how to make blinking stars in a picture

I have a picture (texture on a prim) on which i would like to add blinking star in the sky.

I suppose i need a script for it .... does anyone know where to get it?

Or are those jewelry-blibk scripts suitable for it?

what you can do is kinda like a pic like a .gif but a sl version, i cant think of what the event is right now but it is a type of texture animation.

ill look in my scripts once i get on or im me in sl and ill give you an example


EDIT:

default
{
  state_entry()
  {
    llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON | LOOP, ALL_SIDES,0,X,1,0,Z);
   }
}

x = how many pics you have
Z = Speed

the other method I sugested in your other thread of a second single layer containing only the bliking stars (the rest alpha) you would manipulate the transparency of the new layer like so

integer vBooOff;

default{
  state_entry(){
    llSetTimerEvent( 3.0 );//-- change to suit your speed
  }

  timer(){
    llSetAlpha( vBooOff = !vBooOff, ALL_SIDES );
  }
}

the first method is probably better, especially with different stars blinking in different 'frames'.

You could do that with a particle script, place an invisible prim at the locations where you want the blinking star to be. I have a jewelry particle script that does this I can send you if you send me an IM.

another suggestion was made in the other forum with a similar threadt that I liked... create transparent spots on the main image for the twinkling stars and run another animated texture behind it, with patches of white, as they scroll behind it they'll create a (possibly cascading) twinkle, similar to some of the waterfall pictures seen in some Asian restaraunts... they were big in the seventies. to avoid alpha sorting problems the background animated patch should be centered on the same prim but slightly smaller
