Make a TileEntity render with a smaller bounding box?

[Busti]

Hello,

when I render a Block with the TileEntitySpecialRenderer it disappeares when its block bounds are out of my viewport. Can I fix them? I know that the RenderBlocks class has a method to do so but render renderTileEntityAt(); doesn't implement that. How can I fix the block bounds otherwise?

Make the block's bounding box bigger.

Is there another way... (the bounding box must be smaller than the model)

What is your goal, here?  What is the problem you are trying to solve?

the bounding box of the pipe is created when you are looking at the pipe and it is stored in the block globally (There is no way to create individual render bounds) but when you looked at another pipe bounding box it may become smaller than some rendered pipe bounding boxes.

Hi

 

override TileEntity.getRenderBoundingBox to return the full bounding box?

eg as for beacon?

Hello,

 

I had the same problem. Put this in your TileEntity class:

 

@Override
public AxisAlignedBB getRenderBoundingBox()
{
	return AxisAlignedBB.getBoundingBox(xCoord, yCoord, zCoord, xCoord + 1, yCoord + 1, zCoord + 1);
}

 

Hope I helped!

 

BTW: When do you write your ForgeMultipart tutorial?

Thanks that worked.

The FMP Tutorial might take a while because I am waiting for forge 1.7 to come out so I won't have write a new one right after I made the first.

But here is a tip: FMP Parts are not blocks. They are individual types and you don't need a Tileentity or a block. If you want to make parts for a Pipe like I did have a look at the ProjectRed expansion parts. They are recreating pneumatic tubes there. You have to register the Parts you created in your Proxy.
