the wiki says "this.texture", but when I do that it says it can't be resolved to a type.

can anyone help?

 

sorry about the grammar

If it can't be resolved to a variable that means you don't declare the object "texture" in the current class (this)

 

String texture = null;
Integer texture = null;
Object texture = null;

 

Depending on the usage, any of those should fix the type problem, but if you don't set it to anything you will encounter NPEs.

 

Seriously though, if you don't know all of this already, go learn java.

but will it actually load the texture on the mob

 

(and btw, I do know java, I just don't have any experience yet)

It will if you define a proper path to the texture file. Read some of the other threads on 1.6 mob rendering for more information on that.
