Hi,

I try to make a new bow but I watch videos but any video no on 1.7.2.

I trying ItemBow.class use but the texture not working  :'(

I take it that with the textures not working you mean the animation isn't being done?

 

This thread offers a perfect solution:

And if you have trouble with the texture itself, it might solve that as well.

That's because the normal bow animation is a hardcoded one only useable for the vanilla code.

 

In this topic a solution is offered:

And it might just solve your rotation problem, which is probably caused by the animation not working thus rendering a standard item.

[Sonyika]

this.iconArray = par1IconRegister.registerIcon((this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(4)) + "_" + bowPullIconNameArray);

I can't find it in my code

Sorry I am verry beginner

The rotation problem is a simple fix: put "setFull3D();" in your bow's constructor. It's used by swords, bows, and similar things to flag the renderer to rotate the item in your hand, so it looks like you are wielding it rather than simply holding it.

I gave it a quick test since I wanted to see whether this code was still viable in 1.7.10. I hadn't gotten around to fixing a syringe in my own mod so this was an excellent opportunity.

 

This animates the provided textures.

@Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon getIcon(ItemStack stack, int renderPass, EntityPlayer player, ItemStack usingItem, int useRemaining) {
        if (usingItem == null) { return itemIcon; }
        int ticksInUse = stack.getMaxItemUseDuration() - useRemaining;

        if (ticksInUse > 18) {
              return iconArray[2];
        } else if (ticksInUse > 14) {
            return iconArray[1];
        } else if (ticksInUse > 0) {
            return iconArray[0];
        } else {
            return itemIcon;
        }
    }

 

As coolAlias said, set this.setFull3D() in constructor

 

and provide the texture with

public static final String[] SyringePullIconNameArray = new String[] {"pulling_0", "pulling_1", "pulling_2"};
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    private IIcon[] iconArray;

 

and this

 

 @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    @Override
    public void registerIcons(IIconRegister parIconRegister)
    {
        this.itemIcon = parIconRegister.registerIcon(MODID + ":" + "basesyringe");
        this.iconArray = new IIcon[syringePullIconNameArray.length];

        for (int i = 0; i < this.iconArray.length; ++i)
        {
            this.iconArray[i] = parIconRegister.registerIcon(MODID + ":" + "basesyringe" +  "_" + SyringePullIconNameArray[i]);
        }
    }

 

I gave you a lot, which is not my habit unless I see that the person knows java/modding/does effort, but at least I now know where to refer to once there is a similar question asked here.
