Hi, I am working with a block that has a custom model. This block is an eye that always looks at the player. If I place this block somewhere, it will look at me, so it works, but if I place more than one block, both of them will go crazy. If the game only renders one of them (ex. the other eye is behind me) it works without any problem. So my question is how can I make the eye movement per block so if I place more than one eyes next to each other, they would both look at me? Pics and code files below.

 

If only one block is on the screen, it will look at me:

 

If there are more than one eye blocks on the screen, none of them will look at me: (left side of the pic)

Pls tell me if I forgot something

Well I can tell you right now that this:

 

	@Override
public void updateEntity() {
	this.moveEye();
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void moveEye() {
	//...
}

 

Will crash the dedicated server.

How can I fix it? And what did I do wrong with the eye movement thingy?

Okay, I've moved the calculations in the TESR, but it is still buggy if I place more eyes.

 

 

I've noticed something while moving around in the front of the blocks: The eye on the left looks exactly where the one on the right should look at and vice versa.

Well, inverse the values...

Problem solved!

I made a separate method in the model class, that renders the pupil separately.

This is my render code:

EntityPlayer ep = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;
float eyeX = Math.max(Math.min((float) ((ac1_rot == 0 ? tee.xCoord : (ac1_rot == 90 ? -tee.zCoord - 1.0F : (ac1_rot == 180 ? -tee.xCoord - 1.0F : tee.zCoord))) + 0.5F - (ac1_rot == 0 ? ep.posX : (ac1_rot == 90 ? -ep.posZ : (ac1_rot == 180 ? -ep.posX : ep.posZ)))), 1.0F), -1.0F) * 1.8F;
float eyeY = Math.max(Math.min((float) ((tee.yCoord) + 0.5F - (ep.posY)), 1.0F), -1.0F) * 1.8F;
this.model.renderModel(0.0625F);
GL11.glTranslatef(eyeX / 12.0F, eyeY / 12.0F, 0.0F);
this.model.renderPupil(0.0625F);

Now, all the eyes are staring at me
