Hello all,

 

I am having trouble rendering my custom modeled block - I wanted my block's model to face different directions depending on which way the player is facing, which works. The problem arises when I try and make and render my block as an item as well. Whenever I enter the game and the item is visible, the game crashes immediately. I believe I am doing it right, because when I remove the directional code, it renders fine with no crashes. How would I make these two functions work together? My code is as follows:

 

Block Class

public class PottedPlantProp extends BlockContainer {

public PottedPlantProp(Material material) {
	super(material);

	this.setCreativeTab(DesconCreativeTabs.tabExterior);
	this.setHarvestLevel("", 1);
	this.setHardness(1F);
	this.setBlockBounds(0.0625F, 0F, 0.0625F, 0.9375F, 0.750F, 0.9375F);
	this.setBlockTextureName(Main.modID + ":" + "textures/blocks/pottedplant.png");
}

public int getRenderType() {
	return -1;
}

public boolean isOpaqueCube() {
	return false;
}

public boolean renderAsNormalBlock() {
	return false;
}

@Override
public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World var1, int var2) {
	return new TileEntityPottedPlant();
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister iconRegister) {
	this.blockIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon(Main.modID + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
}

//Directional Code

/*public void onBlockPlacedBy(World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityLivingBase player, ItemStack itemstack)
    {
        int l = MathHelper.floor_double((double)(player.rotationYaw * 4.0F / 360.0F) + 0.5D) & 3;
        
        world.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(x, y, z, l, 3);
        
    }*/
}

 

ClientProxy

//Potted Plant
	TileEntitySpecialRenderer renderPottedPlant = new RenderPottedPlant();
	ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TileEntityPottedPlant.class, renderPottedPlant);
	MinecraftForgeClient.registerItemRenderer(Item.getItemFromBlock(PropsGeneral.pottedplant), new ItemRenderPottedPlant(renderPottedPlant, new TileEntityPottedPlant()));

 

ItemRenderer

public class ItemRenderPottedPlant implements IItemRenderer {

TileEntitySpecialRenderer render;
private TileEntity entity;

public ItemRenderPottedPlant(TileEntitySpecialRenderer render, TileEntity entity) {
	this.entity = entity;
	this.render = render;
}

@Override
public boolean handleRenderType(ItemStack item, ItemRenderType type) {
	return true;
}

@Override
public boolean shouldUseRenderHelper(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, ItemRendererHelper helper) {
	return true;
}

@Override
public void renderItem(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, Object... data) {

	if(type == IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType.ENTITY)
		GL11.glTranslatef(-0.5F, 0.0F, -0.5F);
	this.render.renderTileEntityAt(this.entity, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0F);
}

}

 

Block Renderer

public class RenderPottedPlant extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {

private static final ResourceLocation texture = new ResourceLocation(Main.modID + ":" + "textures/props/PottedPlantTexture.png");

private ModelPottedPlant model;

public RenderPottedPlant() {
	this.model = new ModelPottedPlant();
}	

@Override
public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileEntity, double x, double y, double z, float f) {
	/*World world = tileEntity.getWorldObj();
	int dir = world.getBlockMetadata(tileEntity.xCoord, tileEntity.yCoord, tileEntity.zCoord);
	*/
	GL11.glPushMatrix();

	GL11.glTranslatef((float)x + 0.5F, (float)y + 1.5F, (float)z + 0.5F);
	GL11.glRotatef(180, 0F, 0F, 1F);
	//GL11.glRotatef(dir * (90F), 0F, 1F, 0F);

	this.bindTexture(texture);

		GL11.glPushMatrix();
			this.model.renderModel(0.0625F);
		GL11.glPopMatrix();
	GL11.glPopMatrix();
}
}

 

P.S. In the state the code is in above, the directional code has been commented out, so that the rendering works

What is the crash message?  Which line does it point to in your code?

 

-TGG

 

 

I think(dont know for sure) that its crashing because an Item is not a real tileEntity. This means the game can't calculate the rotation which will cause eventually. So I would recommend trying to make an separate render code, where you don't set(dynamicly) any rotation, and use that for you Item rendering.

 

or use an icon instead of the model for itemEntity, since the game will slowly rotate the model, which in your case will cause a conflict.

The crash report is as follows:

This...

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

at com.descon.renderer.RenderPottedPlant.renderTileEntityAt(RenderPottedPlant.java:27) ~[RenderPottedPlant.class:?]

...is where my code is first referenced in the crash log I believe

 

Thanks,

-Whyneb360

 

P.S. In the above crash report, I annotated which line of code related to the reference.

Hi

 

so...

either tileEntity is null

or

tileEntity.world is null.

 

Set a breakpoint or System.out.println there, to find out which one...

 

In this case tileEntity.world is null.  You are trying to pull information about a block from a TileEntity which you created from nothing

new ItemRenderPottedPlant(renderPottedPlant, new TileEntityPottedPlant()))

 

Your renderer needs to check for that, and use a default value if it's an item not a block.

eg

if (tileEntity.hasWorldObj()) {

  get value from world block

} else {

use default value

}

 

-TGG

 

 

Thank you for your response, however I'm not sure where to put the the if statement you mentioned, or what the default value would be. Sorry if this seems like an obvious question

Hi

 

Check out TileEntityChestRenderer, it has a similar example.

 

The key problem is - your TileEntityRenderer is trying to use the TileEntity's direction to figure out which direction to render.  That only makes sense if your TileEntity is associated with a block that you've placed in the world.

 

The if statement goes in your renderer before you try to use the world object to retrieve the direction.
