Welcome!


Finally, I succeeded in making a tutorial to create your own working tank.






The goal of this tutorial made of 3 parts is to explain how to create your own working tank for Minecraft 1.12.12!






At the end, the tank will be able to move, turn and shoot.






Precisely, in this second part, we will focus on the programming part.






! BEWARE !


This technology is pretty hazardous so I highly recommend you to back-up your world or create a new one before beginning.






Here are all the commands:






WORKING TANK: TUTORIAL






Preparation:






Tank’s mobs:


/summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"Tank1",NoGravity:1b,Invisible:1,NoBasePlate:1}


/summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"TankTp1",NoGravity:1b,Invisible:1,NoBasePlate:1}


/summon villager ~ ~-0.25 ~1 {CustomName:"TankSpirit",NoGravity:1b,Profession:0,Offers:{Recipes:[{rewardExp:0b,maxUses:2147483647,uses:0,buy:{id:"minecraft:barrier",Count:1b},sell:{id:"minecraft:barrier",Count:1b}},{rewardExp:0b,maxUses:2147483647,uses:0,buy:{id:"minecraft:barrier",Count:1b},sell:{id:"minecraft:barrier",Count:1b}}]},PersistenceRequired:1,NoAI:1,Silent:1,ActiveEffects:[{Id:14,Amplifier:0,Duration:20000000,ShowParticles:0b}]}






Scoreboards creation:


/scoreboard objectives add BOOM dummy


/scoreboard objectives add WEST dummy


/scoreboard objectives add EAST dummy


/scoreboard objectives add NORTH dummy


/scoreboard objectives add SOUTH dummy


/scoreboard objectives add SHOOT dummy






Shell system:


/scoreboard players set @e[type=arrow,name=Shell] BOOM 1 {inGround:1b}


/execute @e[type=arrow,name=Shell,score_BOOM_min=1] ~ ~ ~ /summon tnt


/kill @e[type=arrow,score_BOOM_min=1]






Creation of a new tank:


Before:


/kill @e[type=armor_stand,name=Tank1]


/kill @e[type=armor_stand,name=TankTp1]


/kill @e[type=villager,name=TankSpirit]






After:


/execute @e[type=armor_stand,c=1,name=Tank1] ~ ~ ~ /scoreboard players set @e[type=armor_stand,name=Tank1] NORTH 1
