Generating an Explosion

If I'm using

Code:

                    double posX = e.getEntity().getLocation().getX();
                    double posY = e.getEntity().getLocation().getY();
                    double posZ = e.getEntity().getLocation().getZ();
                    e.getEntity().getWorld().createExplosion(posX, posY, posZ, 2.1F, false, false);

to generate an explosion, how can I make the explosion be ten blocks in front of where the player? Please do not say "Just add 10 to x" because x is relative. I think I need to do something with Yaw or Pitch and somehow set that + 10 in the explosion. There's no room for Yaw or Pitch in .createExplosion(), though.

 

Why can't you add 10 to x?

 

Try this, or something like it.

Code:

e.getEntity().getWorld().createExplosion(posX, posY, posZ, 2.1F, false, false + e.sendBlockChange(args0, arg1, arg2));

and put in something in the args. I don't know anything about explosions and only am starting with java.

If that doesn't do it, try:

Code:

int blockId = player.getItemInHand().getType().getId();
if(blockId == 280){
Block block = player.getTargetBlock(null, 50);
Location location = block.getLocation();
World world = player.getWorld();
world.createExplosion(location, 5);

That should work.

 

X is not relative to where the player is facing. X is a set direction. I've already tested with setting X plus 10.

Thanks. I already got something else figured out, though.

 

No prob, glad you got it figured out ^-^
