Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES is enormous! Why?

I thought it would be cool to grab that Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES and have it over my admins heads as a crown of fire ... but the effect is enormous and not the size you see in a spawner! Did I do something wrong?

Here's the line in my code calling it;

Code:

aPlayer.getWorld().playEffect(haloLoc, Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 20);

Where 'haloLoc' is the x,y,z right above the players head. I chose smaller numbers for the third parameter but it just seemed to set how long the effect lasted and not its size.

 

Thats what also happens to me... The flame is huge...

playEffect has a forth parameter for radius, maybe give that a try.

 

Nope stays the same...

 

@Chiller

How big are we talking here? Can I get a screenshot, out of curiosity?

 

Yup here you go:

 

@Chiller
Dear god.

 

.playEffect(entity.getLocation(), Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 0);
works just fine here...

 

I tried 0 and didn't show anything...

 

Ditto.

What are the extra parameters supposed to do to the effect, anyway? I've not seen it listed anywhere in the documentation.

 

Wait... This would be awesome.

 

Code:

void org.bukkit.World.playEffect    (Location location, Effect effect, int data, int radius)
Plays an effect to all players within a given radius around a location.

Parameters:
location:    the Location around which players must be to hear the effect
effect:    the Effect
data:    a data bit needed for the RECORD_PLAY, SMOKE, and STEP effects
radius:    the radius around the location

What would?

To have an Admin crown, Reminds me of RuneScape :/

 

Hahahaha

 

Well fuck me, that's awesome!

As it is, just having it be a big miasma cloud works well; combined with vanish my admins are now angry clouds of flame that scare that shit out of players on first sight.

 

Hahahaha!

 

Is there a way to constrain the cloud of flames down to one block? I've tried the alternate call on playeffect and it works down to passing a radius of 3 blocks, then fails to produce anything at 2 or less.
