Hey everyone!

I'm trying to model a peripheral for computercraft and I keep running into the problem of making the sides meet. This is the code I have so far.

https://github.com/Cyb3rWarri0r8/CCUUID/blob/master/src/main/java/io/cyb3rwarri0r8/ccuuid/client/ModelUUIDGenerator.java

 

This is what I have it looking like so far.

I don't know which side that is, but figure that out and mess with this line:

???Side.setInitialRotationPoint(0.0F, 8.0F, -8.0F);

 

One of those three numbers will move it in a direction.  Move em' around until things line up.

So I have it all together but now I'm not sure how to get it to rotate based on the direction players are facing. I tried setting it with the block methods but I don't think I did it right so it didn't rotate.

^anyone??

direction -=-> te nbt ----\

                  \-> metadata -=->Rotation dependent on it... (Gl.rotatef, ...)

I would recommend taking a look at the vanilla chest class. It sets the blocks metadata according the players rotation when its placed. The only thing you have to do next is get the blockmetadata in de modelrenderer class, and set the right rotation for each metadata.

Ok! I'll have to try that. Thanks!

I used the stuff to set the metadata but it didn't change anything. I have the model placing the texture in the right place but the black bounding areas aren't in the right rotation. How do I fix that?

In your modelrenderer class you should add a rotation to the model according to its metadata.

In order to do so, you simply have to get the blocks metadata through "this.tileEntity.WorldObj.getBlock(x, y, z).getBlockMetadata()". Next you could use a switch methode, and set the right rotation ("Gl_setRotation()") for each metadata.

I did that but everytime I try to run it this is what happens:

Ok, so you make a field of type UUIDGenerator (your TileEntity I assume). In your TESR. That first of all makes no sense, because your TESR is used for all instances of your TileEntity.

Ok, lets continue.

Next field is of type float and you try to store some metadata into it. First of all, why the fuck is it a float? Metadata is an int.

Then you use the tileEntity field you just created, but you never initialized it, so it's still null.

For the coordinates you use some arbitrary static fields from your Block class. What! That's not how this works.

 

Conclusion: Learn Java. Then come back. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

I'm sorry, I don't speak ass hole.

 

The float was just me trying to figure out why it was crashing; It was initially set to int.

 

As for the other stuff that’s me coding at 11 o'clock at night. I know Java to a degree but I can't figure out what I need to do with certain things. Such as instantiation. I'm still learning what needs to be instantiated and what doesn't.

 

What the heck is a TESR? Tessellator?

 

Thanks for the help.

If you do not know how to initialize a variable in Java, you don't even know one of the most basic things in Java, and you really shouldn't mod Minecraft. So:

I do know how to! I just don't know when!! I'm still learning Java.

What does any of this have to do with my issue? I can't get my block to rotate if you aren't going to help stay off my thread.

 

You know, I'm not 30 and have taken Java classes in college or whatever. I'm still in highschool trying to learn for fun and you all aren't being helpful. Telling me to learn Java doesn't help me it just pisses me off. The whole purpose of a forum is to be able to help one another. Plus, Its not like I just come here for my issues. I always spend at least an hour googling for tutorials or info on what I want to do before I come here for assistance.
