Solved Turn off particles for only ONE person

Please add this library:
https://bukkit.org/threads/1-8-particleeffect-v1-7.154406

• ParticleEffect.NAME.display(Vector direction, float speed, Location center, List<Player> players);

This is the line you should use.
When you want all players to see the particles, as argument players put

Code:

Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers();

When you want that everyone but you see the particles, you would have to make a list and remove yourself.

Code:

        List<Player> players = new ArrayList<Player>();
        for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
        if(p.getName() != me.getName())    { // Replace "me" with your player variable.
        players.add(p);  
        }
        }

And just pass players variable as the players argument.

 

I already have the particles withing. Alli need to know is how to turn them off for only one player. Not how to show to one person or to everyone.

 

@plisov The Bukkit method by default shows the particles to everyone, the only way to control whom receives particles is to actually send the packets yourself

 

Ok. Thanks for the help. Would I put the code in the first post here?

Code:

        List<Player> players = new ArrayList<Player>();
        for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
        if(p.getName() != me.getName())    { // Replace "me" with your player variable.
        (CODE FROM FIRST POST GOES HERE?)
        players.add(p);
        }
        }

 

@plisov You can use ProtocolLib to easily intercept outgoing packets to the clients.

 

I probably did this completely wrong. I have never used Lists so I do not know how to use them. What I did was take the BukkitRunnable from its old location and put it into the for loop in the list. Have a look.

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent e) {
        Player player = (Player) e.getWhoClicked();
        List<Player> players = new ArrayList<Player>();
        for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
        if(p.getName() != player.getName())    {
            new BukkitRunnable() {
                double t = 0;
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    Location location1 = player.getEyeLocation();
                    Location location2 = player.getEyeLocation();
                    Location location3 = player.getEyeLocation();
                    int particles = 15;
                    t = t + Math.PI/6;
                    float radius = 0.6f;
                    for (int i = 0; i < particles; i++) {
                        double angle, x, z;
                        angle = t*4 * Math.PI * i / particles;
                        x = Math.cos(t) * radius;
                        z = Math.sin(t) * radius;
                        //angle = 4 * Math.PI * i / particles;
                        //x = Math.cos(angle) * radius;
                        //z = Math.sin(angle) * radius;
                        location1.add(x, 0.5, z);
                        //location2.add(x, -0.66, z);
                        //location3.add(x, -1.33, z);
                        ParticleEffect.SNOW_SHOVEL.display(location1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1);
                        //ParticleEffect.REDSTONE.display(location2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1);
                        //ParticleEffect.REDSTONE.display(location3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1);
                        location1.subtract(x, 0.5, z);
                        //location2.subtract(x, -0.66, z);
                        //location3.subtract(x, -1.33, z);
                    }
                }
                   
                }.runTaskTimer(plugin, 20, 1);// Replace "me" with your player variable.

        }
        }
        if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("Angel")) {
            if(player.hasPermission("particles.angel")) {
            if (!e.getInventory().getName().equalsIgnoreCase(GUI.getName())) return;
            if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta() == null) return;
                e.setCancelled(true);
                Location loc = player.getLocation();
                players.add(player); 
                e.getWhoClicked().closeInventory();
        } else {
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "No access.");
            e.setCancelled(true);
            return;
        }
        }
        if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("Stop Angel")) {
            if (!e.getInventory().getName().equalsIgnoreCase(GUI.getName())) return;
            if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta() == null) return;
                e.setCancelled(true);
                Location loc = player.getLocation();
                players.remove(player);
                e.getWhoClicked().closeInventory();
        }

Please explain how to set this up correctly.

Bump.
