[1.12.2] Getting a TextureAtlasSprite object

[SaltStation]

Hello everyone.

I have been trying to set a custom texture for my particle, but I don't know how to get the TextureAtlasSprite required for setParticleTexture().

After some research I read that TextureMap.registerSprite() is supposed to return a TextureAtlasSprite but you have to use it in a TextureStitchEvent.Pre.

Dose anyone know how this works or if there is a different way to get a TextureAtlasSprite Object?

 

Thanks in advance.

What you described is the proper way to register a texture-sheet sprite that isn't used for a block or item.

If this is not the proper way to get a TextureAtlasSprite, do you know how to get one pointing at a custom location.

Uhm... it is the proper way...

Ok I still dont know how use the TextureStitchEvent.Pre how do you use it properly?

Ok my compiler tells me I cannot use .registerSprite(LOCATION) in a static context.

This might be a bit frustrating, but I dont know how to get to the TextureMap after I have subscribed to the EventBus.

I think I am doing something wrong.

I subscribed to the EventBus in my class and tryed to get the AtlasSprite with this method:

@SubscribeEvent
    public TextureAtlasSprite registerSprite(ResourceLocation location){
        return TextureMap.registerSprite(location);
    }

But .registerSprite is still used in a static context.
