Submodel Variants?

Recommended Posts

So I have a submodel that I'm using to represent some TE data and just changed from it being a boolean property to an integer (0-6).  I'm perfectly happy copy-pasting the submodel json file 5 times and supplying slight variations on each, however I wanted to ask if it was possible to have variants in the model and just query that instead.

 

My blockstate file looks like this atm:

 

"salt_level": {
            "6": {
                "submodel": {
                    "saltblock":  { "model": "harderfarming:salt6" }
                }
            },
            "5": {
                "submodel": {
                    "saltblock":  { "model": "harderfarming:salt5" }
                }
            },
            "4": {
                "submodel": {
                    "saltblock":  { "model": "harderfarming:salt4" }
                }
            },
            "3": {
                "submodel": {
                    "saltblock":  { "model": "harderfarming:salt3" }
                }
            },
            "2": {
                "submodel": {
                    "saltblock":  { "model": "harderfarming:salt2" }
                }
            },
            "1": {
                "submodel": {
                    "saltblock":  { "model": "harderfarming:salt1" }
                }
            },
            "0": {}
        }

 

Where each of those submodels would look like:

 

{
    "__comment": "Model generated using MrCrayfish's Model Creator (http://mrcrayfish.com/modelcreator/)",
    "textures": {
        "0": "harderfarming:blocks/saltblock"
    },
    "elements": [
        {
            "name": "salt",
            "from": [ 5.0, 0.0, 5.0 ], 
            "to": [ 11.0, 6.0, 11.0 ], 
            "faces": {
                "north": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 5.0, 5.0, 11.0, 11.0 ] },
                "east": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 5.0, 5.0, 11.0, 11.0 ] },
                "south": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 5.0, 5.0, 11.0, 11.0 ] },
                "west": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 5.0, 5.0, 11.0, 11.0 ] },
                "up": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 5.0, 5.0, 11.0, 11.0 ] },
                "down": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 5.0, 5.0, 11.0, 11.0 ] }
            }
        }
    ]
}

 

Only that the "to" and UV values will differ slightly.

 

I was just wondering if there was a cleaner/simpler way to do this.

I'm not sure this will work, but maybe you can try to pas arguments to it like you with models. Like for example in a wall:

 

"submodel": {"wall_north": {"model": "wall_side","uvlock": true}}

 

So i would try this:

"submodel": {"wall_north": {"model": "wall_side","uvlock": true},"var1":0, "var2":1}

 

If i check this with the jsonlint it doesn't give errors so that's alright. Don't know if it will work.

I would try it like this.

Mmmm....nope.  Typed like that the game through a "could not find variant" message caused by "Not a JSON Object: 6.0".  Shoving the var1/var2 stuff inside the } just to the left (so it was part of the submodel declaration) threw "Expected to[1] to be a Float, was "#height"" message instead.

If each model has a different "to", then I think you need to stick to separate model files.

 

That's what I figured, thought I'd ask.
