I am trying to recreate certain games that i play in Minecraft, some of those games, have entities that "billboard" to the camera, i am pretty sure the ender pearl counts as an entity, i just need to know if there is any way to make an entity render as just a particle and not a model.

you can take a look at the snowball or egg or ender pearl entity rp as a example, they have the same geometry and render controllers

karmic matrix
#

like this :

"animations": {
  "my_anim": "animation.model.animation"
},
"scripts": {
  "animate": ["my_anim"]
},```

where do i put this

#

do i just insert it anywhere in here?

#

one last thing, if i use snowstorm and the effects tab to spawn a particle on an entity, will the particle move with the entity, or will it stay stationary?

karmic matrix
#

it will move with the entity only when it has local position on

hoary maple
#

ok thats perfect

#

and it will disappear what the entity dies?

yes

#

the animation is supposed to spawn a particle effect on the entity locator, it works in blockbench, but when i load it into the world, it doesnt work

karmic matrix
#

you'll have to include the particle effects too

#
"particle_effects": {
  "particle_name": "test:my_particle"
}```

hoary maple

karmic matrix
#

particle_name is changed to the name you gave it in effects, while test:my_particle is changed to your particle identifier

hoary maple
#

hoary maple
karmic matrix

and by symbols I mean you forgot to close them

#

the animations and particles are supposed to be after {}, not inside each other

hoary maple

#

try comparing it with your old code

hoary maple
karmic matrix
#

just use it

hoary maple
#

ok
