[1.8] Access Item Rotation / Translation From .JSON Model

[EverythingGames]

Hi

I realize the need to be able to access the rotation / translation values of an item to do minor animations. I know this is possible because I've seen others do this such as TheGreyGhost and his Item translation tool. I just need to know how to access these values and change them (I don't need to save them) in Java. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi

 

I think you can use IPerspectiveAwareModel to do this now.  I haven't tried it yet but it looks like it should work.

Thanks TGG for the reply. I'm not to sure on how to use the interface in terms of how I link it with my item and model (I've never used this before). Are there any tutorials for 1.8 out there that cover this? Any more help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi

 

I haven't seen any tutorials (but I haven't looked either )

 

coolAlias has a snippet here

You could perhaps base your code off this tutorial project

https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample

and adapt one of the "smart" models to be IPerspectiveAwareModel - for example MBE04.

 

It will probably take a bit of stuffing around to get it to work as you expect, so be prepared for frustration I think.
