[1.8.9] Modifying the models

[heero]

Hi,

 

I need some help to start with the Model system in 1.8.9 :

 

I want to create a block that can be rendered at different Y positions. the position depend on the block below. So I created an UnlistedProperty ("bottom_position")

Now I want to take the model defined in JSON and update the Y position before rendering.

 

I can't figure where to start. There is a lot of interfaces/class (ICustomModelLoader, ISmartBlockModel, ...) but the documentation is poor (or well hiden).

 

Can you give me a direction to begin with that stuff ?

 

 

Thx

Could you elaborate on what you want.

 

I want to create a block that can be rendered at different Y positions.

 

Sentences like this just don't make sense. Any block can be rendered at any Y pos. I guess you ment "renders differently at different Y" - even if that is correct, that is still not enough apparently, because next thing you say is that block should not be based on Y pos, but on:

 

the position depend on the block below.

 

Fix your question.

Hi,

 

Sorry, not realy good with english, hard to explain myself.

 

So I have some sort of slab block in my mod ( like the stone slab and wood slab in vanilla). Then I have some "special blocks", and when they are placed over a slab block, I want to render them like they where touching the slab ( so posY - 0.5 to be simple).

I have many of theses "special blocks" with all kind of differents properties, and I don't want to duplicate each model and decrement the Y position. I want to dynamically shift.

 

So I need to :

1) Check the block below and assign the right value to the unlistedproperty (that part is good)

2) Intercept the model and modifying the Y property of each quad

 

Is that clear ?

So actualy I looking to wrap the VanillaLoader (or every loader ?) in my CustomLoader.

 

 

Is that a good solution ? Is there an easy way to do that ?
