Particles where player is looking

Hey, so what's happening is that I have a spiral of particles coming from a player as an effect. The only problem is that I can't figure out how to set the direction to where the player is looking. Here are some pictures.

And here's the code:

Code:

        public void runHelix(Player p) {
            Location loc = p.getEyeLocation();
              
            double radius = 2;

            for (double y = 5; y >= 0; y -= 0.015) {
                radius = y / 3;
                double x = radius * Math.cos(3 * y);
                double z = radius * Math.sin(3 * y);

                double y2 = 5 - y;

                Location loc2 = new Location(loc.getWorld(), loc.getX() + y2, loc.getY() + z, loc.getZ() + x);
                ParticleEffect.FLAME.display(10, 15, 0, 0, 0, loc2, 10);
            }

            for (double y = 5; y >= 0; y -= 0.015) {
                radius = y / 3;
                double x = -(radius * Math.cos(3 * y));
                double z = -(radius * Math.sin(3 * y));

                double y2 = 5 - y;

                Location loc2 = new Location(loc.getWorld(), loc.getX() + y2, loc.getY() + z, loc.getZ() + x);
                ParticleEffect.FLAME.display(10, 15, 0, 0, 0, loc2, 10);
            }

            }

 

I believe that pitch and yaw are the measures of the player's direction that you'll need to use here.

 

Thanks, but how would I use that to then point the particles that way?

 

get target block maybe works? im not sure but just thinking what should work for you..

 

So that would get me the block in front of a player at any direction?
Thanks

 

Yes it is.

 

@Jamez
getTargetBlock() returns the block that the player's pointer is looking at.

 

These messages are quite the opposite of each other. So if I am looking at air, will getTargetBlock() even work?

 

@Jamez
Probably give you null, or air.

 

If there is nothing in the sight, then it returns the latest AIR block it can reach

 

Ok, so I can use that and they yaw to change the direction of the spiral then? Thanks.
