Particle TextPlugin

I would like a plugin that basically works just like Holographic Displays, but instead of NameTagged Armour stands for a message, I would like the text to be displayed as particles. Example:

I would like for the plugin to be able to display this text forever, so the particles should keep renewing themselves.

Ideas for Commands:
/particletext create {NAME} {PARTICLE} {SIZE IN HEIGHT OF BLOCKS} {MESSAGE} Creates that message on the block that the player is standing on
/particletext remove {NAME}

When I would like this:
ASAP, but no unnecessary hurry.

 

I kinda want this to be made. Sounds like a really cool idea.

 

@MrIggyman1234 Thanks!

Found this:

Looks like what you want.

Nice plugin, but it uses furnaces.
Maybe it's not a problem for @KingIngot, but commands would be really appreciated

EDIT: Maybe LetterAPI and LetterAPI-Commands would work

@KingIngot Actually, I made that plugin just for fun ^.^
And it looks pretty cool, the only problem I am trying to fix is that the text is really "separated".
On your image, the flames touch each other to form the letter, but in my plugin the flames are every one block, so it isn't that nice.

I am still working on it, but you can download my previous version here:

EDIT: Changed host to http://au.wc.lt/plugins/ParticleText.jar

There are five commands:

• /ptxt create <name> [message...]
  • This creates a hello world text in flames, where you are (and facing towards you)
  • Permission: ParticleText.create
• /ptxt edit <name> <text/location/size/particle/font/range>
  • text for the hologram's text
    • Permission: ParticleText.edit.text or ParticleText.edit.*
  • location for where the hologram is (and where it is looking)
    • Permission: ParticleText.edit.location or ParticleText.edit.*
  • size for the size... (the unit is not exactly a block, but about it)
    • Permission: ParticleText.edit.size or ParticleText.edit.*
  • particle for what type of particle the text is made of (e.g. flame ; crit ; crit magic ; fireworks sparks ; etc.)
    • Permission: ParticleText.edit.particle or ParticleText.edit.*
  • font for the font family (e.g. Arial ; Tahoma ; etc.)
    • Permission: ParticleText.edit.font or ParticleText.edit.*
  • range for how far you can see the hologram
    • Permission: ParticleText.edit.range or ParticleText.edit.*
  • Permission: ParticleText.edit
• /ptxt remove <name>
  • Deletes a hologram with the specified name.
  • Permission: ParticleText.remove
• /ptxt fonts
  • Gives you a list of all the fonts you can use.
  • Permission: ParticleText.listfonts
• /ptxt particles
  • Gives you a list of all the particles you can use.
  • Permission: ParticleText.listparticles

A save.yml file is created to store all your texts, it's safer if you don't touch it

EDIT by Timtower: merged posts

EDIT n°2:
Fixed the spacing problem, and it's awesome !
It supports fancy fonts and everything !
To get a list of fonts, type /ptxt fonts (permission: ParticleText.listfonts).
And to get a list of particles type /ptxt particles (permission: ParticleText.listparticles).

 

@au2001 Thanks!

 

@KingIngot Tell me if you want anything changed, or added/removed.

And don't forget to mark this as filled if I helped you

 

Wow this thread is great.

 

does not work for me, every time i try to create a hologram i get an error (attachment).

is this caused by this plugin or by my root?

 

@6P14y3r Yes, I noticed that error and fixed it yesterday. Try updating your plugin...

 

well i downloaded it 10 minutes before i posted that error

edit: yay it's working thanks

 

I've encountered a problem with your plugin. After about 10 minutes of being online (or offline) the texts either remove themselves or move to a different place, making me have to do /ptxt edit location over and over again.

 

@StingBack12 Hmm, that's a strange bug...

I just uploaded a new version of the plugin fixing another bug but that may fix yours
Sometimes the holograms where turning around or wouldn't be in the right direction.
So I remade that part of the code and for now I've never seen it bug.

Try to update your version of the plugin, and tell me if it works :
http://shadowcasted.com/plugins/ParticleText.jar

EDIT: Changed host to http://au.wc.lt/plugins/ParticleText.jar

 

I already made this lol

 

@ZenithB4 Yes, you made it on Spigot as a paid ressource...
Bukkit doesn't support paid plugins, and anyways why would they give $5?

If they post here they are supposed to be helped by a developer (or another member) for free
I personnally code because I like to, not for money, so everything I do is free

(And to the moderator that removed the spigot link, aren't you supposed to write who removed it and the reason? Not to make this as invisible?)

EDIT by moderator: not really.

 

I made it free.
