Ive been trying to create a custom projectile entity, and the entity kinda works, but i cant get it to render properly. It wont render at all.

 

My Classes:

Note, most of the entity code comes from the vanilla fireball

use the new registerEntityRenderingHandler that requires an entity type, and createSpawnpacket looks right

what new registerEntityRenderingHandler? im using this one "RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler" in my client setup class. is there another one?

same but different parameter:

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityType<T> entityClass, IRenderFactory<? super T> renderFactory)

 

@poopoodice do you have an example of how to use IRenderFactory?

You should be able to just use YourEntityRenderer::new for the render factory, I believe it will work just fine as long as you have a constructor for the renderer that takes an EntityRendererManager as a parameter.

@Ugdhar But its not working, if you look at my source code i did what you said

Never just say "it's not working" Be descriptive what is not working, and also provide your debug.log, preferably posted on an external site (like a github gist) and then linked to here. There could very well be a clue in the log as to what is going on.

 

*edit: also, having your code in a github repository is super helpful. If you are not familiar with it, google "getting started with github" or something similar, and figure it out, you will thank me I promise

@Ugdhar sorry, its been a day. here is a link to my repository all of the entity code is in the entities package, and the ClientSetup class is where client side stuff is registered

So is it throwing an error or crashing or something? You didn't share logs or explain what's going on

heres the log

the entity wont render, and most of the time im not even sure if my wand item is actually creating the entity. and occasionally ill get the message in chat of it hitting a certain block but not consistently.

Well, I have yet to mess with entities myself to be completely honest, I've only tinkered with a couple mobs so far.

I guess starting at the Wand part, where you have the item right click, what are those 2s for in the SpellBoltEntity constructor?

To begin with I'd start looking into that.

the 2s were just a constant acceleration for the entity. Most of the actual code for the projectile entity was taken from vanillas fireball code. They are used to calculate how quickly the entity should accelerate.

Well, by my guess, having all 2s will make it accelerate in all 3 directions at once (X/Y/Z) in the same direction every time, and not in the direction you are looking. Again, I haven't tried doing any of this myself as of yet, so this is just a guess.

 

You should take a look at the ghast entity maybe, and see how it launches the fireball. Just instead of in the direction of the player, have your code use the direction the player is looking.
