(Behr) Display entities via schematics & interpolation

[somber oxide]

I'm looking to display a full schematic as a preview before pasting with display entities; do i have to create a display entity for every single block or can i just display the entire schematic?

kind of like this except display entities

I think every single block

(Behr) Display entities via schematics & interpolation

actually had another question too, im not figuring out how to handle the interpolation of the block entities at all; i've tried adjusting their velocity but i forgot they dont tick, i've tried pushing them but they just teleport to my location and their translation rotation just gets all botched, and i can teleport them but it's still just as choppy as teleporting entities - wanted a smoother transition without repeating all of these

[ember heron]

I think you would need to kill and re-spawn them on different locations

wouldnt that be very performance heavy?

or does teleporting have the same efficiency?

[raven peak]

Smoothest way to teleport them is to mount them to a living entities ala an armor stand

it’s definitely more on the performance heavy end though than just display entities

If you’re just moving then in a smaller area though why not just use translation?

[somber oxide]

i'm trying to move them in relation to where my cursor is, like in my clip - but im not sure how to move them smoothly with interpolation on the translation after they already exist

i'd adjust the translation alone to move it around but if im not looking at where it actually is, it'll unrender

[raven peak]

Yeah that was what I was afraid of

Sadly the origin doesn’t move with the translation

If you just want the display entities to move smoothly while teleporting, mounting is the way

[somber oxide]

you did just give me the idea though, i could try to teleport it if their yaw is too far away from their origin instead of the translation adjustment

[raven peak]

I wonder if you could do a hybrid approach to teleport when the movement was too far but otherwise use translation?

[somber oxide]

jinx you owe me a soda

[raven peak]

Great minds lol

[somber oxide]

ill try this out in a bit, i cant seem to figure out what the yaw difference is that it unrenders at

thankss
