oh yeah, it should be entity_alphatest as the default material

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 1:16 AM

#

ok thanks

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 1:35 AM

#

gloomy sable oh yeah, it should be `entity_alphatest` as the default material

so i applied the entity_alphatest and it doesnt show the part of the texture as seethrough even though i used an opacity of 55 on the model itself

gloomy sable Jul 12, 2023, 1:35 AM

#

try entity_alphablend

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 1:46 AM

#

yeah that didnt work either guess ill just have to go through each one till i find the one that works

#

i give up

native stratus Jul 12, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

verbal coyote i give up

"entityname": entity_alphatest": { "+states": [ "Blending" ]

#

Hope it helps

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 12:14 PM

#

native stratus ``"entityname": entity_alphatest": { "+states": [ "Blending" ...

I'll try that thanks

gloomy sable Jul 12, 2023, 12:18 PM

#

native stratus ``"entityname": entity_alphatest": { "+states": [ "Blending" ...

Isn’t this supposed to be in the 'entity.material'?

native stratus Jul 12, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

gloomy sable Isn’t this supposed to be in the 'entity.material'?

Yes, it's supposed to go in the .material file.

#

"entity_alphablend" works for the top layered transparent texture. But it renders objects/bones/cubes behind the transparent element(s) inconsistently.

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:08 PM

#

Wait I'm supposed to have a custom material file?

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

i have no clue how to make a material file

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:34 PM

#

verbal coyote i have no clue how to make a material file

It's very simple, go to your resource pack and create a folder named "materials" inside of this folder create a file named "entity.material". In this file, you will put the code that Fops gave you. This will allow you to reference "entityname" in your client entity file as a material.

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:35 PM

#

topaz parrot It's very simple, go to your resource pack and create a folder named "materials"...

ok thanks ive never messed with materials before so its new to me

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:36 PM

#

Well not exactly what Fops sent:

{
    "materials": {
        "version": "1.0.0",
        "entityname:entity_alphatest": {
            "+states": [
                "Blending"
            ]
        }
    }
}

#

verbal coyote ok thanks ive never messed with materials before so its new to me

Yeah, It is not advised that new devs work with materials. They can be hard to grasp and may cause crashes.

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:38 PM

#

been making models for a while just never really dived into the material aspect of things

#

only recently i wanted to experiment with making thinks like how the slime looks

#

anything special i have to do for the render controller?

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:39 PM

verbal coyote been making models for a while just never really dived into the material aspect ...

That's fine, most materials that you will need have already been created. https://wiki.bedrock.dev/documentation/materials.html

Bedrock Wiki

Vanilla Materials

This wiki is a knowledge-sharing website for Technical Bedrock, containing documentation, tutorials, and general how-to information.

#

verbal coyote anything special i have to do for the render controller?

That depends on how many materials you are using

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:40 PM

#

i just have a single texture

#

the drum tops i made an opacity of like 55

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:40 PM

#

Probably not then

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:40 PM

#

so i wanted the player to be able to see through them

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:41 PM

#

Just reference the default material in the controller and set the default material to the new material's identifier

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:41 PM

#

"materials": { "default": "entity_alphatest"}, so like that?

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

yes, but change entity_alphatest to your new material identifier

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

so where they had put entityname i give it its own new name

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

topaz parrot Well not exactly what Fops sent: ``` { "materials": { "version": "1....

You should recopy this, I copied this from fops and never noticed that they had made a mistake with the identifier

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

verbal coyote so where they had put entityname i give it its own new name

yes

#

Then you reference that name

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

and the render controller i just had set as default

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

Yes

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

ok thanks

#

ill do that now

#

how come crashes occur ?

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

If materials aren't written correctly, minecraft doesn't understand how to render the entity and the game crashes

#

A similar thing happens if you mess up badly enough with ui

You could also just try using the entity_alphablend material then

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

now i see why i never bothered 😅

#

overcomplicated for no reason

topaz parrot Jul 12, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

just change alakazam to entity_alphablend in materials (client entity file)

verbal coyote Jul 12, 2023, 11:00 PM

#

k ill try that it that dont work im just gonna give up

#

well i am done trying its not showing the layer on top of the drums. So its whatever at this point.
