[Solved?] How can i change an entity texture depending on the entity health

[lament isle]

Basically i want to make an entity have the same damaged texture as iron golem did

Never found anyone ask for it.

So why dont I...

Eh wait a min.. Should i put it at #1067869022273667152?

@lament isle you have to use query.health in the render controller

{
  "format_version": "1.8.0",
  "render_controllers": {
    "controller.render.iron_golem_cracks": {
      "arrays": {
        "textures": {
          "Array.cracks": [
            "Texture.cracked_high",
            "Texture.cracked_med",
            "Texture.cracked_low",
            "Texture.cracked_none"
          ]
        }
      },
      "geometry": "Geometry.default",
      "textures": [ "Array.cracks[math.clamp(query.health / 25, 0, 3)]" ]
    }
  }
}```

How does this work? Can u like explain a lil bit to me..
(im domb)

[night heron]

What part?

[lament isle]

The math.clamp

[night heron]

So iron golem has a health value of 100

[lament isle]

mhm

[night heron]

If you divide that by 25

It turns to 4

[lament isle]

ok...

What thats 4 for?

[night heron]

The number of textures that you're going to be using

The array helps with adding those 4 textures

[lament isle]

So it gonna use texture.cracked_none?

[night heron]

Yeah so that's the regular iron golem texture

[lament isle]

Oh ok
What about the 0 and 3?

[night heron]

0 is texture.cracked_high

3 is texture.cracked_none

[lament isle]

hm..

[night heron]

So look at the texture list

The array always starts as a value of 0

[lament isle]

Oooh so its 0 first

[night heron]

math.clamp(value, min, max) = Clamp value to between min and max inclusive

[lament isle]

mhm

[night heron]

yes, but the formula makes it start at 3, because 100/25 = 4th texture

and as the health goes down, the 3 goes to 2 then 1 and 0 below or at a health value of 25

[lament isle]

ohh oke ok

[night heron]

good to go?

[lament isle]

Alr

Thx

[night heron]

@lament isle let me know if you have questions

[lament isle]

One last question*maybe
How can I apply this to mob that have variant as example shulker
*its dyable

[night heron]

Let me see your custom mob entity file

Also send me a picture of your mob

We may need to create a custom material for this

[lament isle]

Its the shulker entity file
Im making some improvements pack(kinda)

[night heron]

Hmm I think it would be a bit tricky with the shulker because it has several textures, you may need to add an overlay texture to optimize it

[lament isle]

How can I achieve that?

[night heron]

Can you show me the shulker entity file
