Render a Entity

[Turakar]

Hi,

I would like to render a entity (not a LivingEntity), but i don't know how. Also google couldn't really help and Minecraft src is with par1, func_8843_a, etc just bad.

So can sou find some documentation about this?

It would also be ok, if i can turn off the default moving of an EntityLiving.

Research Tile-entities my friend. They are the entities of the non living

[Turakar]

Thats not exact. TileEntities aren't living, but they are still not a real Entity (look at EntityMinecart). TileEntities are bound to a block. What I want is a moving thing, which is in Minecraft a Entity. I also want knockback and health, so a EntizyLiving comes in mind. The problem is, that they're spinning their head randomly, ehat i don't want.

Can you post the entire model file?

[Turakar]

The model works definetly, because i've got a TileEntity rendering with it for testing(some util classes i made).

Ok, but the animation code is done in the model file. So, if its head is moving, it's the model file that does that

OK, but how can I turn this off? (I'm using RenderLiving)

Here's my model file:

package mods.DroneMod.src.turakar.render.models;

import net.minecraft.client.model.ModelBase;
import net.minecraft.client.model.ModelRenderer;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;

public class DroneModel extends ModelBase
{
  //fields
    ModelRenderer droneBase;
    ModelRenderer droneLeftWing;
    ModelRenderer droneRightWing;
  
  public DroneModel()
  {
    textureWidth = 64;
    textureHeight = 32;
    
      droneBase = new ModelRenderer(this, 0, 0);
      droneBase.addBox(-3F, 0F, 0F, 6, 1, 1);
      droneBase.setRotationPoint(0F, 16F, 0F);
      droneBase.setTextureSize(64, 32);
      droneBase.mirror = true;
      setRotation(droneBase, 0F, 0F, 0F);
      droneLeftWing = new ModelRenderer(this, 20, 0);
      droneLeftWing.addBox(-2F, 0F, 0F, 4, 1, 1);
      droneLeftWing.setRotationPoint(0F, 16F, 1F);
      droneLeftWing.setTextureSize(64, 32);
      droneLeftWing.mirror = true;
      setRotation(droneLeftWing, 0F, 0F, 0F);
      droneRightWing = new ModelRenderer(this, 20, 0);
      droneRightWing.addBox(-2F, 0F, 0F, 4, 1, 1);
      droneRightWing.setRotationPoint(0F, 16F, -1F);
      droneRightWing.setTextureSize(64, 32);
      droneRightWing.mirror = true;
      setRotation(droneRightWing, 0F, 0F, 0F);
  }
  
  public void render(Entity entity, float f, float f1, float f2, float f3, float f4, float f5)
  {
    super.render(entity, f, f1, f2, f3, f4, f5);
    setRotationAngles(f, f1, f2, f3, f4, f5);
    droneBase.render(f5);
    droneLeftWing.render(f5);
    droneRightWing.render(f5);
  }
  
  private void setRotation(ModelRenderer model, float x, float y, float z)
  {
    model.rotateAngleX = x;
    model.rotateAngleY = y;
    model.rotateAngleZ = z;
  }
  
  public void setRotationAngles(float f, float f1, float f2, float f3, float f4, float f5)
  {
    super.setRotationAngles(f, f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, null);
  }

}

  }

}

 

Hmm, I was expecting rotation code, but tehre wasn't any.

However, there is one bug in Techne, it misses a few Entity references that you need to add. 4 in total, I added them in the code above with a - infront of them. That may fix it- give it a try.

[Turakar]

Added - no improve

 

I think this part is done in EntityLiving. If you want, you may give it a look.

[Turakar]

Finally, i got it. 

 

The trick is, that minecrafft is using two types of AI (an old one and a new one). The old one has at default a random "wander around" feature which you cant really turn off. The new AI does by default nothing, and that's exactly what i wanted. In order to enable the new AI, you have to add the following lines to your Entity class:

@Override
public boolean isAIEnabled() {
    return true;
}
