I have a cut torus and only want the inside-side texture moving. I've hacked the scripts to no avail. Is this possible? I can't find any info on this.
Probably cause I cant search properly.
Thanks team.

You just have to replace the ALL_SIDES parameter with the integer value of the side you want the texture on, which would be 0 - 3 for a profile or path cut torus, 0 being the outside (in case of a profile cut).

Try this, for example:
CODE
default 
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON | SMOOTH | LOOP, 1, 1, 1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5);
}
}


You can only animate either 1 side or all sides at once though, and a profile cut torus has two inside halfs. If you mean a path cut torus instead: in that case inside and outside are the same texture face, unless you add a profile cut. I'd rather use a hollow cylinder or a hollow sphere, dimpled on both sides. Or you could use 2 prims, hiding the outside of a torus with a larger torus.

Very good.

Thank you. It does the job.
I have a fairly tortured torus as a sculpture and now does what I wanted. Thanks again.
The last bit looks like this for me:
LOOP, 2, 1, 1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.15)
