Looking to add my own custom textured particles to the game. Others have had success, but I can't quite get it.

 

Here's what i've got:

 

My effect that extends EntityFX

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Adding the effect itself to the game when it is tried to spawn:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Any insight would be awesome, thanks.

 

Also, this is where i followed someone's solution:

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1213462-adding-custom-texture-to-custom-particle-effect/

 

EDIT: Just as a note, they're rendering as white boxes in game. I know the texture is in the right place, already debugged that.

You shouldn't use world.spawnEntityInWorld for particles. Just use Alptraum.mc.effectRenderer.addEffect

This thread makes me sad because people just post copy-paste-ready code when it's obvious that the OP has little to no programming experience. This is not how learning works.

That will spawn them in the world as well?

Works for me, but only on the client in some cases. If I apply some code for the server, the game crashes. Dunno why :/ I have to figure out how to spawn the particles on a server.

Sorry, just clarifying. Once again, the effectRenderer.addEffect will also spawn the particle at the same time?

 

Yup, it's how the vanilla code works.

You're right, that works! Thanks. The only issue is now that I can't see it at all. I know its spawning and I know it's near me, just can't see it. I also know that it is finding the texture because it's overriding the other particles in the game (I know how to stop that, I was just making sure it was successfully finding my particle sprite sheet).

 

Here's my particle's class. Sorry for the persistent problem guys :P

How do you spawn the particles exactly or better saying what triggers the spawn of particles? Do you have this issue on the Client or do you test on a server?
