Hey everyone,

 

I've checked everywhere, but I can't find a single thing that could be causing my issue. I'm trying to implement a basic 'fireball' using snowball as a basis but I'm not having any luck.

 

The specific problem is that while the projectile fires and impacts, it doesn't render at all.

 

I have added break points into the RenderKBFireball class but they do not fire.

 

My four classes are:

KBFireball - contains the item, it's onItemRightClick event, it's presence in creative mode, icon etc.

KBEntityFireBall - inheriting from EntityThrowable controls the onImpact

RenderKBFireball - the render class, pretty much a direct copy of RenderSnowball

KBClasses - the main mod file containing the definition and the registry etc.

 

A few things worth noting:

In KBFireball, I'm alternating between firing an actual snowball and my Fireball itself. The fact that the snowball shows is telling me this class is fine.

 

I suspect if anything, it has something to do with my registering of items, but I've tried a lot of variations and had no luck.

 

All of this compiles and runs as well, so no code errors.

 

Thanks in advance

KBFireball

 

 

public class KBFireball extends Item {

 

private int i = 0;

 

public KBFireball()

{

super();

setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabCombat);

setUnlocalizedName(Reference.MODID + "_" + "kbfireball");

setTextureName(Reference.MODID + ":" + "kbfireball");

}

 

public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer)

{

if (!par3EntityPlayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode)

{

// Consume Ammo (this will need to be use mana)

--par1ItemStack.stackSize;

}

// Play the shoot sound

par2World.playSoundAtEntity(par3EntityPlayer, "random.bow", 0.5f, 0.4F / (itemRand.nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F));

if (!par2World.isRemote) {

if ((i % 2) > 0) {

par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntitySnowball(par2World, par3EntityPlayer));

i++;

} else {

par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new KBEntityFireball(par2World, par3EntityPlayer));

i++;

}

}

 

 

return par1ItemStack;

}

 

}

 

 

 

KBEntityFireball

 

 

public class KBEntityFireball extends EntityThrowable

{

private float explosionRadius = 0.5f;

 

public KBEntityFireball(World par1World) {

super(par1World);

}

 

public KBEntityFireball(World par1World, EntityLivingBase par2EntityLivingBase)

{

super(par1World, par2EntityLivingBase);

}

public KBEntityFireball(World par1World, double par2, double par3, double par4)

{

super(par1World, par2, par3, par4);

}

 

protected void onImpact(MovingObjectPosition par1MovingObjectPosition)

{

this.worldObj.createExplosion(this, this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, (float)(this.explosionRadius), true);

if (!this.worldObj.isRemote)

{

this.setDead();

}

}

}

 

 

 

RenderKBFireball

 

 

public class RenderKBFireball extends Render

{

//private static ResourceLocation texture = new ResourceLocation(Reference.MODID, "textures/items/kbfireball.png");

private Item localItem;

private int dmgVal;

 

public RenderKBFireball(Item par1Item) {

this(par1Item, 0);

}

 

public RenderKBFireball(Item par1Item, int par2Int) {

localItem = par1Item;

dmgVal = par2Int;

}

 

public void doRender(Entity par1Entity, double par2, double par4, double par6, float par8, float par9)

{

  IIcon iicon = localItem.getIconFromDamage(dmgVal);

  if (iicon != null)

  {  

  GL11.glPushMatrix();

  GL11.glTranslatef((float)par2, (float)par4, (float)par6);

  GL11.glEnable(GL12.GL_RESCALE_NORMAL);

  this.bindEntityTexture(par1Entity);

  Tessellator tessellator = Tessellator.instance;

         

  float f = iicon.getMinU();

  float f1 = iicon.getMaxU();

  float f2 = iicon.getMinV();

  float f3 = iicon.getMaxV();

  float f4 = 1.0F;

  float f5 = 0.5F;

  float f6 = 0.25F;  

  GL11.glRotatef(180.0F - this.renderManager.playerViewY, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);

  GL11.glRotatef(-this.renderManager.playerViewX, 1.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F);

  tessellator.startDrawingQuads();

  tessellator.setNormal(0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);

  tessellator.addVertexWithUV((double)(0.0F - f5), (double)(0.0F - f6), 0.0D, (double)f, (double)f3);

  tessellator.addVertexWithUV((double)(f4 - f5), (double)(0.0F - f6), 0.0D, (double)f1, (double)f3);

  tessellator.addVertexWithUV((double)(f4 - f5), (double)(f4 - f6), 0.0D, (double)f1, (double)f2);

  tessellator.addVertexWithUV((double)(0.0F - f5), (double)(f4 - f6), 0.0D, (double)f, (double)f2);

  tessellator.draw();

  GL11.glDisable(GL12.GL_RESCALE_NORMAL);  

  GL11.glPopMatrix();

  }

}

 

@Override

protected ResourceLocation getEntityTexture(Entity par1Entity)

{

return TextureMap.locationItemsTexture;

}

}

 

 

 

KBClasses

 

 

@Mod(modid = Reference.MODID, version = Reference.VERSION)

public class KBClasses {

 

public static Item fireball;

 

    @EventHandler

    public void preinit(FMLInitializationEvent event)

    {   

    fireball =new KBFireball();

    GameRegistry.registerItem(fireball, "kbfireball");

    RenderKBFireball r = new RenderKBFireball(fireball);

   

    RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(KBEntityFireball.class, r);

   

    }

   

   

 

}

 

 

Where do you register the entity?

@Eternaldoom - that was enough for me to figure it all out. I somehow glossed over the registering of an entity in all the examples I found. I suspect because I was looking for other problems, not chunks that were missing.

 

So thanks heaps.

 

For recordkeeping purposes, here is the added code (added in KBClasses.preInit)

 

 

    EntityRegistry.registerGlobalEntityID(KBEntityFireball.class, "KBFireball", uid);

    EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(KBEntityFireball.class, "KBFireball", uid, this, 80, 10, true);

 

 

 

This topic is now solved but I can't see anything letting me mark it as such.
