So I want to have it where I check to see if a player is wearing a custom armor and if they are the armor uses a different texture then for all other players.

 

I tried this:

@Override
    public String getArmorTexture(ItemStack stack, Entity entity, int slot, String type)
    {
        if ((((EntityPlayer)entity).getDisplayName() == "SureShotM")) {
            Texture = Reference.MOD_ID + ":textures/armor/" + this.textureName + "_" + (this.armorType == 2 ? "4" : "3") + ".png";
        }
        else {
            Texture = Reference.MOD_ID + ":textures/armor/" + this.textureName + "_" + (this.armorType == 2 ? "2" : "1") + ".png";
        }
        return Texture;
    }

but it doesn't seem to work

First of all use .equals() and not == for comparing String.

Second: WHERE YOU DECLARED 'Texture' ????? AS STATIC FIELD??? OR WHERE???

I just searched through all the possible functions and I did run across the UUID, I was debating on using that but this is just a personal mod for a group of friends, so I will most likely use the username, since they wont change theirs ever. I'm debating on adding the names to a config so if they do decide to change there username they can just add the new one to the config. Again this is more of a debate on all of our ends to figure out what we want. Also Texture is being declared like this.

 

public class ArmorMianite extends ItemArmor
{
    public String textureName;
    public String Texture;
    public ArmorMianite(String unlocalizedName, ArmorMaterial material, String textureName, int type)
    {
        super(material, 0, type);
        this.textureName = textureName;
        setUnlocalizedName(unlocalizedName);
        this.setTextureName(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + unlocalizedName);
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabMianite.Mianite_Tab);
        this.setMaxStackSize(1);
    }
    @Override
    public String getUnlocalizedName()
    {
        return String.format("item.%s%s", Reference.MOD_ID.toLowerCase() + ":", getUnwrappedUnlocalizedName(super.getUnlocalizedName()));
    }
    @Override
    public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack itemStack)
    {
        return String.format("item.%s%s", Reference.MOD_ID.toLowerCase() + ":", getUnwrappedUnlocalizedName(super.getUnlocalizedName()));
    }
    @Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerIcons(IIconRegister iconRegister)
    {
        itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon(this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(this.getUnlocalizedName().indexOf(".") + 1));
    }
    protected String getUnwrappedUnlocalizedName(String unlocalizedName)
    {
        return unlocalizedName.substring(unlocalizedName.indexOf(".") + 1);
    }

    @Override
    public String getArmorTexture(ItemStack stack, Entity entity, int slot, String type)
    {
        if ((((EntityPlayer)entity).isInvisible())) {
            Texture = Reference.MOD_ID + ":textures/armor/" + this.textureName + "_" + (this.armorType == 2 ? "4" : "3") + ".png";
        }
        else {
            Texture = Reference.MOD_ID + ":textures/armor/" + this.textureName + "_" + (this.armorType == 2 ? "2" : "1") + ".png";
        }
        return Texture;
    }

 

Also if we decide to use the username how do I get the username instead of the display name, I am currently using the if player is invisible as a place holder.

Okay Thank you Thank you Thank you it is all working perfectly now.
