Hello Modder Community! I am currently learning how to create custom mobs and have the following problem:

 

Update: The spawnegg works, only the spawning on rightclick not!

 

What should happen:

On rightclicking with a custom item in the player's hand a new custom mob should spawn at the players location.

I have 3 console outputs to track the process:

1) Registering rightclick with custom item -> works and prints ("spawning Worm")

2) Creating a custom EntityWorm -> works and prints ("Creating Worm entity")

3) Rendering the Entity -> not called somehow, nothing printed in console, nothing spawning

 

Console output after two rightclicks with ItemWormEgg:

 

Problem:

The rightclick is registered, the Entity is created, but the model is not rendered = nothing visual spawns.

The RenderWorm.class should print "Rendering Worm" in console after "Creating Worm Entity", but seems to be never called??

 

The RenderWorm.class is registered in the RenderingHandler during the main load() of Testmod.class: ClientProxy.init(

You guys are my last hope, why is nothing spawning? 

 

Additional Info:

The code compiles without any errors, starting the client, joining the world and rightclicking gives you errors, too, but nothing spawns.

Forge Version: [1.6.4] latest recommended, Windows 7 64bit + Eclipse

Place a print in initRenders() to check if it is called ?

Hello,

 

I've got a working render class for 1.6.4!

 

I hope this works for you:

 

 

public class ElectricerRenderer extends Render
{		
ElectricerModel model;

public ElectricerRenderer()
{
	shadowSize = 0.3F;

	model = new ElectricerModel();
}

public void RenderElectricer(ElectricerEntity entity, double par2, double par4, double par6, float par8, float par9) 
{
	GL11.glPushMatrix();

        GL11.glTranslatef((float)par2, (float)par4 + 1.5F, (float)par6);
        GL11.glRotatef(180 - par8, 0, 1, 0);
        GL11.glScalef(-1, -1, 1);    
       
        bindEntityTexture(entity);
        
        model.render(entity, 0, 0, -0.1F, 0, 0, 0.0625F);
        
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
}

@Override
public void doRender(Entity par1Entity, double par2, double par4, double par6, float par8, float par9)
{
	RenderElectricer((ElectricerEntity)par1Entity, par2, par4, par6, par8, par9);
}

@Override
protected ResourceLocation getEntityTexture(Entity entity) 
{
	return new ResourceLocation("brickcraft", "/textures/models/electricer/ElectricerModel.png");
}

 

 

You might want to adjust glTranslate a little bit, if the entity is stuck in the floor.

 

Tell me if it works!

Wait, what is that "mod" variable ?

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(EntityWorm.class, NpcInfo.WORM_NAME, NpcInfo.WORM_ID, mod, 80, 1, true);

It should be "this".

 

@ss7

He doesn't need that. He is using RenderLiving already.

@GotoLink:

mod was a constant, i replaced the codeMobEntity:

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(EntityWorm.class, NpcInfo.WORM_NAME, NpcInfo.WORM_ID, mod, 80, 1, true);

 

with globalEntityID (to get a spawner egg in creative tab) :

EntityRegistry.registerGlobalEntityID(EntityWorm.class, "Worm", EntityRegistry.findGlobalUniqueEntityId(), 8207116, 11760454);

 

Now i get a spawner Egg registered and a global Entity id.

When using the new custom spawner egg ingame the mob spawns and renders fine.

When using my custom item it does not, which means there must be a problem with the rightclicking of the ItemWand item in the ItemWand.class.

 

The thing is: the console prints the rightclick is registered, it prints the EntityWorm is created, but it does not print that the renderWorm.class is used.

 

ItemWand.class

//RIGHTCLICK
@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack item, World world, EntityPlayer player)
{
	if(!world.isRemote)
	{
		EntityWorm worm = new EntityWorm(world);

		int x = player.serverPosX;
		int y = player.serverPosY;
		int z = player.serverPosZ;

		worm.posX = x;
		worm.posY = y;
		worm.posZ = z;

		world.spawnEntityInWorld((EntityWorm)worm);

		System.out.println("spawning Worm");

		return item;
	}

	return item;
}

Check the position values of your Entity.

 

And i'd like to see where "mod" is declared. It is supposed to be your Testmod instance.

mod is no longer used, read the code above for the updated EntityRegistry
