TileEntitySpecialRenderer does not face the correct direction.

[Raycoms]

I have a tileEntity which should face the way the player places it.

currently I used some constants so it faces north at least.

Without the constants if I fill in x and z as posX and posZ the block will follow the player.

Without the rotation my block seems upside down.

I set all the variables in the block so I am able to get the facing from the block state.

But I don't know how to set the renderer up.

 

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public class TileEntityScarecrowRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer<ScarecrowTileEntity>
{
    /**
     * The model of the scarecrow.
     */
    private final ModelScarecrowBoth model;

    /**
     * Offset to the block middle.
     */
    private static final double BLOCK_MIDDLE = 0.5;

    /**
     * Y-Offset in order to have the scarecrow over ground.
     */
    private static final double YOFFSET = 1.5;

    /**
     * Which size the scarecrow should have ingame.
     */
    private static final double SIZERATIO = .0625;

    /**
     * Rotate the model some degrees.
     */
    private static final int ROTATION = 180;

    /**
     * Rotate it on the following x offset.
     */
    private static final float XROTATIONOFFSET = 0.311F;

    /**
     * Rotate it on the following y offset.
     */
    private static final float YROTATIONOFFSET = 0.0F;

    /**
     * Rotate it on the following z offset.
     */
    private static final float ZROTATIONOFFSET = 2.845F;


    /**
     * The public constructor for the renderer.
     */
    public TileEntityScarecrowRenderer()
    {
        super();
        this.model = new ModelScarecrowBoth();
    }
    
    @Override
    public void renderTileEntityAt(ScarecrowTileEntity te, double posX, double posY, double posZ, float partialTicks, int destroyStage)
    {
        //Store the transformation
        GlStateManager.pushMatrix();
        //Set viewport to tile entity position to render it
        GlStateManager.translate(posX+BLOCK_MIDDLE, posY+YOFFSET, posZ+BLOCK_MIDDLE);

        this.bindTexture(getResourceLocation(te));

        GlStateManager.rotate(ROTATION, XROTATIONOFFSET, YROTATIONOFFSET, ZROTATIONOFFSET);
        this.model.render((float) SIZERATIO);
        
        /* ============ Rendering Code stops here =========== */
        //Restore the transformation, so other renderer's are not messed up.
        GlStateManager.popMatrix();
    }

    /**
     * Returns the ResourceLocation of the scarecrow texture.
     * @param tileEntity the tileEntity of the scarecrow.
     * @return the location.
     */
    private static ResourceLocation getResourceLocation(ScarecrowTileEntity tileEntity)
    {
        String loc;
        
        if(tileEntity.getType() == ScarecrowTileEntity.ScareCrowType.PUMPKINHEAD)
        {
            loc = "textures/blocks/blockScarecrowPumpkin.png";
        }
        else
        {
            loc = "textures/blocks/blockScarecrowNormal.png";
        }
        
        return new ResourceLocation(Constants.MOD_ID + ":" + loc);
    }

Dont know anything about this but heres a reference http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=41059.0

[Raycoms]

But he doesn't use a tileEntityRenderer,

I already set the blockStates correct I now have to render it accordingly.

[Raycoms]

I unfortunately only have a .java model of the scarecrow how should I do it then?

With the new block model system...

[Raycoms]

Let's assume I didn't model that and that also I have no idea of modelling and the guy that models that kind of stuff is not available.

Or just assume I plan on animating it later on.

How can I let it face the correct direction for now?

[Raycoms]

I stored the rotation in the BlockState of my custom block and I am able to retrieve it in the tileEntitySpecialRenderer.

 

But the State is an EnumFacing and I don't actually know how I should rotate it.

GL11.rotatef(...)

[Raycoms]

I use GlStateManager.rotate(180, 0.3, 0.0 2.845);

This fixed variables let my scarecrow face north being in the correct position.

 

What do I have to change to have him show into any EnumFacing?

EnumFacing says which way it is facing so after rotating it to face north, check if it is facing a direction lets say south, if it is rotate it again to the correct position.
