Play Effect.

I'm not having any luck on producing "redstone particles" on a hit location,
Here's my code for it.

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onEntityDamageEvent(EntityDamageEvent event){
Player hitted = (Player) event.getEntity();
hitted.getLocation().getWorld().playEffect(hitted.getLocation(), Effect.STEP_SOUND, Material.REDSTONE_WIRE);
    }

Not sure if im using the correct Event or my location is wrong.

Thanks for reading.

Or is it my effect ?

Im still getting no luck on this :/

Anyone got a clue what im doing wrong ?

 

Hello,
Effect.STEP_SOUND is not a visual effect. So I think is not possible to play restone particles effect. Visual effect are: SMOKE, POTION_BREAK (include bottle break sound too ), ENDER_SIGNAL, MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES.

 

Ah i see :/

Well thanks for the help anyways, much appreicated

 

Actually it is a visual effect..It's the effect when a block breaks and when you sprint over a block.
Scratchytheitchy it probably doesn't work because you didn't registered the listener. Try adding debug messages to see if the event get fired properly.

 

I always forget about something, thanks CaptainBern

Ill get back if my problem still occurs.

 

You're welcome!

 

CaptainBern Ohhh! You opened my eyes! I will check this effect again Thank you

 

You're welcome!

 

Code:

package com.gmail.scott.mess16;
 
import org.bukkit.Effect;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityDamageEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class BloodEffect extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
 
 
   
   
    public final Listener entityListener =(this);
 
    public void OnEnable() {
    PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
    pm.registerEvents(this.entityListener, this);}
    public void OnDisable() {
    }
   
    @EventHandler
    public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageEvent event){
    Player hitted = (Player) event.getEntity();
    hitted.getLocation().getWorld().playEffect(hitted.getLocation(), Effect.STEP_SOUND, Material.REDSTONE);
    }      
    }
    

I have watched and read about listeners, and i still dont fully understand them

This code doesnt work, but its got to do with my horrible (embaressing) attempt with Listeners.

Thanks for reading.

 

Okay so this wouldn't work as you don't make a Listener, you make a variable of the type class that implements it (I believe) so if you were to do it that way you would not do:

Code:java

public final Listener entityListener =(this);

You would do this:

Code:java

public BloodEffect entityListener = this;

Although it's very, very unnecessary... So let's get rid of that shall we? Instead we'll replace it with the keyword 'this' (which is just a reference to the class it is used in):

Code:java

package com.gmail.scott.mess16;
 
import org.bukkit.Effect;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityDamageEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class BloodEffect extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
    @Override
    public void OnEnable() {
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        // no need to make an instance of the class when you can just say 'this'
        pm.registerEvents(this, this);
    }
 
    @Override
    public void OnDisable() {
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageEvent event){
        Player hitted = (Player) event.getEntity();
        hitted.getLocation().getWorld().playEffect(hitted.getLocation(), Effect.STEP_SOUND, Material.REDSTONE);
    }
 
}

Once you get your listener and everything going and if it still doesn't work try:

Code:java

hitted.getLocation().getWorld().playEffect(hitted.getLocation(), Effect.STEP_SOUND, Material.REDSTONE.getID());

Great reference for the Bukkit Event API: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Event_API_Reference

 

Ah i see.

Thanks for taking your time to explain it and help.
Ill test this later when i have time

 

Sounds great! Let me know how it turns out eh

 

Sure, will do!

 

WiredWingzzz Scratchytheitchy You should make a check if the entity is a player first and then cast it into a player, because otherwise it'll throw a lot of errors

 

That's very true.

 

I see, thanks for the heads up.

 

I believe if you only want it for players, otherwise just use Entity (or perhaps LivingEntity) and do it that way.

Code:java

LivingEntity hitted = (LivingEntity) event.getEntity();

This way any LivingEntity ie: zombie, player, skeleton can have the blood come out. Although you may want to get a bit specific like make skeletons perhaps have bones spurt out or white wool STEP_SOUND or something of the sort (Like sorting what item/animation per mob, just a thought).

 

Code:

package com.gmail.scott.mess16;
 
import org.bukkit.Effect;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.LivingEntity;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityDamageEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class BloodEffect extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
 
    public void OnEnable() {
    PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
    pm.registerEvents(this, this);}
   
   
    public void OnDisable() {
    }
   
    @EventHandler
    public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageEvent event){
    LivingEntity hitted = (LivingEntity) event.getEntity();
    hitted.getLocation().getWorld().playEffect(hitted.getLocation(), Effect.STEP_SOUND, Material.REDSTONE_WIRE);
    }
   
    }
    

Its still not working, ive tried Material.REDSTONE_WIRE, Material.REDSTONE and Material.REDSTONE.getId

Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

 

Errors or anything? Not sure what you mean by not working exactly, mind letting us know a little bit more detail?

 

No redstone particles are prodouced when attacking, and theres no errors :/

 

I think you need an action try this.

Code:java

 
 if (event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
   hitted.getLocation().getWorld().playEffect(hitted.getLocation(), Effect.STEP_SOUND, Material.REDSTONE.getID());
        }
 

Also Check this out: LINK

You can'y have the Material.REDSTONE.getID() there it goes like this:

Find from the Bukkit API

Alright, ill try that and play about with it.
Thanks!
