FloatingTextParticle update

Hi, I was wondering how to update a FloatingTextParticle...My code

PHP:

public function spawnFloats(Level $level, Vector3 $pos, array $texts){
           $float = implode("\n", $texts);
           $float = str_replace("{MAX}", $this->getServer()->getMaxPlayers(), $float);
           $float = str_replace("{ONLINE}", count($this->getServer()->getOnlinePlayers()), $float);
           $float = str_replace("{TPS}", $this->getServer()->getTicksPerSecond(), $float);
           $float = str_replace("{MOTD}", $this->getServer()->getMotd(), $float);
          
           //$players = $this->getServer()->getOnlinePlayers();
           $pp = new FloatingTextParticle($pos, C::AQUA.$float);
           $pp->setText(C::AQUA.$float);
            $level->addParticle($pp);
            return true;
        }

This code works to spawn texts but when updating by using this function it spawns another text instead of editing existing one...Thanks for help

Problem: I need to update the texts of floating particle

 

you use a task ?

 

No event and that's a custom function made by me ...

 

PHP:

public function spawnFloats(Level $level, Vector3 $pos, array $texts){
           $float = implode("\n", $texts);
           $float = str_replace("{MAX}", $this->getServer()->getMaxPlayers(), $float);
           $float = str_replace("{ONLINE}", count($this->getServer()->getOnlinePlayers()), $float);
           $float = str_replace("{TPS}", $this->getServer()->getTicksPerSecond(), $float);
           $float = str_replace("{MOTD}", $this->getServer()->getMotd(), $float);
          
           //$players = $this->getServer()->getOnlinePlayers();
           $pp ?? $pp = new FloatingTextParticle($pos, "", "");
           $pp->setText(C::AQUA.$float);
            $level->addParticle($pp);
            return true;
        }

 

i think it's good

 

Lol

Looks same to me unless add a new $pp variable...

 

i have do that and it's work for me

 

It will simply add another particle instead of updating it (I think). And android Genisys app doesn't spawn multiple floating particles so if you tested there, it's a bad test

 

but it's not work on pocketmine pc :/

 

Exactly what I was saying

 

By using AddPlayerPacket and spawn him invisible you can do it

 

Isn't it "AddEntityPacket"? Show some example so I can understand xD

 

Save the FloatingTextParticle instance, don't create a new one, it will give you one with a new entity id (This is, what you don't want!) and just use $particle->setText() and $particle->setTitle() to edit the text.

 

Well my plugin spawn multiple floats at once and I need to update them all at once also

 

Then save them all. You need them to have the same entity ids when you want to update them. Otherwise you will spawn new entities for the client.
(Which should be your issue, right? New text spawned inside the already existing text.)

 

My question is "HOW" can I save all of them in one variable like array or string or whatever

 

You may have already seen something like:

PHP:

$this->variable = 'example';

I believe you can also read a bit about this here. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, you should be fine by storing it in an array.

 

You are wrong ._. I need to get entity ID Everytime I spawn one ...And I know how to store data...I just want to know how can I get floats entity Id if I use your method

 

I suggest you to save the FloatingTextParticle objects, because to get the entityId value you could be forced to create a new class which extends the FloatingTextParticle class and makes you able to get this value. You cannot get this without doing something similar, because it is a protected variable.

 

OnEnable:

PHP:

$this->particles = [];

Add particle:

PHP:

$particle = new FloatingTextParticle($pos, "", "");
 $particle->setText(C::AQUA.$float);

$this->particles[$player] = $particle;
$level->addParticle($particle, [$player]);

Update it with:

PHP:

$this->particles[$player]->setText("blah");

$level->addParticle($this->particles[$player], [$player]);

Last time this was working on my server
