how do i run the loop

[slim plume]

    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
        
        if (!(sender instanceof Player)) return true;
        
        new BukkitRunnable() {

            Player player = (Player) sender;
            Location loc = player.getLocation();
            Vector direction = player.getEyeLocation().getdirection();
            
            int lifeSpan = 20;
            
            @Override
            public void run() {

                loc.add(direction);
                player.spawnParticle(Particle.FLAME, loc, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
                lifeSpan--;
                
                if (lifeSpan == 0 ) this.cancel();
            }
        }.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 5);
        return true;
    }```

woah

didnt think you would send me all the code directly

thanks

still confused as to how i would run the command

[slim plume]

that runs it

.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 5);

[slender meteor]

it runs it for me?

[slim plume]

executes it and repeats the run() method every 4 ticks

[slender meteor]

oh do i do this getCommand("shoot").setExecutor(new SpellCommand());

[slender meteor]

alright

[slender meteor]

in my main

[slim plume]

after 20 loops it cancels itself

[slender meteor]

so the moment I reload it does it

[slim plume]

it would do it whenever you execute whatever command you have registered

[slender meteor]

ok

testing now

woah

thats pretty cool

exactly what i wanted

how would i go about speeding it up

lowering the period?

[slim plume]

change teh 5 to a 4 or less

[slender meteor]

a;right

[slim plume]

as low as 1

[slender meteor]

its coming from my feet for some reason

[slim plume]

where do you want it to come from?

[slender meteor]

oh

wait

i fixed it

[slim plume]

either use EyeLocation

instead of Player.getLocation()

[slender meteor]

yeah thats what i did

[slim plume]

or add 1 to Y

k

[slender meteor]

thanks

[slim plume]

np

[slender meteor]

how would i go about spacing it out more

or making it less spaced out

@slim plume

sorry for ping it just said you left thread

[slim plume]

increase teh vector you add each time

[slender meteor]

what vector

like multiply the direction?

[slim plume]

Vector direction = player.getEyeLocation().getdirection().multiply(1.5);```

[slender meteor]

Vector direction = player.getEyeLocation().getDirection().multiply(#);

oh

yeah that works

how do you do that box thing

to type code

[slim plume]

three back ticks `

[slender meteor]

/w/

ohh

alright

thank you

[slim plume]

you can do three` then java and start a new line

it will syntax color it

[slender meteor]

does that work anywhere or just this server

[slim plume]

all discord

[slender meteor]

oh thats cool

thanks for all the help

should be able to take it from here

[slim plume]

theres other tag, java, xml, yaml
