Prevent entity from spawning in the player

I'm trying to spawn a Fireball on the players location but with an offset so it doesn't explode in me. I've tried the following:

Code:java

Location pLoc = vp.getPlayer().getLocation();
    Location spawnLoc = new Location(vp.getPlayer().getWorld(), pLoc.getX() - (OFFSET * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(pLoc.getYaw()))), pLoc.getY() + vp.getPlayer().getEyeHeight(), pLoc.getZ() - (OFFSET * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(pLoc.getYaw()))));
    spawnLoc.setYaw(pLoc.getYaw());
    spawnLoc.setPitch(pLoc.getPitch());
    vp.getPlayer().getWorld().spawnEntity(spawnLoc, EntityType.FIREBALL);

And before you comment on me having a reference to the player object, I make sure to null it when the player leaves. OFFSET is the offset as float btw.

 

Just add their direction vector to the location so it spawns a bit in front of them.
