Solved Particle Effects

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to get these particle effects

 

you want playEffect();

playEffect(Location loc, Effect effect, int data)
Plays an effect to just this player.

so you have to do
player.playEffect(player.getLocation(), Effect.SOMETHING, 0);

for data you can simply add 0 (for some effects a other number is useful)
for Effect.SOMETHING you can add the Effect, i think its MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES

 

The particles look like the blockbreak particles for lava

 

Unless you spawn a block at the player and break it immediately?

 

or... packets. Packet # 61 to be exact

 

I don't know how to code with packets

 

Assume a player who you want to send the packet to, Player t:

Code:java

Packet61WorldEvent packet = new Packet61WorldEvent(2001, x, y, z, 11, false);
((CraftPlayer)t).getHandle().netServerHandler.sendPacket(packet);

Replace x, y and z with the location. This will spawn lava break particles at x,y,z. You will need Craftbukkit.jar as a library to build your jar.

This would be done for multiple players by basically doing this for each player :3.
More packets at: http://www.wiki.vg/Protocol

 

How do you know what packet number it is? For future reference

 

CeramicTitan
It is Packet61WorldEvent

 

fireblast709 I think he means if there is a list for all the different packets and what they do.

 

More like on this website: http://www.wiki.vg/Protocol how do you find what the proper packet number is

 

packet numbers are in hexadecimal, so 0x03D = packet 61. Then, you search your packet number here:
https://github.com/Bukkit/mc-dev/tree/master/net/minecraft/server. This gives you the Packet class you need an instance of

 

Actually "Sound or Particle Effect" is 0x3D which is 49.

 

rfrehv explain yourself? Have you any knowledge how to convert hex to dec? 3*16 + 13 = 61 right?

 

Yup I'm pretty sure it is 61, I should've said "which is 49 on the site". Said that b/c I went to http://www.wiki.vg/Protocol and you simply won't find that as 61. I had to actually Ctrl+F effects. Sorry for the "mistake"

 

lol ok

 

i cant seem to find the Packet61WorldEvent class
what am i missing? how do i send the lava break packet?

 

Later it got clear that the Javadocs were lacking some information. use

Code:

world.playEffect(someLocation, Effect.STEP_SOUND, blockID);

 

i dont want the sound, i want the particles

 

I already told you, the javadocs is kind off lacking information there. You should try it out, I was amazed myself that it worked.

 

hehe thx ill give it a try then. thanks for replying to such an old thread.

 

How can you do this with data, for example if I wanted to do red wool. Is there some bit shifting I need to do to make it work?

 

Yeah, I'm wondering that too... The playEffect takes a Material/int, not ItemStack where you can add your own data.

 

this doesn't work for items with metadata. Eg. Red wool, mossy smooth stone brick, etc

 

How are you sending the particles to the player location? Is there some variables I'm missing or am I just not understanding?

 

If you are having difficulties, please open your own thread instead of necroing a thread from a half year ago.
