Hi, so I have a ranged mob that is meant to hold a bow, but I can't see the bow.

 

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to add anything to my render file, but here is all related code to the entity file:

 

 

 

 

public class EntityArcher extends EntityMob implements IRangedAttackMob {

 

private static final ItemStack defaultHeldItem = new ItemStack(Items.bow, 1);

 

public EntityArcher(World par1World) {

super(par1World);

    float moveSpeed = 0.3F;

        this.tasks.addTask(7, new EntityAIArrowAttack(this, 0.25F, 15, 10.0F));       

        this.tasks.addTask(1, new EntityAISwimming(this));

        this.tasks.addTask(2, new EntityAIRestrictSun(this));

        this.tasks.addTask(3, new EntityAIFleeSun(this, moveSpeed));

        this.tasks.addTask(5, new EntityAIWander(this, moveSpeed));

        this.tasks.addTask(6, new EntityAIWatchClosest(this, EntityPlayer.class, 8.0F));

        this.tasks.addTask(6, new EntityAILookIdle(this));

        this.targetTasks.addTask(1, new EntityAIHurtByTarget(this, false));

        this.targetTasks.addTask(2, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this, EntityPlayer.class, 0, true));

this.setSize(0.6F, 1.5F);

 

  public boolean isAIEnabled()

    {

        return true;

    }

 

    public ItemStack getHeldItem()

    {

        return defaultHeldItem;

    }

 

 

@Override

public void attackEntityWithRangedAttack(EntityLivingBase var1, float f){

 

        EntityArrow var2 = new EntityArrow(this.worldObj, this, var1, 1.6F, 12.0F);

       

        var2.setDamage(4);

 

        this.playSound("random.bow", 1.0F, 1.0F / (this.getRNG().nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F));

        this.worldObj.spawnEntityInWorld(var2);

    }

 

 

just looking at the source code i found this

 

strange its in an armour method but maybe it can help

 

    /**

    * Makes entity wear random armor based on difficulty

    */

    protected void addRandomArmor()

    {

        super.addRandomArmor();

        this.setCurrentItemOrArmor(0, new ItemStack(Items.bow));

    }

Can't remember the exact code, so this might be off, but you need to put a bow in the hand.

 

get rid of the line:

 

private static final ItemStack defaultHeldItem = new ItemStack(Items.bow, 1);

 

In your constructor Public EntityARcher after the setsize (by the way, looks like you are mising a "}" there), put something like this.  You really will have to check the syntax because I know my memory is off

 

this.setWeaponorEquipment(0, new Itemstack(Item.bow));

        this.setCurrentItemOrArmor(0, new ItemStack(Items.bow));

    }

Unfortunately adding this didn't help, unless was I supposed to add this to the Render file?

this.setWeaponorEquipment(0, new Itemstack(Item.bow));

setWeaponorEquipment doesn't appear to be a valid method.

As i said, i'm going off memory.

 

That is the right command, but you didn't put it where I told you to.

 

put

 

this.setCurrentItemOrArmor(0, new ItemStack(Items.bow));

 

where i mentioned in previous post.

So, it seems to have worked somewhat, as the mob now drops used bows, but I still don't see a visual bow being held.

Did you set up a custom render for your entity?

Did you set up a custom render for your entity?

Yes, the mob shows up fine, animations work and everything.

Hmm, betting you didn't get all the render stuff in your custom mob render.

 

Compare yours to mine.  Mine works and shows the items.  The odd looking font code is so the name of the entity is over their head, but only when you are close to it.

 

Let me know if that helps.

This is my render file, and everything about it renders fine, except the item. Does it need to extend RenderBiped? Because I don't want it to be a biped model.

model = ((modelTyrano)mainModel);

You need to use biped. 

 

You could do all the work to make a non biped show the weapon but honestly if you are asking these question you are not capable enough yet to do it.

I think it's evident I don't know how to do it, that's why I am asking here.

Still can't seem to get it to work, and I don't know how to make the Render extend biped while not being a biped.
