[1.12] [Solved] Adding Custom Particle Effects with Custom Texture

[GooberGunter]

So I've been looking around for tutorials on custom particles and I can't find any up-to-date tutorials or anything on the forge doc. So far from what I can tell, spawning custom particles is different from vanilla since the spawnParticle method relies on the actual EnumParticleTypeClass. 

 

Basically, what I want to do is, when I place down a block, that block starts to slowly emit a purple particle effect. I already have the particle class, I just don't know how to get the block's position (which I think is impossible) or how to set the particles to start spawning from the block

 

ParticleManu.java:

Spoiler

package com.ninja3659.explorationexpansion.client.particle;

import net.minecraft.client.particle.Particle;
import net.minecraft.client.particle.ParticleBubble;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.BufferBuilder;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.TextureAtlasSprite;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class ParticleManu extends ParticleBubble{

	
	public ParticleManu(World worldIn, double xCoordIn, double yCoordIn, double zCoordIn, double xSpeedIn,
			double ySpeedIn, double zSpeedIn) {
		super(worldIn, xCoordIn, yCoordIn, zCoordIn, xSpeedIn, ySpeedIn, zSpeedIn);
        this.setParticleTextureIndex(32);
        this.setRBGColorF(0x8A, 0x2B, 0xE2);
	}	
	

}

See how BlockFurnace does this.

Custom particles are a thing that is not easily done afaik. You either need to add an enum constant to the EnumParticleType using EnumHelper and register your particle factory for the particleID you specify in your enum constant or you need to build your own particle system from the ground.

[GooberGunter]

That's right, I completely forgot that furnaces emit particles

[GooberGunter]

So I looked at the furnace class and adapted the idea to Jabelar's tutorial on particles. All I need to figure out now is how to use my own texture

[GooberGunter]

From the looks of it, the textureAtlasSprite class, which is what loads the texture for particles, has a built in forge method that allows for custom textures. if I'm looking at this right, it's promising.

TextureAtlasSprite.class

    /*===================================== FORGE START =====================================*/
    /**
     * The result of this function determines is the below 'load' function is called, and the
     * default vanilla loading code is bypassed completely.
     * @param manager Main resource manager
     * @param location File resource location
     * @return True to use your own custom load code and bypass vanilla loading.
     */
    public boolean hasCustomLoader(net.minecraft.client.resources.IResourceManager manager, net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation location)
    {
        return false;
    }

    /**
     * Load the specified resource as this sprite's data.
     * Returning false from this function will prevent this icon from being stitched onto the master texture.
     * @param manager Main resource manager
     * @param location File resource location
     * @param textureGetter accessor for dependencies. All of them will be loaded before this one
     * @return False to prevent this Icon from being stitched
     */
    public boolean load(net.minecraft.client.resources.IResourceManager manager, net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation location, java.util.function.Function<ResourceLocation, TextureAtlasSprite> textureGetter)
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * @return all textures that should be loaded before this texture.
     */
    public java.util.Collection<ResourceLocation> getDependencies() {
        return com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList.of();
    }

    /*===================================== FORGE END ======================================*/
}

 

EDIT: It looks like I need a resource manager AND resource location. Sadly, I don't know how to do resource managers

Edited July 21, 2017 by GooberGunter

[GooberGunter]

I've gotten as far as the resource manager, but I don't know how to set up the resource manager.

Spoiler

public ParticleManu(World worldIn, double xCoordIn, double yCoordIn, double zCoordIn, double xSpeedIn,
			double ySpeedIn, double zSpeedIn) {
		super(worldIn, xCoordIn, yCoordIn, zCoordIn, xSpeedIn, ySpeedIn, zSpeedIn);
        this.setParticleTextureIndex(32);
        this.particleRed = 1;
        this.particleBlue = 1;
        this.particleGreen = 0;
        this.particleMaxAge = 100000;
		this.particleTexture.hasCustomLoader(manager, particleTex);//figure out the Resource Manager
	}

I'm not sure if you need to create your own IResourceManager for this(I don't really think you do, but I may be mistaken), but you can get a IResourceManager instance like so.

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getResourceManager();

 

[GooberGunter]

I tried that and it gave me the following null exception:

In the BlockManuCogBlockH class

Then I believe that your particleTexture field is null when you access it in your constructor.

[GooberGunter]

So it can't find the resource location? Or do I need to set the particleTexture first? If so how?

 

Edited July 21, 2017 by GooberGunter

[GooberGunter]

I'm not sure what I should set the particleTexture to

[V0idWa1k3r]

TextureAtlasSprite has nothing to do with particles. It is simply a 'pointer' to a location of a specific image on a texture sheet(or if we disassemble the name - it is a sprite of a texture atlas(aka map)). Forge just allows custom loading of your sprites with those methods. By default there is only 1 texture map in the game - the blocks+items textures map.

Particles have that field avaliable mostly for block/item crack/break particles, as they need to know what texture to be rendered with. This field is null for other particle types and theirt textureIndex determines their location on their texture map(default vanilla particles.png file).

If you need a custom texture for your particles you can return 1 in your Particle::getFXLayer to use the blocks+items map as your texture and then call Particle::setParticleTexture with a TextureAtlasSprite object that would point to your custom texture on the blocks map. You will need to load that texture yourself using TextureStitchEvent and TextureMap::registerSprite.

[GooberGunter]

The only TextureAtlasSprite object I have access to is the particle class one and I don't know what to do with it

TextureMap::registerSprite returns you a TextureAtlasSprite object. This method must be called during TextureStitchEvent.Pre

Edited July 22, 2017 by V0idWa1k3r

[GooberGunter]

So then what do I put in for setParticleTexture. And what about the regular stitch event?

 

Edited July 22, 2017 by GooberGunter

[V0idWa1k3r]

That TextureAtlasSprite object that you recieve as a result of this method. 

There is no regular stitch event. TextureStitchEvent has 2 sub-events - pre(as the map is being setup) and post(after everything was loaded in).

[GooberGunter]

OK so I'm only using pre, registering the sprite and then using the map.getAtlasSprite, but I don't have an icon name

[V0idWa1k3r]

No. registerSprite already returns you the TextureAtlasSprite object you need, there is no need to get it again.

[GooberGunter]

it returns it, but I don't know how to access that returned object

[V0idWa1k3r]

Erm... You store it in a field and get it from that field? You do know what fields are, yes?

[GooberGunter]

Haha, wow, I overthought that so much and blew it way out of proportion. It's always the simple stuff
