[1.11] Register Particles

[Awesome_Spider]

A few days ago I asked on this forum how to make a custom particle. Now I am have trouble with it. Am I supposed to register the particle somehow? How do I spawn my custom particle in the world?

 

Here is my code thus far:

 

Particle code:

public class ParticleSteam extends Particle {
    protected ParticleSteam(World world, double posX, double posY, double posZ, double speedX, double speedY, double speedZ) {
        super(world, posX, posY, posZ, speedX, speedY, speedZ);
    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static class Factory implements IParticleFactory
    {
        public Particle createParticle(int particleID, World world, double xCoord, double yCoord, double zCoord, double xSpeed, double ySpeed, double zSpeed, int... p_178902_15_)
        {
            return new ParticleSteam(world, xCoord, yCoord, zCoord, xSpeed, ySpeed, zSpeed);
        }
    }
}

Never worked with Particles, but I have seen the ParticleManager and it has a registry function.

[Awesome_Spider]

Ok, thanks. I'll try that.

I'm getting a crash because of a nullpointer. I've seen so many crash reports today, lol.

 

Main class where I register the particle:

public class RobotiCraft
{
    public static final String ModId = "roboticraft";
    public static final String Name = "RobotiCraft";
    public static final String Version = "1.11R1.0.0";
    // static final String Dependencies = "required-after:" + "owlcore" + "@[" + Version +  ");";

    public static Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(ModId);

    @Mod.Instance
    public static RobotiCraft instance = new RobotiCraft();

    @SidedProxy(clientSide="wiseowl5.roboticraft.Proxies.ClientProxy", serverSide="wiseowl5.roboticraft.Proxies.CommonProxy")
    public static CommonProxy proxy;

    public static CreativeTabs creativeTab = new ModCreativeTab();

    public static int steamParticleID = 49;

    @EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent e) {
        //Read config file, create blocks/items and register them
        Minecraft.getMinecraft().effectRenderer.registerParticle(steamParticleID, new ParticleSteam.Factory()); //Crash report points here

        ModFluids.initFluids();

        ModItems.initItems();
        ModBlocks.initBlocks();

        GameRegistry.registerWorldGenerator(new ModWorldGen(), 3);
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent e) {
        //build data structures, add new handlers
        ModRecipes.initRecipes();

        proxy.registerGuiHandler();
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent e) {
        //Communicate with other mods
    }
}

I'm going to say that Minecraft#effectRenderer is not initialized when you are calling the registerParticle method. Try some other ones like init or postInit.

[Awesome_Spider]

Ok, will do.

 

On another topic, does the edit button for editing your posts show up for you anymore? I think they are changing stuff again.
