Hello, I have recently created a mob and now I want it to hold an item, e.g sword. I have looked on the internet and in the PigZombie class. I have found this and added it to my code but it doesn't seem to be working:

 

protected void addRandomArmor()

    {

        super.addRandomArmor();

        this.setCurrentItemOrArmor(0, new ItemStack(Item.swordgold));

 

I then found this:

 

private static final ItemStack defaultHeldItem;

   

    public ItemStack getHeldItem()

    {

    return defaultHeldItem;

    }

    static

    {

    defaultHeldItem=new ItemStack(Item.swordGold, 1);

    }

 

This also doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

they do hold it but it doesn't appear ,becuase you didn't set the arms /body (i guess)

 

sorry for crappy english

How would I do that? In the render class? Thanks

I just looked in the RenderBiped class and found this:

 

protected void func_130005_c(EntityLiving par1EntityLiving, float par2)

    {

        float f1 = 1.0F;

        GL11.glColor3f(f1, f1, f1);

        super.renderEquippedItems(par1EntityLiving, par2);

        ItemStack itemstack = par1EntityLiving.getHeldItem();

        ItemStack itemstack1 = par1EntityLiving.func_130225_q(3);

        float f2;

 

        if (itemstack1 != null)

        {

            GL11.glPushMatrix();

            this.modelBipedMain.bipedHead.postRender(0.0625F);

 

            IItemRenderer customRenderer = MinecraftForgeClient.getItemRenderer(itemstack1, EQUIPPED);

            boolean is3D = (customRenderer != null && customRenderer.shouldUseRenderHelper(EQUIPPED, itemstack1, BLOCK_3D));

 

            if (itemstack1.getItem() instanceof ItemBlock)

            {

                if (is3D || RenderBlocks.renderItemIn3d(Block.blocksList[itemstack1.itemID].getRenderType()))

                {

                    f2 = 0.625F;

                    GL11.glTranslatef(0.0F, -0.25F, 0.0F);

                    GL11.glRotatef(90.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);

                    GL11.glScalef(f2, -f2, -f2);

                }

 

                this.renderManager.itemRenderer.renderItem(par1EntityLiving, itemstack1, 0);

            }

            else if (itemstack1.getItem().itemID == Item.skull.itemID)

            {

                f2 = 1.0625F;

                GL11.glScalef(f2, -f2, -f2);

                String s = "";

                {

                }

    }

 

Does this have anything to do with it? And if so, how would I use it to render the item?

Anyone??? Sorry I am quite new to modding and cannot figure this out.

This is what I use for my custom-mob that doesn't extend EntitySkeleton lel:

 

//pre-class stuff

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

//entity stuff

@Override
public ItemStack getHeldItem() {
     return defaultHeldItem;
}

Very similiar, although, I don't use the static.

Hi, thanks for reply. I just tried that out in my enitymob class but its still not showing up. Do you have anything special in your render class related to this? I'm not sure why it isn't working for me, thanks.

I have finally got it working and thanks to everyone who helped. I just made my model extend ModelBiped and then copied & edited the code from the RenderSkeleton class, if people were wondering.
