Solved Particle Beacon

I'm trying to make a line of particles going straight up from a location. I know it's kinda frowned upon to just ask for code, but i have no idea...so can anyone give me an example and explain it? Thanks!

Any code that uses a library/util is fine with me

 

player.playEffect

And just put this in a loop and increment the location y a little bit

 

So i got this in a loop:
p.playEffect(p.getLocation(), Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 0);
How do i "increment the location y a little bit?"

 

getLoacation().add(0,increment,0)

Not really.

@DogeDebugger
Create a new location where you want it to happen:
Location loc = p.getLocation(); //for example

Make the for-loop
for(int y = 0; y < 50; y++) {

Next play the effect at the location loc (inside the loop)
Next increment the location's y:
loc.add(0, 0.25, 0);

 

Doge much, such cool, coincidence much.


Apologies give, had to, chance saw, chance took.

 

That makes a box rather than a line.

Code:

for(int y = 0; y < 50; y++) {
       Location loc = p.getLocation();
       loc.add(0, 0.25, 0);
       p.playEffect(loc, Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 0);  
     }

 

How is

Different from this?

 

Solved

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(final PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        final Player p = event.getPlayer();
        Location loc = p.getLocation();
        for(int y = 0; y < 50; y++) {
            Location pLoc = loc.add(0, y, 0);
            p.playEffect(pLoc, Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 0);     
        }
    }

 

@SuperOriginal
Location variables must be assigned to the location again.

Code:

loc.add(0,1,0);

would not work, but

Code:

loc = loc.add(0,1,0);

would. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

nope – both will function identically but re-assigning is unnecessary.
