I can use .points_around x,y,z but how to custom points around direction
Im trying to make when player is holding an item, a particle circle appears at player's eye location

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

Here you go!
effect_monitor_world:
debug: true
type: world
events:
after player scrolls their hotbar item:stick:
- define points <player.location.above[1.7].points_around_y[radius=3;points=16]>
- foreach <[points]> as:point:
- playeffect at:<[point]> effect:dragon_breath
Basically we want to iterate through the list that is provided from points_around_y.
As you can see in the example script we just store it in a temporary variable and use a foreach loop to iterate through it.
I found that 1.7 blocks above the player's location is eye height. You might feel the need to lower it slightly.

looks liike this

looks liike this
what im trying to do is make a circle like this and can be move when player look at another direction not just around X and Z
tropic quest
Try the facing vector and do around z
I am not at my computer anymore but that's what I would try
It's probably something like player.facing.forward[x] but I don't have the docs

Doesn't work in every direction though. The "points around" function in and of ...
Then how can i make something similar to points around but can work in every direction

I was gonna write my own function for it that you can call anywhere but I'm struggling to remember all the denizen syntax 😅
I opened another thread on it to ask for help because I'm not actually a helper here, just saw you were looking for help and figured I'd try to help.

No worries, I'll try to figure it out and get back to you with what I find!

I'll be honest, I'm struggling quite a bit here.

after player scrolls their hotbar item:stick:
- define location <player.location.above[1.7].forward[5]>
# input location, amount, radius

# Empty Container

# Calculate Angle Step amount in radians.
- define angle_step_radians <element[2].mul[<util.pi>].div[<[amount]>]>
- repeat <[amount]>:
# Get this element's rotation amount in radians based on the step amount and index of loop.
- define angle_radians <[value].mul[<[angle_step_radians]>]>
# Define the rotation vector's coordinates.
- define x <[angle_radians].cos.mul[<[radius]>]>
- define y <[angle_radians].sin.mul[<[radius]>]>
- define z 0
# Rotate the new point around the original location.
- define direction <[location].normalize>

- define points <[points].include[<[rotated]>]>
- determine <[points]>
I'll post what I have
But maybe you or someone else can take a look because I've been looking at this for a few hours now and I'm pretty sure I need to write my own rotation matrix script to make this work
You might be better off making a feature request.
What I wrote, well, it's not really working at all in its current state so maybe a helper can take a peak for you.
From what I can tell something is getting converted back into world coordinates instead of "local" coordinates.
I end up with a non-rotating messed up partial sphere.

I dont even know what is going on here 💀
tropic quest
Yeah it's a little tricky to figure this problem out. It's more than likely a feature request if I'm being 100% but there is absolutely a way to do it via script.
Best of luck!
tropic quest
The only two relevant functions in the documentation were
rotate_around_x/y/z and
points_around_x/y/z
Points around does not return a "local" result it uses the world coordinate without any rotation info to generate the points which is why it doesn't update the rotation in the first example.
Rotate around rotates a vector by the provided angle which saves you from writing a function however it doesn't use radians which is what's messing me up because the sample code I found online wants to write a rotation matrix function and using radians as inputs
Someone with more denizens scripting experience can definitely fix this up maybe I'll tackle it again if noone tries but I've also noticed my method of doing it manually is very expensive.
