Library [1.8] ParticleEffect v1.7

michael566 There's no way to stop a particle effect once played. You can only increase the speed for some types to make them play faster! Every time you call the display method the particle effect will be played once. If you want it to play periodically you'd have to create a scheduler which plays the effect

 

michael566 DarkBladee12

If you are using a scheduler though you can than cancel the scheduler for that specific player.

 

maved145 Do you know how?

 

How can i do a particle fall down?

 

PlayerNerd can you explain further what you mean exactly?

 

DarkBladee12 I´m speaking to do like the Blood Wizard in TNT Wizard of Hypixel, you throw the particle and it fall, like a semicircle.

 

PlayerNerd maybe you can create something like that with Slikey 's EffectLib!

Does the 1.7 version work with CB 1.7.9-R0.2? I can't seem to get it to work under any condition. What I am trying now:

• A timer repeating every tick for 100 ticks
• Speed of 0.2f
• An offset of 0.3f (x, y, and z)
• 10 particles every tick above a player's head

No particles are being displayed; there are no other plugins on the test server and no error log. At time my FPS just sinks so I know that the particles are being sent, but I have no idea why I cannot see them.

Code:java

private void playEffect(final Player player) {
        final Location loc = player.getLocation().add(0.0, 2.5, 0.0);
        final BukkitTask task = Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin,
                new BukkitRunnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        effect.display(loc, 0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f, speed, amount);
                    }
                }, 1l, 1l);
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(task.getTaskId());
            }
        }, 100l);
    }

 

DarkBladee12 I got a question, how would I make it so if a player moved(walked, flew), the particles would stop, and then when the player is still, the particles would start back up again.

 

Jaaakee224
Scheduled task timer (every tick or two ticks), cache player location, compare against player's new location, check if they are same and send particles if they are, check if they are different and don't send particles if they are different..

 

Ummmm the particles are not showing up for other players and appear to be client - side only. Any help?

 

Same problem happened to me... :/ forgot how to fix srry!

 

flabbycatty Maybe you've used the wrong method, there's one with a range parameter which displays the particles for all players in that range and one with a player array argument which only displays the particles for these players!

AoH_Ruthless Can you tell me which effect you tried to display?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

DarkBladee12
I tried several effects. The enum names as follows:

• CLOUD
• HEART
• DRIP_WATER (something like that)
• SMOKE, LARGE_SMOKE
• EXPLODE
• ENCHANTMENT_TABLE
• and a few others.

Furthermore, I know it isn't an issue with the variable 'effect'. I tried replacing it with ParticleEffect.CLOUD.display(...) and still nothing happened. I also knew that the method was getting called because I could hear the sound being played. While I don't think it is an issue with asynchronous threading (that wouldn't be a logical issue), I also tested it without any Runnable timers and the effect was still not being displayed.

 

AoH_Ruthless You're just using the wrong display method! The one you're using has a player varargs at the end and will only display the effect for those players in that array, but you didn't add any players to it so it will be invisible for everyone. Just use the method with the range argument and it should be displayed to all players in this range!

Code:java

effect.display(loc, <range>, 0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f, speed, amount);

 

DarkBladee12
That doesn't make sense. There is no player parameter at all in my code. Looking at the source, if I don't specify a range or a player parameter, it defaults to all players in the source code ... But I will attempt this anyways and edit this post if it works or not.

Edit: Specifying the range to a value such as 16 does nothing; the effect still does not appear

 

AoH_Ruthless Are you sure that you enabled particles on your client?

 

How do you make it so only certain ranks/people get the effects?

 

Use an if permission block.

 

Always getting a PacketInstantiationException, null pointer here, in ParticleEffect class;

Code:java

private static Object instantiatePacket(String name, Location center, float offsetX, float offsetY, float offsetZ, float speed, int amount) {
if (amount < 1)
throw new PacketInstantiationException("Amount cannot be lower than 1");
try {
return packetPlayOutWorldParticles.newInstance(name, (float) center.getX(), (float) center.getY(), (float) center.getZ(), offsetX, offsetY, offsetZ, speed, amount);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new PacketInstantiationException("Packet instantiation failed", e);
}
}

The return line throws a null pointer exception, as the constructor is supposedly null.

My particle display code;

Code:java

ParticleEffect.NOTE.display(pl.getLocation(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 1);

(I'm only playing around with it).

Nevermind the name of the plugin, it was schoolwork. I have to teach the students in my class about semicolons. (Boring much). Anyways, decided to make it a bit more fun - MINECRAFT!

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Good idea ; Semicolons are awesome; just like teaching kids what they do.

 

oasis9 well it seems like you're using Bukkit for version 1.5, so you'd have to use the version which is for 1.6-

 

Is it possible to color the RED_DUST or the INSTANT_SPELL ?
If I color the RED_DUST it is a color-mixed particle-effect.

 

FlxiFlix it's not possible yet to display them in a specific color, but they have a static color when using 0 as speed value!

not working for me sadly

Code:java

ParticleEffect.HEART.display(event.getEnchanter().getLocation(), 0, 0, 0,10, 1000);

im using the one everyone can see within 20 blocks

 

Roelyboely12 try decreasing the speed or add the range parameter after the player parameter! (ParticleEffect.HEART.display(event.getEnchanter().getLocation(), RANGE, 0, 0, 0,10, 1000);)

JordyPwner try updating to a newer build!

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

DarkBladee12 sorry total forgot this! its working now used higher build thx!

 

Hit delete!

 

Hey guys, I just wanted to announce that a small update of this library will follow soon alongside a small plugin which allows you to display all particle effects with commands!
