Hello all, I am currently creating a mod that has guns and would like to be able to create a sniper which has a sight. However, I don't know how to do this or start with it. I have created the gun and the buttons to bring up the scope are done. I would like the know how to be able to bring up a gui (like the pumpkin? not sure if this is the best way around it) with the scope textures and also zoom the camera in. How would I do this, I appreciate all help. Thanks

For the overlay, you could use the RenderGameOverlayEvent.Pre event and check for the type.

Servers often use the slowness effect.

You can use it as a sort of zoom.

Use FOVUpdateEvent - you can see my implementation here, which is flexible enough to allow different levels of zoom.

For zoom you can use FOVUpdateEvent or set the value of private variable EntityRenderer.cameraZoom using reflection.

 

Thanks for all the help everyone I have got the zoom working now, but I'm not too sure on the overlay. I got part of it working however it didn't fit the screen correctly and was not the correct scale etc

 

Just fixed it, all working now, thanks for the help
