[Casual Dutchman]

use SetRotationAngles for this.

 

just do something like this in that methode:

this.shape.rotateAngleZ = 2.0F

 

You might wanna look into this section of the class.

just take a look at the ModelBiped.class and you'll figure it out!

The problem is the code you gave example for would only keep the blades at a fixed rotation.  To make the blades rotate, you want some method to know how many ticks have gone by.  You can do this with a custom counter (just count each render) or you can use the ticksExisted() method for the entity passed to the render.  I usually use the ticksExisted.

 

For pure rotation (like this case) you can probably just use a += to increase the angle each time but in the general case an animation needs some sense of time elapsed.

 

Note also that if you want the rotor to stop sometimes (like if the helicopter can land) then you'll need some boolean field or test to control the rotation -- i.e. only rotate if you know it is supposed to.

 

Anyway, my point is that for it to actually rotate you need to change the rotation in each render pass and that means you need some sense of progression via a counter or some sort.

[3izzo]

can you give an example code ?

[3izzo]

this.Shape19.rotateAngleY = 10.0F * par3 * par2 ;

this.Shape20.rotateAngleY = (10.0F * par3 * par2 )- 3f;

 

 

this is what have done it does the job for now
