[1.9.4] [SOLVED] Problems with Entities

[Bektor]

Hi,

 

I've created a small test entity which basically does nothing and registered it, but it does not

show up ingame. I've got a spawn egg, but when using it, nothing happens and when using the

summon command I'm getting the message: Unable to summon entity.

 

So what am I doing wrong?

 

    @Override
    public void preInit() {
        EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(EntityTest.class, "Test", 0, PrimevalForest.getInstance(), 128, 3, true, 0x000000, 0x00ff00);
    }

This is the code for registering the entity. It is called at the end of the preInit. The method is in the ServerProxy/CommonProxy.

 

public class EntityTest extends Entity {

 

Thx in advance.

You kinda need to register an entity renderer too.

[Bektor]

Well, my entity has the public constructor:

 

   public EntityTest(World worldIn) {

 

In the Client Proxy is also this method:

 

	    RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityTest.class, RenderTest::new);

 

The Render code does nothing yet. It just prints out a message, so I know it's working. But even that does not happen and the summon command is also not working and the spawn egg which gets created seems also to do nothing.

 

When I put in /summon Test ~ ~ ~ it gives me that out:

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityTest.class, RenderTest::new);

 

It supposed to be RenderTest.class instead of RenderTest::new

 

Edit: you actually suppose to create a IRenderFactory implementation for your class

That's what RenderTest::new does. Just shortens that stuff with some smooth Java 8.

That's not the case in 1.8.9+. The

registerEntityRenderingHandler

overload with a

Class

argument has been deprecated in favour of the overload with an

IRenderFactory

argument. Bektor is using a method reference of the

RenderTest

constructor as the

IRenderFactory

argument.

Which RenderTest::new is.

 

@Bektor: The ID for your entity will be "<modID>.Test", not "Test".

So I have to type in /summon primevalforest:Test ~ ~ ~?

 

Even that results in this:

Skipping Entity with id primevalforest:Test

Unable to summon object

 

EDIT:

Just overlooked the "." because I'm used to the ":"

So the summon command is now working, but the spawn egg still does not work!

The ID is "<modID>.Test", not "<modID>:Test". Do you not use auto completion?

EDIT:

There is even no console output which tells me that there is something wrong when trying to

use the spawn egg. Just nothing happens and nothing will be shown in the console.

Put a breakpoint into ItemMonsterPlacer#spawnCreature and check why it's not working.

 

Edit: Totally missed this, but your entity does not extend EntityLivingBase, hence it cannot be used with vanilla spawn eggs.

Ah, ok. Thx.

This explains a lot. ^^
