Changing player arm rendering (in first person) [1.7.2]

[Alesimula]

simple question: what is the class (maybe the event) that regulates the rendering of the player's arm in first person?

EntityRenderer.renderHand

 

See

OK but what event calls it? because i want to change the custom player model and texture (Already did) but i do it in RenderPlayerEvent and so it is called only in 3rd person, and also i would like to change player hand model...

Hi

 

There is no event called just before it, as far as I can tell, it's not done the same way as 3rd person.

 

To be honest I don't know what the best way to do that is.  Perhaps overwrite the hand model; or alternatively perhaps there is some way to extend RenderPlayer with your own class and overwrite the player's entry in entityRenderMap.

 

With any luck someone else on the forum may have tried it before...

Yes, it is there in 1.7.2. What I like to do to find classes is type the name of the class (in this case, RenderHandEvent), and then click on it to highlight it. Now, press F13. BAM. Takes you right to the class so that you don't have to waste time looking for it. The RenderHandEvent is located in: package net.minecraftforge.client.event. Learn to use the power of your IDE!

Or just use Ctrl-Shift-T (eclipse) resp. Ctrl-N Ctrl-N (yes, two times; Intellij)

 

Ah, yes, of course, I forgot about IDEA users. I've always changed the keyboard shortcuts to Eclipse in IntelliJ because I think they're weird.
