Particle Effect (Fire ; Vortex)

Hey guys! You may not know me but that doesn't matter now does it. So I am new to particles (I know other stuff though)

Anyways, I need to create a fire vortex effect shooting out of their hand. So when the player shifts (i have that done) they have this appear where they look at it for 3 seconds.
Also! I need it to rotate around. I already know im using the mob spawner particles

 

You can use a particle library , like particleeffect and you can use effectlib with dragon effect

 

Well, I don't want anyone who uses this move to have to download another plugin

 

You don't have any control over the lifespan of particles. This may help http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tutorial-creating-a-helix-3d-spiral-out-of-particles.314312/ but your going to need to be fairly good at math.

 

Since I want to have it rotate couldn't i just spawn new particles every time it rotates?

 

Blaze590 Yes but you can't remove the old ones.

 

You don't need copy another plugin , particleEffect is a class and you can take the source code because effectlib is open source
