[SOLVED] Custom animations on Techne models?

Posted May 3, 201411 yr

Hi there,

I've been working on a wind turbine and recently changed the way I was rendering it to a Techne model. I want to make the blades constantly spin on the wind turbine so that it looks significantly better. How would I animate it to constantly rotate? I assume it's a method somewhere. If anybody would be kind enough to help that would be very nice as any tutorials I found were two years old.

If this helps, here is my wind turbine in game:

I have no idea what I'm doing.

My way is next — put moving parts into separate model(s), and then use glRotate() and/or glRotate() when rendering the whole thing. As an example, here's my clock renderer:

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public class TileEntityRendererClockPole extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer{
protected ModelBase base = new ClockPoleBase();
protected ModelBase rim = new ClockPoleRim();
protected ModelBase hour = new ClockPoleHour();
protected ModelBase minute = new ClockPoleMinute();

@Override
public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileentity, double d, double d1, double d2, float f){
	GL11.glPushMatrix();
	GL11.glTranslatef((float)d, (float)d1, (float)d2);
	TileEntityClockPole tile = (TileEntityClockPole)tileentity;
	if(tile != null){
		renderBlock(tile, tile.getWorldObj(), tile.xCoord, tile.yCoord, tile.zCoord, RoWBlocks.clockPole);
	}
	GL11.glPopMatrix();
}

public void renderBlock(TileEntityClockPole tile, World world, int i, int j, int k, Block block){
	Tessellator tessellator = Tessellator.instance;
	float f = block.getMixedBrightnessForBlock(world, i, j, k);
	int l = world.getLightBrightnessForSkyBlocks(i, j, k, 0);
	int l1 = l % 65536;
	int l2 = l / 65536;
	tessellator.setColorOpaque_F(f, f, f);
	OpenGlHelper.setLightmapTextureCoords(OpenGlHelper.lightmapTexUnit, (float)l1, (float)l2);

	if(tile != null){
		Minecraft minecraft = Minecraft.getMinecraft();
		float time = 0;
		if(minecraft.theWorld != null){
			time = (float)minecraft.theWorld.getWorldTime();
		}
		GL11.glPushMatrix();
		GL11.glTranslatef(0.5F, 1.5F, 0.5F);
		if(world.getBlock(i, j - 1, k) instanceof BlockSlab)
			GL11.glTranslatef(0F, -0.5F, 0F);
		GL11.glScalef(-1.0F, -1.0F, 1.0F);
		GL11.glPushMatrix();
		bindTexture(new ResourceLocation("row:textures/clock/pole/base.png"));
		base.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
		bindTexture(new ResourceLocation("row:textures/clock/pole/rim.png"));
		GL11.glTranslatef(0.0F, -2.4375F, 0.0F);
		for(byte u = 0; u <= 3; u++){
			GL11.glRotatef(u * 90F, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);
			rim.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
			GL11.glPushMatrix();
			GL11.glRotatef((time - 6000) / 11999F * 360F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
			hour.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
			GL11.glPopMatrix();
			GL11.glPushMatrix();
			GL11.glRotatef((time - 6000) / 11999F * 12F * 360F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
			minute.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
			GL11.glPopMatrix();
		}
		GL11.glPopMatrix();
		GL11.glPopMatrix();
	}
}

I've got the blade rendering in a seperate model alright, but I'm kinda stuck on the actual rotation part. I've tried to copy what you've done with no success. Here is my rendering class:

package foodTech.tileEntities.render;

	if (metadata > 7)
	{
		GL11.glPushMatrix();
	        
	       GL11.glTranslatef((float) x + 0.5F, (float) y + 1.5F, (float) z + 0.5F);

	       Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.bindTexture(textureWindTurbineTop);

	       //GL11.glRotatef(180F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F); //Commenting this out causes the rendering to float up 1 block

	       this.modelTop.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
	       this.modelTopBlade.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
	        
	       for(int i = 0; i < 360; i++)
	       {
	        	GL11.glRotatef(i, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
	       }
	        
	       GL11.glPopMatrix();
	}
}
}

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Rotating should be done before rendering. Also,

for(int i = 0; i < 360; i++)
{
GL11.glRotatef(i, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
}

makes no sence. And, I think, it's good idea to use minecraft time to define the rotation angle.

Try this:

if (metadata > 7){
GL11.glPushMatrix();
GL11.glTranslatef((float) x + 0.5F, (float) y + 1.5F, (float) z + 0.5F);
this.modelTop.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.bindTexture(textureWindTurbineTop);
float time = 0;
if(minecraft.theWorld != null){
	time = (float)Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld.getWorldTime();
}
float mult = 1F/12000F; //adjust this value to get the desired rotation speed
GL11.glRotatef(time * mult, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
this.modelTopBlade.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
GL11.glPopMatrix();
}

I've been playing around with this code for a little bit, because as you can see in picture below it's not rendering at all correctly. I tried printing out

time * mult

and the number is indeed changing. The rotation does not however change more than once however. I tried changing the multiplier in debug mode which caused the turbine to move once and then stop again. Please help!

It's probably worth noting that the top block of the turbine is rendered entirely wrong (textures are all over the place)

Well, providing the rest of your sources that are concerned with the block so that i can actually run the mod and debug it will be a good idea.

Ok sorry. I'm going to give you the link to the entire mod on dropbox because I'm in the middle of sorting out a lot of things and a huge amount of classes are currently needed for the VERY broken base upon which the windmill must sit. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nzd6s6usysjri56/hhx8kivoWd

To place the turbine you need to assemble a 3*3 area of turbine base blocks and you'll see it turn into a very brokenly rendered multiblock (I'm having troubles with this too). Hopefully you'll find everything you need. A quick pointer: I think the most important class here is tileEntities/render/RenderWindTurbine.

Sorry again about the mess and thanks for the help.

To rotate things properly you should model them so that their axles will go trough (0, 0, 0) point. Your blades are modeled wrong. And the whole code was written very poorly. Also, why are you binding texture after you render the top?

However, i've made it work in some way.

if (metadata > 7)
	{

		Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.bindTexture(textureWindTurbineTop);
		GL11.glPushMatrix();
		GL11.glTranslatef((float) x + 0.5F, (float) y - 0.5F, (float) z + 0.5F);
		this.modelTop.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
		GL11.glPopMatrix();


		float time = 0;
		if(minecraft.theWorld != null)
		{
			time = (float)Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld.getWorldTime();
		}

		float mult = 2F; //adjust this value to get the desired rotation speed
		GL11.glPushMatrix();
		GL11.glTranslatef((float) x + 0.5F, (float) y + 7.0F/16F, (float) z + 0.5F);
		GL11.glRotatef(time * mult, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
		GL11.glTranslatef(0, -15.0F/16F, 0);
		this.modelTopBlade.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
		GL11.glPopMatrix();
	}
}

Still some weird black objects can be seen passing away sometimes.

It works, thanks! Perhaps you'd like to explain how my code was written very poorly so that I can improve in the future and correct my mistakes however?

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Well, as i've said, this part makes no sense

for(int i = 0; i < 360; i++){
GL11.glRotatef(i, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
}

In your RenderGrindstone the numbers of glPushMatrix(); and glPopMatrix(); are not mathcing, that may cause GL troubles. That's what I've seen. Sorry, but I have no time to check all your code.

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )

How to add my mob to another mod's biome in 1.20.1.

You can add mob spawns using Forge's Biome Modifiers feature. I won't go into details on how to use a data generator for them, but here's a simple example:
{ "type": "forge:add_spawns", // Required "biomes": "#namespace:biome_tag", // Accepts a biome id, [list of biome ids], or #namespace:biome_tag "spawners": { "type": "namespace:entity_type", // Type of mob to spawn "weight": 100, // int, spawn weighting "minCount": 1, // int, minimum pack size "maxCount": 4 // int, maximum pack size } }This JSON file would go somewhere like this: data/modid/forge/biome_modifier/your_biome_modifier.json
