Problems with TESR

[Awakened Redstone]

I'm trying to make a beam TESR but it isn't working, and I see that is missing the call event.

 

Someone can help me?

What is the "String" that say to the TESR render the beam?

Source Code of my testing mod.

Define "Render beam".

public class RenderTestingBlock extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer<TileEntityTestingBlock>
{
    public static final ResourceLocation TEXTURE_BEACON_BEAM = new ResourceLocation("textures/entity/beacon_beam.png");

    public void render(TileEntityTestingBlock te, double x, double y, double z, float partialTicks, int destroyStage, float alpha)
    {
        this.renderBeam(x, y, z, partialTicks, destroyStage, te.getBeamSegments(), alpha);
    }

    public void renderBeam(double x, double y, double z, double partialTicks, double textureScale, List<TileEntityTestingBlock.BeamSegment> beamSegments, double totalWorldTime)
    {
        this.bindTexture(TEXTURE_BEACON_BEAM);
    }
}

As far as I can tell from your code, you are not doing anything to tell minecraft to render the beam. All you are doing is binding the textures.

You need to draw the beam yourself. An easy way to do it would be to draw a "rectangular" beam with 4 faces.

If you do not know how to start, you might want to look at how minecraft renders lightning.

What? Please elucidate. What do you mean by the "String"?

"String" is the code.
Like

public static final ResourceLocation .............

 With string I mean the code.

The definition of "String" is char[]; It does not means code. I would suggest you to change the habit of referring to code as String, as this might cause confusion in the future.

 

Apart from your render issue, some suggestions for your code:

1. "tools" and "util" are essentially the same thing, thus there is no need to create 2 separate packages.

2. You have 2 item packages. You only need one. Merge them.

3. Stop using ItemBase.

4. Stop using BlockBase.

5. Do not use static initializers.

Cadiboo made a post previously explaining the reasons: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/topic/68881-onblockactivated-not-being-called/?tab=comments#comment-332831

This model works, but the beam no... ?

[DavidM]

Right. According to your code on GitHub, you didn't add ANY code that does anything in terms of rendering a beam. Therefore, of course there is no beam, as code won't work if you don't actually write them down.

I got it working, but I want it on horizontal....

 

[Cadiboo]

Do you still have this problem? Knowing how to render stuff is required for rendering stuff. There are plenty of OpenGL tutorials on google. You should learn how to draw a cuboid with the BufferBuilder. Also, please read https://gist.github.com/Cadiboo/fbea89dc95ebbdc58d118f5350b7ba93

So, I'm trying to use a Model to make the beam, but I'm not getting the model to work...
