[1.10.2] PotionEffect adding model to entity ?

[MCRaichu]

Hi everyone,

I want to add a model I have made to entities while they are under a potioneffect. Currently I don't know where to start . Has anyone tried this before? Any tips where to start? For better understanding, I want to create a crystallization disease that creates tiny crystals on the infected entity.

 

Thanks in advance,

McRaichu

	@SubscribeEvent
	public void onEvent(RenderLivingEvent.Post<EntityLivingBase> event)
	{
		EntityLivingBase entity = event.getEntity();
		RenderLivingBase renderer = event.getRenderer();
		ModelBase model = renderer.getMainModel();
		if(entity instanceof EntityCreeper)
		{
			ModelCreeper mr = (ModelCreeper)model;
			ModelRenderer box = new ModelRenderer(model, 0, 16);
			box.addBox(0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 10, 2, 10);
			mr.body.addChild(box);
		}
	}

 

I did a small test-code. I love the idea of adding to the model because the added parts move with the entity. But the problem is, I have no idea how to set a different texture for my added parts. is it even possible?

You have to bind your texture like you normally would.

I may have to ask you to get a bit more specific. My understanding was to simply change the model and assign new texture (straight forward).

EntityLivingBase entity = event.getEntity();
RenderLivingBase renderer = event.getRenderer();
ModelBase model = renderer.getMainModel();
if(entity instanceof EntityCreeper)
{
  ModelCreeper mr = (ModelCreeper)model;

  renderer.bindTexture(new ResourceLocation(Gunny.MODID+ ":textures/items/models/vss_item.png"));

  ModelRenderer box = new ModelRenderer(model, 0, 16);
  box.addBox(0.0F, -20.0F, 0.0F, 10, 2, 10);
  mr.body.addChild(box);
}

Maybe I don't get when the event is called and what the difference of Pre and Post are in this case.

 

Edit: Currently the original creeper-texture is still used.

No, the creeper (just a placeholder in my example) should render as normal but the addition, here the "box", should render with a texture of my choice. Currently the box renders with the creeper-texture.

okay. to answer all you questions.

1.: the code i posted is in the onEvent(RenderLivingEvent.Post<EntityLivingBase> event) function as shown in Post 4

2.: As mentioned in the first post, I want to add something to any entity that is under a potioneffect. The code I posted, with creeper and the box I add, is just for testing.

3.: Using the model makes it easier to adjust the position of what i add, but with a global model that's not possible.

You must add it once at startup from your client proxy,

Wouldn't that require that I know all models when my mod is loaded? That would make it incompatible with other mods (their entities), right? In your experience, what would be your approach to achieve a kind of visual feedback to differentiate between affected entities and unaffected ones. Maybe I should consider a different idea. I just don't like the particle effects of the potions, I wanted something more solid/bigger.

Looping over all Renderes in PostInit makes sence. I don't have time until sunday to give it a try. May have more question on monday meaning I may bother you again . Thanks again.
