[Need Help]LivingEntitys within radius of a targetedblock

hey guys, i have been developing a class plugin recently. all classes have unique ability's of a wide range from Leap to Lightning Storm.
the Lightning Storm ability gets the block the player has targeted and checks if there are any players within a certain radius. It then strikes them with lightning.

Code:

    for (final Player onlineplayer : main.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
        if(block.getLocation().distance(onlineplayer.getLocation()) <= 5) {
            onlineplayer.getWorld().strikeLightning(onlineplayer.getLocation());
        }
    }

this works very nicely. no problems.

however I do not know how to replicate this with mobs.
any help appreciated

Loop through all entities in the world and check the distance between them and the location.

Code:java

 
World w;
Location hit;
for(LivingEntity e : w.getLivingEntities){
     if(e.getLocation().distance(hit) <= 3){
        //within 3 blocks
    }
}[syntax][/syntax]
