Make Player Model AIM whilst holding specific item

[ScottehBoeh]

Alrighty:

 

I've created the model, the item and the required renderers. They all work with each other perfectly. The item also fires an arrow (A starter object that I'm using before upgrading to a custom entity)

 

Images of Gun:

 

The only problem I'm having is that I can not find out how to have the player look as if they're holding the weapon like an actual gun. (Using 1.7.10 Forge btw)

 

I've heard of something called "Enum"? I'm reletively new to Modding in Minecraft (I know basics and some advanced stuff)

 

Here's my code for Item Rifle:

 

[nobbc]import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.entity.projectile.EntityArrow;
import net.minecraft.entity.projectile.EntitySnowball;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.EnumAction;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.MathHelper;
import net.minecraft.util.MovingObjectPosition;
import net.minecraft.util.Vec3;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.player.ArrowNockEvent;
import net.mcheroesandgenerals.warblocks.*;

public class ItemRifle extends Item
{
  public ItemRifle()
  {
    super();
    this.setFull3D();
    
  }
  
  
  
  public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer)
  {
    ArrowNockEvent event = new ArrowNockEvent(par3EntityPlayer, par1ItemStack);
    MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.post(event);
    if (event.isCanceled())
    {
        return event.result;
        
    }
  if(par3EntityPlayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode||par3EntityPlayer.inventory.hasItem(WarBlocks.itemRifleAmmo))
      {

      par2World.playSoundAtEntity(par3EntityPlayer, "wb:weapon.rifle.shoot", 1, 1);
      par3EntityPlayer.inventory.consumeInventoryItem(WarBlocks.itemRifleAmmo);
      if (!par2World.isRemote)
         par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityArrow(par2World, par3EntityPlayer, );
      par2World.spawnParticle("flame", 0, 0, 0, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D);
      }
      return par1ItemStack;
      
  }

  
}[/nobbc]

That's not the issue. The item renders perfectly. I just want the hands to have an aiming-like action (like the Bow when you're about to shoot)

[ScottehBoeh]

If you are trying to get the player model to look like it is aiming a bow when using your item you need to put the following in your item class:

 

    /**
     * returns the action that specifies what animation to play when the items is being used
     */
    public EnumAction getItemUseAction(ItemStack stack)
    {
        return EnumAction.BOW;
    }

 

This will make the player model "Aim" the item as they would a bow

 

This triggers the player model to raise its arms. At least that is what I deduced while skimming the ModelBiped classes.

 

Let me know if it works

 

Tried that and it didn't work. :\ Not sure why though (Because I HAVE tried that method before). Any other solutions?

[TLHPoE]

Maybe you have to override the Item#getMaxItemUseDuration and Item#onItemRightClick methods? By default the first one is zero and the second one is empty (except for a return).

 

Look in the ItemBow class to see what to add.
