Posted August 27, 20169 yr Hi! This is the first time I'm making entities for my mod and since I haven't played with entities before I need some direction to help me on the way. What I'm trying to make is an entity that behaves like leash knot - it doesn't move, it's there where it is, but it should have a value for it's facing and the type(aka as I saw the methods write/read from/to NBT I should just write those two tags along other stuff)*. Now how do I make the entity have different textures depending on the 'type' and are there any great tutorials for making entities. Any help is appreciated. *From my understanding how things work in Minecraft, I should make this entity non collidable and it should have no AI. EDIT: Should work kinda like paintings (I'm making traffic signs, just to give you a picture of what I'm doing).
August 27, 20169 yr Extending EntityHanging is a right pain in the ass. Recreating it is also a right pain in the ass. Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
August 27, 20169 yr Author I saw the EntityHanging class and I believe you. So many unnecessary methods (at least for me). I know I'll have to make my own entity class (not Entity, EntitySign).
August 27, 20169 yr The problem is that you need all the functionality of EntityHanging, but you can't extend EntityHanging due to how current hanging entities work (there's at least two and one of those methods goes "I am being spawned, which type am I?" and has hardcoded switching statements.
