Changing Item Render Rotation Based on player rotationPitch [UNSOLVED] [1.7.10]

[TheEpicTekkit]

Hello everyone.

 

I would like to know how I can change the rotation angle of my custom rendered item depending on the players rotationPitch (up / down angle) I would kind of like to do what the map does, but I can't find the code that allows the map to do this anywhere. So, my question really is; how do I get the players rotationPitch from the item renderer? there is no EntityPlayer parameter in any of the methods in IItemRenderer, and I can't find a way to get the player that is holding the current item from the ItemStack parameters. If I could do either of these two things, I would be fine from there to achieve the rest.

 

Thanks.

Okay, I figured it out. I simply did the following:

public Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft(); //Get an instance of minecraft

//Then in renderItem method
        //...Irrelevant code here...
        float pitch = this.mc.thePlayer.rotationPitch;
        GL11.glRotatef(rotationPitch, 1, 0, 0);
        //...Then just the rest of the rendering code here

 

Now obviously there is more to this, like GL11.glPush/PopMatrix(); and model.renderAll() (if using obj) and whatever other rotation values there are, but this is the general idea that I had, get an instance of the player from Minecraft.getMinecraft().
