[1.7.10]Render Bounding Box wierednes

[Wuerfel_21]

I have my TESR's rendering axises, which extend out of the block.

 

This is the code i use for a single axis: https://github.com/Wuerfel21/The-Derpy-Shiz-Mod/blob/master/src/main/java/net/wuerfel21/derpyshiz/entity/tile/AbstractGearbox.java#L41-L59

 

Now i tried adapting it for 2 axises: https://github.com/Wuerfel21/The-Derpy-Shiz-Mod/blob/master/src/main/java/net/wuerfel21/derpyshiz/entity/tile/TileEntityGearboxSplitting.java#L145-L181

 

but it seems to cover only the block itself...

show some screenshots of the symptoms?

There isnt much to show, it just has the default render bounding box, e.g. when the actual block is offscreen, all stuff extending from it isnt rendered...

(BTW the first method works, but the lower one(which is for 2 axises) shows the above symptoms)

Hi

 

Try this

 

TileEntity::
/** Return an appropriate bounding box enclosing the TESR
 * This method is used to control whether the TESR should be rendered or not, depending on where the player is looking.
 * The default is the AABB for the parent block, which might be too small if the TESR renders outside the borders of the
 *   parent block.
 * If you get the boundary too small, the TESR may disappear when you aren't looking directly at it.
 * @return an appropriately size AABB for the TileEntity
 */
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
@Override
public AxisAlignedBB getRenderBoundingBox()
{
	// if your render should always be performed regardless of where the player is looking, use infinite
	AxisAlignedBB infiniteExample = INFINITE_EXTENT_AABB;

	// our gem will stay above the block, up to 1 block higher, so our bounding box is from [x,y,z] to  [x+1, y+2, z+1]
	AxisAlignedBB aabb = new AxisAlignedBB(getPos(), getPos().add(1, 2, 1));
	return aabb;
}

 

(What I mean is - try it with an infinite box.  If that fixes your problem, your bounding box is wrong - try setting a breakpoint or System.out.println in there  to see why)

I already knew it was the bounding box, it was the only thing i changed.

 

So, again:

First metod works perfectly, but only accounts for 1 axis

Second method should do for 2 axises, but does only have the block itself in the bounding box, which is the problem

I guess you didn't try this suggestion?

 

eg

System.out.println("b1: " + b1);
System.out.println("b2:" + b2);
AxisAlignedBB retval = b1.func_111270_a(b2);
System.out.println("b1xb2:" + retval);
	return b1.func_111270_a(b2);

If you do this, you'll find out pretty quickly that your switches are busted.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I've made this bug at least a dozen times over the years...
