Solved Spawn fake explosion (no damage, no block breaking)

How do i spawn an explosion that you hear, where you see particles but doesn't damage anyone/anything around and causes no knockback?
Just.. Sound and particle.

Try sending an ExplodePacket with empty array records.

This way?

PHP:

$pk = new ExplodePacket();
        $pk->x = $itementity->x;
        $pk->y = $itementity->y;
        $pk->z = $itementity->z;
        $pk->radius = 0;
        $pk->records = [];
        $itementity->getLevel()->addChunkPacket($itementity->x >> 4, $itementity->z >> 4, $pk);


($itementity is an Item Entity xD)

Why not test it?

Seems to do nothing

PHP:

        $pk = new ExplodePacket();
        $pk->x = $itementity->x;
        $pk->y = $itementity->y;
        $pk->z = $itementity->z;
        $pk->radius = 0;
        $pk->records = [];
        $itementity->getLevel()->addChunkPacket($itementity->x >> 4, $itementity->z >> 4, $pk);


PHP:


        $pk = new ExplodePacket();
        $pk->x = $itementity->x;
        $pk->y = $itementity->y;
        $pk->z = $itementity->z;
        $pk->radius = 10;
        $pk->records = [new Vector3($itementity->x, $itementity->y + 0.5, $itementity->z)];
        Server::broadcastPacket($itementity->getLevel()->getChunkPlayers($itementity->x >> 4, $itementity->z >> 4), $pk->setChannel(Network::CHANNEL_BLOCKS));
       

Increase the radius?
Also, channels are now no longer used in PocketMine.

Yea. Radius 0 gets cancelled.
And it works now, thanks

Not cancelled, probably the scale is too small

explodeB() gets cancelled if the value is smaller than 0.1

That's explodeA not explodeB
That's PocketMine internals, not related to how MCPE handles it.

@thebigsmileXD adds the exploding particle + sound

Well, now comes the part where it goes to the performance.

I think packets are faster.
