Library [1.8] ParticleEffect v1.7

How would i remove a particle effect?

 

someguyonthestreet A particle effect is only temporary so it will disappear after a certain time!

Well this is my code and i want to remove the particle using a command but i dont know how.

Code:

Code:java

if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("water")) {
                        Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
                            public void run() {
                                for (Player player : Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
                                    ParticleEffect.DRIP_WATER.display(player.getLocation().add(0, 2, 0), 15, 0, 0, 0, 10, 10);
                                }
                            }
                        }, 0, 20);
                    }

 

someguyonthestreet Well just put the id of the task (Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(...) returns the id as an Integer)
along with the name of the player that issued the command in a HashMap and use Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().cancelTask(ID) to cancel the task and remove the player's name from the HashMap again!

Not working...

Code:java

if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("happy")) {
 
                        Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
                            public void run() {
 
                                for (Player player : Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
 
                                    ParticleEffect.HEART.display(player.getLocation().add(0, 2, 0), 15, 0, 0, 0, 10, 10);
                                }
                            }
                        }, 0, 20);
 
                        if (!happy.contains(player.getName())) {
                            Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().cancelAllTasks();
                        }
                    }

 

He didn't mean that
In your first scheduler, do something like

Code:java

int s = -1;
s = Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().schedule[...]

Then, when the player runs the command, you stop the runnable

Code:java

Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().cancelTask(s);

(s being the int that you changed up there)

 

The new version of ParticleEffect is now finished, the gists on GitHub have been updated. You dont need different ParticleEffect classes for older versions of Bukkit now! The structure of it has changed a bit and the documentation has been improved. (ReflectionUtils is now documented too) I've also made a small plugin which allows you to display all kinds of particle effects ingame with commands. (However it is currently awaiting approval on DBO)

 

DarkBladee12 I am, but it isn't working. I don't get any errors, but I can't see any particles. I've created a particle halo plugin for 1.7 using the snippet for 1.7, but the 1.6- doesn't work. I'll try again to make sure, but it simply isn't working.

 

oasis9 try out the new version of the ParticleEffect and the ReflectionUtils class!

 

Hey guys, I just started to use this library and I was wondering how I could have only the player who executed the command get the effect. Because when I run a command with ParticleEffect, every online is getting the effect.

I need help, the code is fine, just need to know how to do it. '

Thanks
This is an example of one of the effects:

Code:

        String PE = args[0];
        if(PE.equalsIgnoreCase("Hearts")){
        Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
                public void run(){
                    for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
                        ParticleEffect.HEART.display(0, 0, 0, 10, 10, player.getLocation().add(0, 2, 0), 15);
       
                    }
                }
            }, 0, 5);
        }

 

videogame_mom you're currently using the method with the range parameter (last parameter of the method) which sends the particle effects to all players in the specified range. If you want to send the particle effect to specific players you need to replace the range with a List<Player> which contains the players that should receive the particle effect.

 

DarkBladee12 Waahooo! It works! Thanks for doing this, could never have done it on my own!

 

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent e) {
if (!e.getInventory().getName().equalsIgnoreCase(inv.getName())) return;
if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta() == null) return;
if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("Hogwarts")) {
e.getWhoClicked().getWorld().playSound(e.getWhoClicked().getLocation(), Sound.FIREWORK_BLAST, 1, 1); // Sound effect where the player apparates away
e.setCancelled(true);
e.getWhoClicked().closeInventory();
World w = e.getWhoClicked().getWorld();
float ya = 180;
float pi = 0;
Player player = (Player) e.getWhoClicked();
Location loc = new Location(w, 233.5, 48, 359, ya, pi);
System.out.println(loc.getYaw() + " " + loc.getPitch());
e.getWhoClicked().teleport(new Location(w, 233.5, 48, 359, ya, pi));
ParticleEffect.ANGRY_VILLAGER.display(0, 0, 0, 1, 10, player.getLocation().add(0, 2, 0), 16) ;
e.getWhoClicked().getWorld().playSound(e.getWhoClicked().getLocation(), Sound.FIREWORK_BLAST, 1, 1); // Sound effect where the player apparates to
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "You apparated to" + ChatColor.GOLD + " Hogwarts" + ChatColor.GREEN + "!");
}

Does this mean
That when a player teleports, the effect will appear at that spot, and only at that spot, but everybody will be able to see it?

Code:

 ParticleEffect.EXPLODE.display(0, 0, 0, 1, 25, player.getLocation().add(0, 1, 0), 2); 

Instead of keeping them where I spawned them, the particles fly about 5-10 blocks into each side on a ridiculous speed. What am I doing wrong?

DeCraftingKingHRPG try using a lower speed value like 0.1!

DeCraftingKingHRPG yes it will appear at the spot where the player teleported to and is shown to all players in a radius of 16 blocks!

Thank you!

I have a plugin that displays the Angry Effects higher than they should, where would I look?

 

Jaaakee224 decrease the offsetY value or set it to 0.

 

DarkBladee12 Check the code I PM'd you. What would I do?

 

DarkBladee12 Is there a way to change the particle color, I really need that
e.g. blue or red FIREWORKS_SPARK

 

au2001 that's not possible with the API atm :/

 

DarkBladee12 I saw custom colored swirly effects on a couple servers how is that done?

 

DarkBladee12 Please add that
Btw, I love your API it saved my life

CatzFuriousSpeed If you're talking about bubble, that's easy but else, I don't have any idea how to make this, I hope DarkBladee12 knows how and will implement it

 

CatzFuriousSpeed if they had all the same color it was probably done with the playEffect(...) method.

 

It is possible to define a specific vector direction of a particle using the offset values as the x/y/z part of a vector. However, you need to set the particle count to zero. I explain it more in detail in this post: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tutorial-custom-particle-direction.320823/

 

RingOfStorms thanks for notifying me about this possibility, i'll add methods for it to the library soon!

 

This library doesn't seem to work for me. No errors, but particles just don't display...Is it updated?

 

StaticJava
Same for me, it's weird.

DarkBladee12
Look at the PM I sent you.

 

I fixed this by enabling Particles in my video options...

 

StaticJava
Haha, can you share some of your code? I want to see what is wrong with my code. I might be displaying it wrong with the new version. I'm not sure if it's the server, client, or the plugin.
