addParticle

Well, you need to handle the direction in which the player is looking

 

Take a look at this, it might help you understand how coordinates work (in minecraft): http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Coordinates

 

wtf?
if the player is looking north his right side is a different direction, so you can't just assume it's x +1

 

You need to take into account that a player can turn around. This code only uses the position of a player, you need to use some trig to get a position that will always be right of the player.

 

I think something like this could do:

PHP:

public function spawnParticleAtRightSide(Player $player) {
  $radius = 2; // Set radius to 2
  $x = sin(deg2rad($player->yaw + 90) * $radius) + $player->x; // Get yaw in degrees and add a quarter of 360 degrees to it and turn them to radians in order to use sin on it, multiply it with the radius and add it to the player X.
  $z = cos(deg2rad($player->yaw + 90) * $radius) + $player->z; // Same counts for $z, but use cos here instead
  $player->getLevel()->addParticle(new FlameParticle(new Vector3($x, $player->y + 1, $z))); // Add the particle on that location.
}


I haven't actually tried this code, but I think it works. Feel free to tell me if it doesn't.

 

Yeah I didn't think about this... I will come up with something new.

 

Change 90 to 180.

 

Use the direction vector.

 

There is nothing which will turn it into the right side, this is exactly what I posted....

 

It is already 180. But the particles are only 1 block from the player in the direction he looks

 

The long post in this thread by @SOFe might help you understand what you need to do in order to achieve what you want.

 

What if I told you that my code works?


Code:

PHP:

$p = $event->getPlayer();


$yaw = $p->yaw;
$right = $yaw + 180;
$x = cos($right * M_PI / 180) * 2 + $p->x;
$z = sin($right * M_PI / 180) * 2 + $p->z;

$p->getLevel()->addParticle(new FlameParticle(new Vector3($x, $p->y, $z)));


* 2 is for your requested range of 2.

 

Yeah I tested yours (and mine) and they do work. I think you used it wrong in your code.

 

That works! Is it possible to add particles from y+1 to y+5? Without adding every particle

 

I don't know if this is the best way. But this could work:

PHP:

$arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
foreach ($arr as $nr) {
$level->addParticle(new FlameParticle(new Vector3($x, $y+$nr, $z)));
}

 

You can use a for loop.

PHP:

for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) {
  $level->addParticle (new FlameParticle(new Vector3($x, $y + $i, $z)));
}
