getLocation

Lol sorry for this question but i forgot how can i spawn the entity behind me?????????????
final Villager villager = (Villager) online.getLocation().getWorld().spawnEntity(online.getLocation().subtract(5, 5, 5), EntityType.VILLAGER);

 

ProStriker123 this will spawn him 5 blocks back, five blocks to the righ/left and 5 blocks under the ground...
you need to get the direction of the player and add(0,-5,0);

I've always wondered: why do people add negative numbers rather than subtracting?

 

Assist thats a good questin but for my case there is a good answer as well.
In the past i worked with a big project that involved spawning stuff behind players front of them on them ect. So i used the add method a lot! i found it handy to use add for negative nums other than subtract so i used it ( big mistake) and by then i pretend like subtract doesnt exist
Also as you can see here:
http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/doxygen/d4/dd8/Location_8java_source.html
those two methods are exacly the same when used without a vector object with the only difference that the symbols (- & + ) are different, it is the same method with a slight difference.
Also as i mentioned above, on that huge project i had to use a +5 on x and -5 on y so instead of xalling add and subtract, i used the add method with negative values.
Hope i solved your question.

Well that's a good answer. I know there's no difference to them, I was just wondering why people do it.

 

send me example i cannot understand it its not works for me

 

ProStriker123 hmm, i am not willing to spoonfeed you code...
But the structure is:
1. get players location
2. add what i said in my previus post
3. spawn the vilager there.
