Rendering a line between Player and Projectile (1.10.2)


TypicalNerdB

Recommended Posts

I want to render a line between the player and projectile so when the projectile is "thrown" there is a line that connects it to the player until it hits something/dies. I have no idea where I would put this, or how I would go about drawing the actual line. I'm guessing the line needs to be updated every tick so that it keeps rendering to the projectile as it moves, but other than that I have no clue.

Not just every tick, every render frame!

And you do this with OpenGL commands. Look at how Vanilla handles the fishing rod.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

		double doubleX = mc.thePlayer.prevPosX + (mc.thePlayer.posX - mc.thePlayer.prevPosX) * event.getPartialTicks(); 
		double doubleY = mc.thePlayer.prevPosY + (mc.thePlayer.posY - mc.thePlayer.prevPosY) * event.getPartialTicks();

		GL11.glTranslated(-doubleX, -doubleY, -doubleZ);
		GL11.glColor3f(2f, 1f, 0f);

		GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
		GL11.glHint( GL11.GL_LINE_SMOOTH_HINT, GL11.GL_NICEST );
		GL11.glBegin(GL11.GL_LINE_STRIP);
		
		GL11.glVertex3d(px, py, pz);
		GL11.glVertex3d(vx, vy, vz);

		GL11.glEnd();
		GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_LIGHTING);
		GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
		GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_DEPTH_TEST);
		GL11.glPopMatrix();
		}
	}
}

  

So i got a working line being rendered, however it doesnt render to the projectile, it only renders inside the player from feet to head like this:

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? My guess is I'm getting the projectile incorrectly. Thanks for helping out.

 new EntityLassoWhip(mc.thePlayer.getEntityWorld(), mc.thePlayer);

Are you intentionally making a new entity every render tick?

Do you want this code to run if you have the armor on OR run if you have the armor on AND have thrown a lassoWhip

When its thrown aswell, however i couldnt figure out how to check that.

do you have an entity set up for your EntityLassoWhip that can be thrown/shot?

if so, have you set up a renderer for it?

The EntityLassoWhip is a projectile that works perfectly so yeah. The Lasso item "Throws" the projectile when its rightclicked.

set up a renderer for it and in that renderer connect it to it's thrower

 

Ill have to check this but I think that throwers aren't properly synced between server & client for some reason

I already have a render class for the projectile, what do you mean by connect it to its thrower?

in that render class just do your OpenGL commands that draw a line between the entity and it's thrower

Thank you so much! it works, it follows the projectile. Just one question, do you know how I can possibly edit how the line looks in first person, because it looks way off.image.png.a334115111479b4e227a5368b6c1fae1.png

I wanna try to make it so that it shows its kind of coming from the item, but if its just not possible then i guess ill have to get used to it.

mc.thePlayer.getPos() returns the position of the bottom of your feet.

translate it up on the Y axis by something like 1.6 to make it start around your eye/camera's height
