object that only works for specific mob types. Horses don't have this and can't use this.

thank you for explaining i appreciate it
