Hi,

 

I'm experiencing a problem with my TESR not rendering when looking in certain direction(Overridden render function not running). I'm writing a Stargate mod and my OBJ model is rendered via VBOs. It takes up space of 9x9 blocks(vertically) with the "base block" at the bottom-center of it. I've even tried to return INFINITE_EXTENT_AABB in getRenderBoundingBox() but it changes nothing. Please help.

 

StargateBaseTile.java

package mrjake.aunis.stargate.blocks.sgbase;

import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.util.ITickable;
import net.minecraft.util.math.AxisAlignedBB;
import net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos;

public class StargateBaseTile extends TileEntity {
	@Override
	public AxisAlignedBB getRenderBoundingBox() {
		// return new AxisAlignedBB(new BlockPos(-6, 0, -6), new BlockPos(7, 12, 7));
		// return super.getRenderBoundingBox().expand(12, 12, 12);
		return INFINITE_EXTENT_AABB;
    	}
	
	@Override
	public NBTTagCompound writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) {
		return super.writeToNBT(compound);
	}
	
	@Override
	public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) {
		super.readFromNBT(compound);
	}
}

I find more code irrevelant but if you need something please ask.

getRenderBoundingBox()

You need to offset your bounding box to the coordinates of your te. You can see this in the super of getRenderBoundingBox

Yeah... But this even happens with

@Override
public AxisAlignedBB getRenderBoundingBox() {
	return INFINITE_EXTENT_AABB;
}

while I think infinite box means it should render all the time...

This is true, but you should know about the offset for when you switch back to your own AABB. You should try stepping through your code with a debugger at your getRenderBoundingBox. 

Oh, there is this misleading comment I left behind... I was offsetting my box of course. Sorry ;)

Not important but in the Series the gate has an diameter of 6.7m and an inner diameter of 5.0m. Just saying.

Also you could look at Stargate-Atlantiscraft a Stargate mod for 1.12.2 based on Greg's SGCraft.

Yes, but my gate will be made to look good in Minecraft and IMO SGCraft and even Lanteacraft gates(7x7) are little bit too small. In terms of code I got *some* inspirations of Greg's mod.

 

But enough offtopic I need my gate rendered.

There's a explanation by Animefan8888, may it helps (honestly I never used TESR, I've just started with modding so this is the only help I can give)

After 2 years I found a solution in the Beacon code. Here, If someone would still need it(Override it on a SpecialRenderer):

public boolean isGlobalRenderer(TileEntityBeacon te) {
        return true;
}
