[1.8] Rendering item on Custom Entity won't stop spinning

[andreas90s]

Hi,

 

I'm having some issues rendering an Apple on top of my entity, it seems to just continue spinning.

 

Here is my code:

And the issue currently stands with an Apple rendered (but continuously spinning) on top of my custom entity.

 

How on earth do I stop it spinning?

 

Thanks,

Andreas

Entity items have rotation applied based on their age.

I suggest you create a static entity item rather than creating a new one every frame, and manually forcing its age to 0.

Thanks for the reply, Draco18s.

 

Would you care to elaborate a little, does Minecraft have something similar to this I could look in to so I can get guidance?

 

The only other method I've tried and that makes sense, available in the RenderManager is renderEntityStatic, but didn't do the job (kept spinning).

As I said, they render rotation based on age.  A brand new entity item has a slightly random age.

 

As for an example,

https://github.com/Draco18s/Artifacts/blob/master/main/java/com/draco18s/artifacts/entity/TileEntityDisplayPedestal.java

 

When there is an item in the inventory, it creates an EntityItem (which is rendered with the standard EntityRenderer when the TE's model renders, with some GL_rotates so that it lays flat) and sets its age and rotation to 0.

Thanks Draco18s but I still can't figure it out, I spent some time on this last night and today but can't find any information regarding setting the entity age/making the entity static.

[Draco18s]

ent.age = 0

?

[andreas90s]

Entity.age is private as of 1.8 but I managed to stop the spinning by reading how you used GL11 to translate your shelves mod items.

 

Thanks for your help, Draco18s!

At least you figured it out.
