Hi,

 

I want to change between two models for an entity I have, depending on whether or not it is being ridden. I was thinking of something like an if(isBeingRidden) statement inside the entity's Model class to change the model, but this is an EntityType, not an EntityModel, method.

 

I tried to see how Minecraft does it (let's say for a Zombie attacking) but as of now, I can't access any vanilla Entity or Render class. I did notice the use of DataParameters in Entity classes; and thus used one to store and update whether or not my entity is being ridden. I'm not sure how, and where to use it, though.

 

Thanks,

I've sorted myself out so I'm answering this in order for this thread to be closed.

 

All I had to do was to create a boolean isMounted in my entity's model class, and call the doRender() method in my entity's renderer class; where inside I would have checked if the entity isBeingRidden() and change the isMounted boolean accordingly within doRender().

 

Example:

	public void doRender(ScorpionEntity entity, double x, double y, double z, float entityYaw, float partialTicks) {
		boolean state = entity.isBeingRidden();
		ScorpionModel<ScorpionEntity> scorpion = this.getEntityModel();
		scorpion.isMounted = state;

		super.doRender(entity, x, y, z, entityYaw, partialTicks);
	}

Works like a charm
