Bro, you just ended my pain. I spent almost 10 days in making some animations for the original Geckolib and then realized the version it works on is not in the archive. I got so depressed that I just deleted Mcreator, now I'm back in business and I will write your name as a major helper in making my mod. and btw can you please make it so i can use it for versions newer than 1.16.5? that will really help bro
Followed the plugin to a T, animations are named without the animation.[modelname] (e.g. walk), the procedure is written correctly, and animation and geo files are in the correct folders. Upon regenerating/opening the code/entity, it gives me this error:
"Your workspace contains mod elements that don't compile properly.
This was most likely caused by the last mod element you added or edited. Try altering the settings of mod elements..."
It says the issue is with the [modelname]Model procedure.
If you need pictures of my workspace I'll be happy to provide them. Amazing plugin by the way!
Soo.. I'm using 2022.3, and I don't know if it was fixed in 2022.4, but anyways. In the animations settings in the blockbench, one of them is set the looping scheme of the animation, if it should loop, stop on the end or simply play the animation once. Well.. the plugin doesn't really respect that scheme and no matter what I chose, the plugin only play the animation once and that's it (I say that for animated blocks). Also a suggestion, you should add a block that plays the animations and pauses the script, like, play the animation until the end then continue the procedure script (like a pause)
This is super helpful! However, I have run into an issue which I can't seem to fix.
I'm using a procedure to have an entity launch upwards, and play an animation while doing so, but the launch animation isn't working right.
When I spawn the entity, it plays the launch animation immediately. When the procedure does run, the animation has a completely random delay. I have no idea what is causing this, so any help would be appreciated.
I found the problem. It turns out that I misplaced the animation and geo files for one of my entities. It should work now.
