    I make a plugin with many particle effects en this one needs to be something like a circle around the player what is moving with him.

    Do i need to work with PI or something? I don't like to register every single particle xD

    I use the ParticleEffect Libary from DarkBlade12.
    Can someone help me, i don't know what to do.

    Thanks for help: Tim

    Rotation Matrices would help you a lot, there are plenty of tutorials

    "what is it he needs to rotate with his rotation matrices"
    *proceeds to link a tutorial that hs to do with rotation matrix*

    Watching his videos will help

    Rotation Matrix is rotation something around one point and with that you can get the points of a sphere from a player's location or any location

    Look again at the tutorial link, it does not use rotation matrices. Not once on the whole tutorial is the word "rotation" or "matrix" mentioned. And you do not need to use rotation matrices to do this, it's overkill.

    Is that supposed to prove your point that the tutorial uses rotation matrices? Because, it doesn't. That's just calculating the sine and cosine values for the unit circle..

    Both are nice, I'm already excited to use it.
