I'm trying to make a staff shoot a constant beam of fire as long as they hold right click.

  • Author

Yes, it would be cool but i don't quite know how to make a beam, could you or anyone else help me with this issue?

  • Author

I realize no one is going to spoon feed me the code, all i know is i need to make a custom entity but other than that i have no clue and no class has a beam

  • Author

All i'm seeing in that class is the texture location and the "this.bindTexture(field_177117_k);" i'm kind of confused where the actual beam comes into play, wouldn't that be in the entity class where the guardian shoots the beam at the player?

So I've been trying to do it but it's not rendering the beam and its not setting things on fire here's the classes.

EntityFlames: http://pastebin.com/y0z8LHUa (I extended the entity by EntityArrow, don't know if thats wrong)

 

RenderFlames: http://pastebin.com/rqtENPX7

 

MainClass: http://pastebin.com/54QiyPEe

 

ClientProxy: http://pastebin.com/qY8FzLPx

first of all. in your flame staff you are also spawning entites on client side. DONT DO THAT. the server spawns and tells the client that sth has spawned

  • Author

is it because of this

 

if (!par2World.isRemote)

{

            par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityFlames(par2World, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0));

}

 

should i get rid of the if statement

Well, now that you've spawned the entity, you need to tell it what to look like (how to render). So, you need to make a class which extends Render, and bind it to your entity with:

 

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityFlame.class, new RenderEntityFlame());

 

Hope this helps!

I already made the Render class and i already have the registry in the client proxy. But it still wont render the beam.

Hi

Spawn the entity at the player (make sure your entity's construcor has world and player parameters).

par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new YOURENTITY(par2World, par3EntityPlayer));

EDIT: Use this and extend EntityThrowable (unless you specifically want an arrow type projectile):

public YOURENTITY(World par1World, EntityLivingBase par2EntityLivingBase)
{
    super(par1World, par2EntityLivingBase);
}

You can solve the burst issue one of two ways. The first is to extend the range of the beam so that they match up when fired. The second way is to stop rendering the beam with the entity and render it based on position.
