Particles *directly* above the head

Im making TF2 style unusual armors, and particles work how I want them to, take of the helm, they stop appearing. But! They are really wierd, they're always a few blocks off, I got the Y coordinate perfectly figured out, but X and Z are giving me issues, what would be the XYZ for directly above the player (center of above head)

Left 2 blocks, forward one

Left 2 blocks, forward one block. That's what I need.

-1, 2, -1, is the closest. I just need it left 2 blocks and forward one

Use coords of the player -->

Use coords of the player --> player.posX and player.posZ. (It is possible that your "player" variable has different name like "entityPlayer")

wouldnt that be under or in

wouldnt that be under or in the middle of the player though? Also I think you have to use coordinates. Im using j i k + the respective coordinate

@#4

Can you help me out, I just realized this isnt GML anymore... Sorry, forgot xD.

How would I make Player.posX able to work? MCreator says thats invalid.

Okay, I set x and z to
Sat, 09/24/2016 - 18:03

Okay, I set x and z to nothing, and I just barely need it to go one block left, and like a quarter of one back.

Apparantly the origin for X

Apparantly the origin for X and Z are relative to the player, but they are off a little.

Well, I figured it out
Sat, 09/24/2016 - 18:55

Well, I figured it out

+0.5

+2

+0.5

 

it snaps to the block the player is on, so if you're in between a block it wont follow you untill you move into the next one, not that noticable
