Damage Help! :)

Hello all amazing people out there!​

I have been working on a plugin in a good amount of time​

but i encountered this really annoying problem.​

It has destroyed my day, lol xD​

I wanted to know if there was a method to check if the player​

is touching the particle effect, or something simillar.​

I appreciate any possible help.​

I havn't typed much in this thread, compared to my other threads.​

The reason for that, is simply because I am lazy.​

I apologize if you somehow get offended by this thread, hehe. ​

By the way, this is not the whole code of course​

Class​

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onWandUse(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        final Player p = event.getPlayer();
        if(event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR || event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
              if(event.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getType() == Material.STICK) {
                  if (!delay.contains(p.getName())) {
                  delay.add(p.getName());
 
                  Location elocation = p.getEyeLocation();
                  BlockIterator blocksToAdd = new BlockIterator(elocation, 0.0D, 15);
                  Location blockToAdd;
 
                  while(blocksToAdd.hasNext()) {
                  blockToAdd = blocksToAdd.next().getLocation();
                  p.getWorld().playEffect(blockToAdd, Effect.SMOKE, 0);
                  p.getWorld().playEffect(blockToAdd, Effect.SMOKE, 0);     
 
                  if ( ! blocksToAdd.hasNext()) {
                      p.getWorld().playEffect(blockToAdd, Effect.POTION_BREAK, 1);
                      p.getWorld().playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.BAT_TAKEOFF, 1, 100);
 
                  } else if (delay.contains(p.getName())) {
                      Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                      delay.remove(p.getName());
                        }
                  }, 20);
                  }
                  }
                  }
              }
        }
    }
}

As far as I know you can't. The best you can do is check if they are at or near the location where the particle effect is being played.

 

How would I do that? An example would be absolutely brilliant!

 

Just loop through all the online players and check their distance to the location to see if they touch it or not.

Code:java

for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
if (p.distance(location) <=3){
//do what you need to do if in this case they are closer then 3 meters to that location
}
}

 

What if it were to be a zombie?

Just get the zombie's location.

 

then you just loop through the living entities doing

Code:java

for (Entity entity : where.getWorld().getEntities()) {
 
}

Then you need to check what kind of entity it is.

Code:java

if (entity.getType() == EntityType.Player || entity.getType() == EntityType.Zombie){
}

Then you just check the distance again doing

Code:java

if (entity.distance(location) <= 3){
}
