Cricle player with Particles

So im using the ParticleEffect library, and i know how to surround the player in particles when it comes to using doubles, but this library uses floats so how do i create a circle now?

This is how i do it with doubles

Code:java

for (double x = 0; x <= (Math.PI * 2); x += 0.2) {
                    ParticleEffect.HAPPY_VILLAGER.display(player.getLocation(), Math.cos(x), 1, Math.sin(x), 1, 1);     
                }

 

Im not sure you underatand what floats and doubles are...

What is this has I do not know? Niether do I know what your asking.

 

Float is another Java data type; just replace 'double' with 'float' and you should be fine.

 

Thats the thing, i'm not. I've seen this formula used with a library that uses doubles, and it works fine, but when used with this library, it doesnt, even when i cast the doubles as floats, and when i try to change the method from floats to doubles it just screws everything up

I can see your using the ParticleEffectAPI from the bukkit resources section so I imagine the method would be more like

Code:java

for (int x = 0; x < 3; x + 0){
ParticleEffect.HAPPY_VILLAGER.display(player.getLocation, 0, 0, 0, 0.5, 1);
continue;
}

I don't know why you would even do what you were thinking but this should work if you import the library correctly.
This will play the effect 3 times when the for loop is called.

Thats not making it into a circle.... Thats just playing the effect

 

Ape101
o I thought your error was trying to make it play the effect, well I don't know how to make it a circle. (Trial and Error maybe)

 

You can cast double to float.

Code:java

double valuedouble = 1.0;
float valuefloat = (float)valuedouble;

 

Heirteir There's really no point in ending a loop with continue. It was going to do that anyway.
Ape101 What goes wrong when you change the word double to float?

AsamQpzm I know that.

 

Heirteir Then don't do it?

 

AdamQpzm
I just look to put continue as it's easier to find the loops if you have a lot of code.

 

It want's to change the actual Particle library itself, cant remember exactly but i think it was inside the send packet method, it changed a player into a list of integers

 

I stand by what I said earlier..

 

Please do not just copy&paste! Learn from this..

Code:java

        // Where do you want to show the cirlce?
        Location location = player.getEyeLocation();
        // How many particles should have the circle?
        int particles = 20;
        // What's the radius?
        float radius = 3;
        // Iterate over each particle
        for (int i = 0; i < particles; i++) {
            double angle, x, z;
            // Angle for particle 5:
            // 360° * 5 / 20 = 360° * 1/4 = 90°
            angle = 2 * Math.PI * i / particles;
            // Create circle with radius of 1
            // Cosinus and sinus reach 1 and -1 on peaks.
            // Multiply with radius to apply it.
            x = Math.cos(angle) * radius;
            z = Math.sin(angle) * radius;
            // Apply coords to the location
            location.add(x, 0, z);
            ParticleEffect.FLAME.display(location, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1);
            // Remove the circle coords again.
            location.subtract(x, 0, z);
        }

 

Works this code?

 

BloodBacker Yeah, ofc^^

 

Flames would not work as an circle..
