I'm using this after default state entry:

llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON | SMOOTH | LOOP, ALL_SIDES, 0, 10, 1, 0, 2);


This isnt working.

First, it's animating only when I click and select the prim. Second, it's playing in steps rather than smoothly moving the texture at that time.

Am I totally barking up the wrong tree here? I just want the texture to move vertically and "loop" so it is in one continuous direction.

Thanks!

There's a demo 'smooth' animation script in the inventory Library that I rely on for water effects and such. (^_^)y

From: LSL wiki
It can be used for scrolling smoothly from one end of a texture to another. To do this set Y frames to 1, and set X frames to a value which sets the proportion of the texture which will be seen at any one time. To avoid over-running the end of the texture and repeating at the end of the loop, set length to one less than the number of X frames and start to zero.

- for smooth scrolling in the vertical direction on a prim, simply use the Texure tab on the Edit window to rotate the texture +/- 90 degrees, and the animation will follow.

For example:
llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON | SMOOTH | LOOP, ALL_SIDES, 10, 1, 0, 9, 2)

might work better, once you rotate the texture. (I just picked up the "10" from your command; the best value to use is of course dependent on the texture and the prim).

On a hollow object, how do you get the scale of the animated texture inside to match the scale of the animated texture outside?

Use two textures. You can't change the overall scale of an animated texture. :(

for smooth anims, set the repeats the way you want them in the edit window. then for the X and Y sizes in the script, set them to 0, and it should retain the repeats, offsets don't work though

formula for hollow texture repeats/offsets
09-07-2009 06:03
there is a hidden section on all hollows (except spheres/torii IIRC) this formula should give you the correct settings for repeats/offsets

100 / Hollow * desiredRepeats = HorizontalRepeats

HorizontalOffset = ((HorizontalRepeats - desiredRepeats ) + (desiredRepeats % 2 !=0)) / 2

(yes I know the offsets are worthless in this case, but someone is bound to ask)
