1.11 Render Bug

[Heltrato 1]

Im trying to render a lightning effects around Kirin just like in the monster hunter series by using light with a lenght popping in a random.

 

But i manage to make it work however the lightnings length is endless like in the picture.. Anyone can guess what's my error here?

Without seeing the code your errors are almost endless.

Maybe your numbers are too big, try making them smaller. A way to find out the proper numbers would be to use set numbers instead of making it random like you are now.

Can you give me a guess on what specific parameter it is ? HAHA i tried some of my variables and nothing happened

I'm thinking boltSize and steps. Also dont call GL methods directly use GLStateManager and also use the variables instead of

There are down times on here as well as anywhere else. I don't work on the forums I just know my way around the API somewhat, so I spend some of my down time helping other modders.

If your trying to render lightning I think you will find this useful.

https://github.com/Cadiboo/WIPTechAlpha/blob/master/src/main/java/cadiboo/wiptech/client/ClientUtil.java#L634-L746

(the renderLightning method)

I copied the rendering for lightning in minecraft and made all the variable names make sense & redid a bit of the code. Feel free to look at or use it
