Iterate Vector Locations

Hi,

I'm a bit stuck. I want to iterate through X vector locations starting from a startlocation.

Example:
Location shootLocation = player.getEyeLocation();
Vector directionVector = shootLocation.getDirection().normalize();

I want to get all the locations within a radius of X from the shootLocation.

PSEUDO:
Location shootLocation = player.getEyeLocation();
Vector directionVector = shootLocation.getDirection().normalize();
for(Location location : directionVector){
// ...
}

Best Regards,

All Locations? Could you be a bit more specific? All Locations would be really a lot...

 

I think a BlockIterator would work well for this (not sure?)

Otherwise, what I do is basically:

1. Calculate distance between the two points
2. Calculate normalized direction vector
3. Start at first point
4. For (i = 0; i < distance; i++) { add direction to location)

I have to admit I've never used a BlockIterator, but only because my plugin code predates it :\ But I think it's made to do exactly what you're doing there- line of sight from an entity.
