Library [1.8] ParticleEffect v1.7

Accyrsed
Sure, so here is a basic example off the top of my head.

I assume you would want to do it off an event or command, but here is what I use.

Code:java

        int totaltime = 20 * 30; //30 is the amount of seconds it is to last.
        BukkitScheduler scheduler = Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler(); //Creates a scheduler variable
        final int particle = scheduler.scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                //Play the particle here
            }
        }, 0, 1L); //Replays the particle every tick
        scheduler.scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(particle);
            }
        }, totaltime); //Cancels the replaying particle after totaltime, the int defined above.

 

Hey, it's really cool, thanks!
But as I was playing around with arguments, I noticed one thing. Either I messed something up, or the particles have a REALLY big radius. Is there a way to change it?

This question might've been posted before, I didn't the whole thread. Sorry~ ^^

/NVM, I apparently wasn't playing around enough. I didn't use the float number.

 

Quasindro well the float numbers are the offset values which determine the spread of the particles^^

 

97WaterPolo Thank you so much! I will look into this as soon as I can.

 

An easy way to make the particles not disappear like Hypixel did would be to use a scheduler, and make it repeat every second. That way, the particles will never disappear, since they will keep being created.

Sounds good, run into any problems feel free to let me know.

 

ItsLeoFTW I'm actually trying to get particles to act as animated systems. What I mean is, I want the game to cycle through a selection of particles on every tick, where some particles may be in entirely different locations. What I don't get is how to delete the previous frame's particles, since, to my knowledge, after they are spawned, they take on gravity and require several seconds to despawn. Is there a chance you could link me to a video that contains a visual of Hypixel's particles (not an explanation of them, just a video in which they show up) or let me know which map(s) they are on? Thank you!

97WaterPolo I actually did hit an issue. Placing the scheduled task into a listener class extending JavaPlugin throws an error in the console (although in Eclipse it looks fine), and failing to have the listener extend JavaPlugin marks it as a fatal error in Eclipse, stating that the class is not a plugin. Is there a particular location in which this should be placed? Sorry, I am relatively unfamiliar with delayed tasks; on the other hand, I am used to ActionListener timers. I did attempt to look it up online, but I was unable to succeed (I maybe did not look up the correct thing). Thank you!

No problem, you can NOT have two classes that extends your JavaPlugin. You need to pass a contrcutor to your Listener class, so it would be something like

Code:java

package [YOUR PACKAGE];
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class ActionListeners implements Listener {
 
    public Main plugin;//Main is the name of the class that extends your Java Plugin
    public ActionListener(Main plugin){//ActionListener = This class name, and Main is the name of the class that extends your JavaPlugin
        this.plugin = plugin;
    } 
 
//Then do your code down here
 
}

 

97WaterPolo Oh, okay, thanks! I would have never guessed that; I had assumed that a delayed task worked like a timed ActionListener. (Though, both make use of ActionListener.)

 

DarkBladee12
Do you have a version that works with 1.6.4?

 

BungeeTheCookie I just made a gist for the 1.6 version here!

 

DarkBladee12
May god bless you.

 

DarkBladee12
I was just wondering if the ReflectionUtil class for 1.7 was compatible with ParticleEffect 1.6. Otherwise, could you upload the ReflectionUtil/Handler Class aswell? Thanks!

 

BungeeTheCookie Yes it is, because it doesn't contain anything version specific except the packet type class which is not used in the 1.6 version

 

Thank Chu!!!

What's wrong with this code?

Code:java

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
    if(label.equalsIgnoreCase("djyee")) {
        Player player = (Player) sender;
ParticleEffect.RED_DUST.display(player.getLocation(), 1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F, 50);
 

 

djyee
You might be missing some brackets, but i doubt that is it. Is your download on this resource up to date? What is line 48 of your djyee class? That seems to be throwing the error.

 

DarkBladee12 , just wondering why this doesn't work?

I've imported the big lot of code on the first page and I have this:

Code:java

ParticleEffect.ANGRY_VILLAGER.play(p.getLocation(), 0, 0, 0, 1, 1);
 

And each time I call this code it sends this to my console:

Code:

[21:55:05 WARN]: [ParticleEffect] Failed to create a particle packet!

 

DatCookiez
Is there an error? I am not sure but aren't the first3 numbers floats, so shouldn't it have the "0F" instead of just 0?

 

DatCookiez Did you copy the right ParticleEffect version? As you may have noticed there's a version for Minecraft 1.7 and higher and one for 1.6 and lower! The code you've posted looks right as far as I can see.

97WaterPolo There's no error, only this note since the class catches Exceptions and doesn't print them. It doesn't make a difference if you write 0F or just 0 here

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Thanks, this is very helpful. I wish bukkit had this automatically.

 

akabarblake yeah this would be cool! Someone actually made a pull request on GitHub for that here, I hope it gets accepted soon

 

Nice,

Question, any reason to limit the particles like explosion to 16 ? cause they can be displayed more far away !

 

DarkBladee12
Oh yes, that would be good.
Hopefully it will add a little more 'Support'
as this:

Code:java

particleEffect.CLOUD(color, XFloat, YFloat, ZFloat, speed, amount, Lifespan, Loc, world);

I think having the player in the () is helpful for player.getLocation so you could add + 3 Y !
- I know i know, it has XYZ floats, but It seems to go down. If YFloat = 3 it would start as 3 and go into the ground in 2-1 secs. I may report this, In fact, I will!
EDIT: I didn't know you were the coder. I just reported it to you in that message

 

It's a Minecraft limit, not plugin limit

 

I know about the client limit, but for explosions it's a library limit, this particles can be sent more far away, try to change the limit to 100 and you will see, I've modified this limit for my lib (only for explosions) and that work fine.

That's why I ask if there some other particles that could be saw from more then 16 .

 

I know, I posted it already. Fireworks and Explosions particles (apparently) are the only one that works for more than 16 blocks

 

Likaos LCastr0 Hmm I may remove the limit though since not only these particle types can be displayed with a higher range! So you can use whatever range you want

 

I tried changing the range, but for most of the particles, it didn't change too much, though...

 

How can I get white clouds? Like when you kill the mobs. In the class it sais that is LARGE_SMOKE but it displays black clouds.
Thx
