Hey all,

 

I'm a developer from Bukkit/Spout who wanted to try out Forge, and I had a few questions.

 

First of all, how do you get a living entity that is in your line of sight? (in your target)  I was able to do it in bukkit by getting all the blocks in the line of sight and all the nearby entities in a range, and determining if the entities are within one block of the line of sight.  I found the player.getLookVec(), but I'm not sure if that's what I want.  Additionally, I found worldObj.getEntitiesAABB or soemthing like that, but I'm not sure how to use that at all.

 

Also, how do you move blocks such as I have seen where some mods pick up and move blocks (ex: Tornado mod, portal mod)

 

Finally, how do you make a block always face you when you place it?  I know it has to do with meta-data, but when I did it it doesn't seem to do anything, so I probably missed something.

 

EDIT: Also, can someone tell me/point me to a tutorial on how to generate structures in the world?  I know how to do ores, but was hoping to do structures as well.

 

Thanks

Hey there, welcome to forge, hope you wont be leaving soon

 

1

client side:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().objectMouseOver

 

this contains whatever the player is pointing at

 

(oh btw i shouldnt told you, here in forge you have to deal with client/server side, but the advantage are worth it)

 

 

2 how to move blocks, well for the tornado i can imagine that the tornado itself is an "entity" (which btw with forge you can create your own) i guess it has a random chance to set a block to air and "pick up" the block (using entity rendering, you would render the block floating in the air but it probably wouldnt be collidable)

 

3 honestly the tutorial about metadata is pretty complete, try to play around with it and you should figure it out easy

 

ps: the tutorial will teach you a lot. try to look there first if you have a question because usually you can find the answer

      Game freezes then crashes upon entering server after i used a far-away waystone. (BMC4)

      By Cledd · Posted

      log: https://mclo.gs/QJg3wYX as stated in the title, my game freezes upon loading into the server after i used a far-away waystone in it. The modpack i'm using is better minecraft V18. Issue only comes up in this specific server, singleplayer and other servers are A-okay. i've already experimented with removing possible culprits like modernfix and various others to no effect. i've also attempted a full reinstall of the modpack profile. Issue occurs shortly after the 'cancel' button dissapears on the 'loading world' section of the loading screen.   thanks in advance.

      Model and textures rendered on entity and RenderLevelStageEvent not visible when using shaders

      By Blatopebas · Posted

      Hi, this is my second post with the same content as no one answered this and it's been a long time since I made the last post, I want to make a client-only mod, everything is ok, but when I use shaders, none of the textures rendered in RenderLevelStageEvent nor the crow entity model are rendered, I want them to be visible, because it's a horror themed mod I've already tried it with different shaders, but it didn't work with any of them and I really want to add support for shaders Here is how i render the crow model in the CrowEntityRenderer<CrowEntity>, by the time i use this method, i know is not the right method but i don't think this is the cause of the problem, the renderType i'm using is entityCutout @Override public void render(CrowEntity p_entity, float entityYaw, float partialTick, PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource bufferSource, int packedLight) { super.render(p_entity, entityYaw, partialTick, poseStack, bufferSource, packedLight); ClientEventHandler.getClient().crow.renderToBuffer(poseStack, bufferSource.getBuffer(ClientEventHandler.getClient().crow .renderType(TEXTURE)), packedLight, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, Utils.rgb(255, 255, 255)); } Here renderLevelStage @Override public void renderWorld(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { horrorEvents.draw(e); } Here is how i render every event public void draw(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { for (HorrorEvent event : currentHorrorEvents) { event.tick(e.getPartialTick()); event.draw(e); } } Here is how i render the crow model on the event @Override public void draw(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { if(e.getStage() == RenderLevelStageEvent.Stage.AFTER_ENTITIES) { float arcProgress = getArcProgress(0.25f); int alpha = (int) Mth.lerp(arcProgress, 0, 255); int packedLight = LevelRenderer.getLightColor(Minecraft.getInstance().level, blockPos); VertexConsumer builder = ClientEventHandler.bufferSource.getBuffer(crow); Crow<CreepyBirdHorrorEvent> model = ClientEventHandler .getClient().crow; model.setupAnim(this); RenderHelper.renderModelInWorld(model, position, offset, e.getCamera(), e.getPoseStack(), builder, packedLight, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, alpha); builder = ClientEventHandler.bufferSource.getBuffer(eyes); RenderHelper.renderModelInWorld(model, position, offset, e.getCamera(), e.getPoseStack(), builder, 15728880, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, alpha); } } How i render the model public static void renderModelInWorld(Model model, Vector3f pos, Vector3f offset, Camera camera, PoseStack matrix, VertexConsumer builder, int light, int overlay, int alpha) { matrix.pushPose(); Vec3 cameraPos = camera.getPosition(); double finalX = pos.x - cameraPos.x + offset.x; double finalY = pos.y - cameraPos.y + offset.y; double finalZ = pos.z - cameraPos.z + offset.z; matrix.pushPose(); matrix.translate(finalX, finalY, finalZ); matrix.mulPose(Axis.XP.rotationDegrees(180f)); model.renderToBuffer(matrix, builder, light, overlay, Utils .rgba(255, 255, 255, alpha)); matrix.popPose(); matrix.popPose(); } Thanks in advance
