Spawn firework

As you all may know fireworks were introduced in Minecraft 1.4.6.
How do you spawn a firework at the location of a player, and how do you add effects to them?

 

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onLevelChange(PlayerLevelChangeEvent event) {               
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
        if (p.hasPermission("firework.level")){
           
            //Spawn the Firework, get the FireworkMeta.
            Firework fw = (Firework) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getLocation(), EntityType.FIREWORK);
            FireworkMeta fwm = fw.getFireworkMeta();
           
            //Our random generator
            Random r = new Random();   
 
            //Get the type
            int rt = r.nextInt(4) + 1;
            Type type = Type.BALL;       
            if (rt == 1) type = Type.BALL;
            if (rt == 2) type = Type.BALL_LARGE;
            if (rt == 3) type = Type.BURST;
            if (rt == 4) type = Type.CREEPER;
            if (rt == 5) type = Type.STAR;
           
            //Get our random colours   
            int r1i = r.nextInt(17) + 1;
            int r2i = r.nextInt(17) + 1;
            Color c1 = getColor(r1i);
            Color c2 = getColor(r2i);
           
            //Create our effect with this
            FireworkEffect effect = FireworkEffect.builder().flicker(r.nextBoolean()).withColor(c1).withFade(c2).with(type).trail(r.nextBoolean()).build();
           
            //Then apply the effect to the meta
            fwm.addEffect(effect);
           
            //Generate some random power and set it
            int rp = r.nextInt(2) + 1;
            fwm.setPower(rp);
           
            //Then apply this to our rocket
            fw.setFireworkMeta(fwm);           
        }           
    }

This is how I create random fireworks. Shouldn't be too hard to understand. Have fun.

 

Note: You have to use the latest Craftbukkit DEV build. (1.4.6-R0.2)

 

What do i need to import at Type?

 

ftbastler
#2565 or higher will do.

teunie75
import org.bukkit.FireworkEffect.Type;

 

rt == 5 never can be reached

But thanks for the Code

Yea, it should be r.nextInt(5) + 1.

 

Code:

            Color c1 = getColor(r1i);
            Color c2 = getColor(r2i);

I get a problem with getColor, i don't find this method, and i don't know where i can import it ...

my import :

Code:

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Color;
import org.bukkit.FireworkEffect;
import org.bukkit.FireworkEffect.Type;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;
import org.bukkit.entity.Firework;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerLevelChangeEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.FireworkMeta;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

 

You can't assign a random int in getColor()? Atleast that's the error I'm getting..

 

Here :

Code:

private Color getColor(int i) {
Color c = null;
if(i==1){
c=Color.AQUA;
}
if(i==2){
c=Color.BLACK;
}
if(i==3){
c=Color.BLUE;
}
if(i==4){
c=Color.FUCHSIA;
}
if(i==5){
c=Color.GRAY;
}
if(i==6){
c=Color.GREEN;
}
if(i==7){
c=Color.LIME;
}
if(i==8){
c=Color.MAROON;
}
if(i==9){
c=Color.NAVY;
}
if(i==10){
c=Color.OLIVE;
}
if(i==11){
c=Color.ORANGE;
}
if(i==12){
c=Color.PURPLE;
}
if(i==13){
c=Color.RED;
}
if(i==14){
c=Color.SILVER;
}
if(i==15){
c=Color.TEAL;
}
if(i==16){
c=Color.WHITE;
}
if(i==17){
c=Color.YELLOW;
}
 
return c;
}

 

teunie75 Can not stress enough on how poor of an example this code has provided. Too difficult. Easier ways to do this in 3 lines or less.

 

Unshakablefaith Why not provide an example of a more efficient code then?

 

Bump. even though this isnt my thread

I want to find the answer to the getColor not working!
