how to add a fire animation to a torch

[Zenim]

Hi there.

I have made a new torch class in my mod and would like to add a fire animation to a torch.

 

I don't know where to start. I have tried to find the torch class but can't..

Any tips?

Hi

 

Depends what you mean by animation.  Torch in your hand, or in the world (as a block)?

 

BlockTorch is the vanilla torch.  But BlockFire might be more interesting.

 

Best way for block animation is by animated textures.  You can do that with mcmeta textures, for example see fire_layer_0.png and fire_layer_0.png.mcmeta.  A google on animated textures will also bring up a relevant tutorial or two.

Thanks so much for your reply it got me on the right track.

I cant believe I could not find the BlockTorch it was so simple.. to tired I am guessing.

 

 

For those how are trying to do the same thing here the code in my class that i made.

I didn't use the smoke in the end so just deleted those lines.

 

 

@Override

public void randomDisplayTick(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Random rand)

    {

        EnumFacing enumfacing = (EnumFacing)state.getValue(FACING);

        double d0 = (double)pos.getX() + 0.5D;

        double d1 = (double)pos.getY() + 0.55D;

        double d2 = (double)pos.getZ() + 0.5D;

        double d3 = 0.18D;

        double d4 = 0.20D;

        double d5 = (double)pos.getX() + 0.5D;

        double d6 = (double)pos.getY() + 0.6D;

        double d7 = (double)pos.getZ() + 0.5D;

 

        if (enumfacing.getAxis().isHorizontal())

        {

            EnumFacing enumfacing1 = enumfacing.getOpposite();

            worldIn.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.FLAME, d0 + d4 * (double)enumfacing1.getFrontOffsetX(), d1 + d3, d2 + d4 * (double)enumfacing1.getFrontOffsetZ(), 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, new int[0]);

        }

        else

        {

          worldIn.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.FLAME, d5, d6, d7, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, new int[0]);

        }

    }
