Hello again everyone

 

As the title says, I was wandering how you would give a piece of armour a custom model.

 

I already have the armour piece, and it can be equipped/is working fine, and I have a Techne model that I have imported into eclipse and fixed up, but where do I go from there?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks, but could you please explain this further?

Do I put the method in the armour class, or under the item itself in my items class (that has all the items for my mod)?

 

Also, where do I translate it and set the texture?

 

P.S. If you could supply some example code, it would definitely help

 

Thanks,

I did, to make my backpack wearable..

 

	@Override
public ModelBiped getArmorModel(EntityLivingBase entityLiving, ItemStack itemStack, int armorSlot) {
	return yourmodel;
}

 

 

How do I reference my model?

 

When I try and return it, it comes back saying that it can't be resolved to a variable even after I imported it.

 

Any suggestions?

Is it public static?

No, should it be?

 

EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were referring to the method. Yes, my Model class is public, but not static:

 

public ModelRCPChest()
  {
    textureWidth = 64;
    textureHeight = 32;

 

 

Yes, there needs to be a static instance to reference it from another class.

 

But also, the method returns modelBiped, so it looks like you need to create one and set the properties to the correct parts based on the armor slot. I'm just guessing on that though.

I can't make the model class static, but I am also unsure as to what you mean when you say 'bipedHeadwear'

 

Is this another method I have to create, or something I have to reference?

 

Thanks

Never mind about the static, I thought you were trying to reference an instance of the model.

 

I was just assuming the TechneModel was not a ModelBiped, and you would have to set the properties manually. Are you doing "return new ModelRCPChest();"

As a result of the getArmorModel method? I am now.

 

Tested that out in the game, and odd things ensued - The default white leather armor became part of my skin, but that was sadly not what I was looking for.

Can you post the model code?

Sure:

}

 

There you go

 

EDIT: Okay, so I redid the model code (and changed it above), and now it renders the model, but it is a bit small, the arms don't move, and it is still textured as the white leather armour

Okay, so after lots of trial and error, I have this:

 

public class ElementalArmor extends ItemArmor{


public ElementalArmor(ArmorMaterial var1, int var2, int var3) {
	super(var1, var2, var3);
} 

public ModelBiped getArmorModel(EntityLivingBase entityLiving, ItemStack itemStack, int armorSlot) {
	if(itemStack != null) { 
		if(itemStack.getItem() instanceof ElementalArmor) {
			int type = ((ItemArmor)itemStack.getItem()).armorType;
			if(type == 0) {
				return null;
			}
			if(type == 1) {
				return new ModelRCPChest();
			}
			if(type == 2) {
				return null;
			}
			if(type == 3) {
				return null;
			}
		}
	}
	return null;

}

@Override 
public String getArmorTexture(ItemStack itemstack, Entity entity, int slot, String type) {
	if(itemstack != null) { 
		if(itemstack.getItem() instanceof ElementalArmor) {
			int type1 = ((ItemArmor)itemstack.getItem()).armorType;
			if(type1 == 0) {
				return null;
			}
			if(type1 == 1) {
				return Constants.MODID + ":textures/armor/policeArmorChest.png";
			}
			if(type1 == 2) {
				return null;
			}
			if(type1 == 3) {
				return null;
			}
		}
	}
	return null;

}
}

 

and it works... sort of. The texture is working, and the model is there, but aside from rendering the model that I want for the chest, it also adds random parts of the textures to the legs and head. So to summarise, model and texture work, but extra stuff appears for no apparent reason.

Could you please provide an ingame screenshot, and a techne one of your model? I would like to understand a bit more

Sure thing:

This should be all you need

 

By the way, I have discovered that the arms of the armor don't move with my arms. Is there a way to fix this?

 

Thanks,

Okay guys, I figured it out. Thank you so much for your help, and if anyone at all wants to know how to do this, I will post a tutorial on my mod's wikia page (Though it may take a week or so)

 

Thanks
