[Solved] Entity is invisible (Render doen't work)

[MaSch212]

Hey Guys,

 

I want to make a bow with special Arrows. I already written everything for it and it works fine but the Arrow is invisible.

I searched for help but I don't know why the Arrow is not rendered.

Here is some code:

 

Main Class:

 

@Mod(modid="Marc's AdvancedIC2", name="AdvancedIC2", version="1.0")
@NetworkMod(clientSideRequired=true, serverSideRequired=true)

public class AdvancedIC2 {
//Some Vars

@SidedProxy(clientSide="MyMod.client.ClientProxyMyMod", serverSide="MyMod.common.CommonProxyMyMod")
public static CommonProxyMyMod proxy;

@PreInit
public void PreInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
{
	//Some new Sounds
	//Some Config-Stuff
}

@Init
public void Init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
{
	proxy.registerRenderThings();
	//Item Registry, Recipies, ...
}

}

 

 

CommonProxyMyMod:

 

public class CommonProxyMyMod {
public void registerRenderThings() { }
}

 

 

ClientProxyMyMod:

 

public class ClientProxyMyMod extends CommonProxyMyMod {
@Override
public void registerRenderThings()
{
	//Preload Textures (they work fine)
	EntityRegistry.registerGlobalEntityID(EntityLaserArrow.class, "LaserArrow", EntityRegistry.findGlobalUniqueEntityId());
	RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityLaserArrow.class, new RenderLaserArrow());
}
}

 

 

I first thought that my Render class is not working but I tested it with "System.out.println()" so that I can see if the "doRender" method is called any time. And the result was that the "doRender" Method never called.

I made an entity recently too. Depending on what kind of entity you are making, the render parameters change. Try checking in the vanilla arrow files to see what it uses or look on the blaster rifle tutorial on the wiki for forge.

Yes I read the Tutorial on Forge Wiki and I've done everything.

And I copied the hole RenderArrow Class for testing but it is still not working.

you have no EntityRegistry.registerModEntity

[MaSch212]

you have no EntityRegistry.registerModEntity

 

Yes but I have "EntityRegistry.registerGlobalEntityID".

I don't really know the differences between "registerGlobalEntityID" and "registerModEntity".

Do I have to write both in the ClientProxy?

Or do I have to put them in another class?

Why do you register your entity client-side only? It needs to be registered for the server as well! Shove it out of your prxy directly in your main mod class.

Yes at first I put this into the Main class and then I saw a tutorial. They said that I have to put it into the ClientProxy. I didn't understand this

But this doesn't solve my problem

Can you post your render class?

    }

    @Override
    public void doRender(Entity par1Entity, double par2, double par4, double par6, float par8, float par9)
    {
    	System.out.println("DoRender startet!");
        this.renderArrow((EntityLaserArrow)par1Entity, par2, par4, par6, par8, par9);
    }
}

 

Like I said - I copied the hole code of RenderArrow.

you have no EntityRegistry.registerModEntity

 

Yes but I have "EntityRegistry.registerGlobalEntityID".

I don't really know the differences between "registerGlobalEntityID" and "registerModEntity".

Do I have to write both in the ClientProxy?

Or do I have to put them in another class?

You put registerModEntity in the same place as registerGlobalEntityID

 

registerGlobalEntityID gives the entity a unique id  (like in the older versions of minecraft if you pressed F3 you'dd see numbers above mobs heads)

registerModEntity actually tells the game their is an entity.

O_O OK that was actually the solution. I now put both into the PreInit in my Main Class and now I see the Arrow.

That is confusing

 

Thank you all for your help
