Spawn particles between entities.

Hello.

I have done many researches before posting this, but couldn't find a solution.

I'm trying to spawn a line of particles between 2 (or more) entities. I just can not figure it out.

That's what I currently have.

Code:

    public void activateHealing(Location loc, Player p) {
        new BukkitRunnable() {
            double t = 0.017;
            double r = 3;
            double e = 0;
            public void run() {
                e++;
                Location loc = p.getLocation();
                for(Entity allies : loc.getWorld().getNearbyEntities(loc, 7,7,7)){
                double distance = loc.distanceSquared(allies.getLocation());
}
                    if(e == 100){
                        this.cancel();
                    }
            }
        }.runTaskTimer(this, 0, 0);
    }

I've know that you can spawn an arrow and spawn particles behind it. However, I prefer using it without arrows or any other projectile.

 

Quick question. . .
Do you want it to spawn all the particles instantly or have a more smoother trail effect.
How smooth is the effect: Spaces or a full nice think ish line?

 

@Lightspeed Spawning smoothly and having a nice curve (I believe I can do the curve myself if I got it working). That's what I have in mind

 

@q8minecraft

1. Get the change in X over the change in Z.(Lets call this cX)
2. Find in which direction the entity is relative to the other entity.
3. Create a for loop. This will control the spacing between each entity. (lets call this int, I)
   
4. Spawn a new particle at X = cX *I, and Z = 1*I.

 

Why does the 1 exactly refer to?

 

@q8minecraft
1 represents the change in Z. Really, you could remove the 1 if you wanted, it just is there to show that for every time Z increases by 1, the X increases by cX.

 

@Zombie_Striker alright, gonna give it a shot. Thanks!
