[1.7.10] Change the rotation of the player's arm when an item is held?

[Eternaldoom]

Hello,

 

This is more of a hypothetical question (I don't have any code to show), but what's the best way to change the player's arm rotation? I imagine it would involve a RenderPlayerEvent, where you cancel the arm rendering and render new ones, but how would one get the player's skin to display on these arms?

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

RenderPlayer.renderFirstPersonArm() does all that, called from renderItemInFirstPerson, so I imagine you would just need to copy the setup code out of there that you need. for example

            this.mc.getTextureManager().bindTexture(entityclientplayermp.getLocationSkin());

and

        this.modelBipedMain.setRotationAngles(0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F, p_82441_1_);

Ok, I got the right arm rendering, but held items are no longer translated/rotated. Here's my code:

 

private ModelDismemberedArm model = new ModelDismemberedArm();

@SubscribeEvent
public void render(RenderPlayerEvent.Specials.Post evt) {
	evt.renderer.modelBipedMain.bipedRightArm.showModel = true;
	evt.renderer.modelBipedMain.bipedLeftArm.showModel = true;
	GL11.glPushMatrix();
	evt.renderer.modelBipedMain.bipedRightArm.postRender(0.0625f);
	if(evt.entityPlayer instanceof EntityClientPlayerMP)Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.bindTexture(((EntityClientPlayerMP)evt.entityPlayer).getLocationSkin());
	model.render();
	GL11.glPopMatrix();
	evt.renderer.modelBipedMain.bipedRightArm.showModel = false;
	evt.renderer.modelBipedMain.bipedLeftArm.showModel = false;
}

 

public class ModelDismemberedArm extends ModelBase {

public ModelRenderer arm;

public ModelDismemberedArm() {
	this.textureWidth = 64;
	this.textureHeight = 32;
	this.arm = new ModelRenderer(this, 40, 16);
        this.arm.addBox(-3.0F, -2.0F, -2.0F, 4, 12, 4, 0);
}

public void render() {
	this.arm.render(0.0625f);
}

}

What in the world? Why are you creating a new model? You said you wanted to change the rotation not make a new one!

I've read that it's the only way to accomplish this. Do you know of another?

[Eternaldoom]

Anyone?

Why didn't you do what TGG said?

 

this.modelBipedMain.setRotationAngles(0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F, p_82441_1_);

 

Should work.. (Of course on RenderPlayerEvent.Specials.Pre)
