I need help with render comtrollers

[light tangle]

I'm making a Futuristic addon for mcpe where you can become an Android
I wanna make it so when you become an Android your skin texture changes I know you can do it with render controllers but idk how
Could someone drop a link to a video that explains or maybe a website
Thanks for the help

You can do it like this :

1. Give the player a detectable data using molang, for example variants or skin_id, entity_properties could also work.

2. Make a custom render_controller, can be inside any file.

3. Change the Texture.default to Texture.android (the android is your player skin texture).

4. In your player.entity.json file, inside the render_controllers put your custom render_controller when the player has the tag or data.
   Meanwhile inside the textures add your player texture path, like this : "android": "textures/entity/android_player"

OK thanks I'll give it a go

I want it to activate when it has the tag android
So it would be variable.has_tag = android
Right?

[fast patrol]

well, not exactly
you have to go to the player.json in the behavior pack and add a filter that detects when the player has a tag
after it detects, trigger an event that gives the player a component group when they have the tag

variable.has_tag wouldn't work here, i think

because you can only detect ingame tags using environment_sensor

OK np I'll just use variant
Tnx

Oh yh BTW is it possible to change the texture of my Croshair with render controllers

I think it is cuz I've seen it in a Resource pack before
I'd like to have it that when you become and android you have a different HUD too
