Help with directions!

Hi!
I've tried to make a farting plugin and it works but one thing is "wrong".
Here's the code!

Code:

public void onPlayerToggleSneakevent(PlayerToggleSneakEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    World world = player.getWorld();
    world.playEffect(player.getLocation(), Effect.SMOKE, 2);
    }

And you see at the syntax: "world.playEffect(player.getLocation(), Effect.SMOKE, 2);"
I make so the effect is going to SOUTH. But i want to so it makes the Effect is going the opposite side
where the player is facing! Please help me to fix that!
I'm still a NOOB

 

It's not world.playerEffect, it's player.playEffect

 

OlofGrandmaster I would get the "player.getLocation().getYaw()" and divide that in multiple sections, 90 degrees each (or maybe with 45 degrees each) and then associate every section with the corresponding direction value.

 

Can you show it in

Code:

sorry i'm NOOBY D:

 

Here is direction "parser" from the my PlayEffect plugin:

OlofGrandmaster Okay before going to sleep I wrote some code:

Code:java

 private int parseDirection(double yaw, boolean reverse) {
    double absYaw = (yaw < 0) ? (360 + yaw) : yaw;
    int section = (int) (absYaw - ((absYaw + 22.5) % 45.0) + 22.5);
    if(reverse) {
        section = ((section + 180) > 360) ? (section - 180) : (section + 180);
    }
 
    if(section == 0 || section == 360) return 1; //SOUTH
    if(section == 45) return 2; //SOUTHWEST
    if(section == 90) return 5; //WEST
    if(section == 135) return 8; //NORTHWEST
    if(section == 180) return 7; //NORTH
    if(section == 225) return 6; //NORTHEAST
    if(section == 270) return 3; //EAST
    if(section == 315) return 0; //SOUTHEAST;
    return -1;
}

This converts the players yaw into the direction value.
I added the possibility to reverse the resulting value because you want the smoke to go into the other direction.
You could end up with this:

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerToggleSneakevent(PlayerToggleSneakEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    World world = player.getWorld();
    int direction = parseDirection(player.getLocation().getYaw(), true);
    world.playEffect(player.getLocation(), Effect.SMOKE, direction);
}

All of the code is unchecked but it should work anyways

 

THANKS!
It works but I just needed to change reverse to false!
