conditionally render item based on their components

[civic meteor]

e.g if I have an item with a custom component on it, say is_frozen (boolean)

how do I render the item with texture a.png when the component turns false
and render with texture b.png when the component turns true

[high nexus]

use item model predicates which would be the easiest solution

[civic meteor]

yes it doesn't work, I don't know why...

and the predicate only accepts floats

I have tried passing boolean, but it only support floats (the log says)

[high nexus]

represent the boolean using a float

1, 0

the wiki example does that

I know... what about texts T_T

[civic meteor]

HEY THANK YOU SO MUCH

[high nexus]

do you have a finite number of texts?

[civic meteor]

finite number of text

yes

infinite is impossible tho

[high nexus]

then represent them as floats too

[civic meteor]

oh you mean arbitrary text content

yes you provide arbitrary text

but don't worry, instead of texts, I'll just use integers

there's also custom_model_data
