Hey guys... I don't know if I'm tired of looking at this, or what, but I need help with a simple change texture script.. without the random part.

I have an image... I also have it mirrored... both are in the prim... I want it to switch back and forth between the two, without a delay that the randon causes.. The script I have uses a random, and everytime I edit it even slightly, I break it... lol

Anyone have a simple one I can use? If at all possible, I also need a second prim to move in sinc with the first, doing the exact same thing. The speed I plan to use should make it pretty easy to sync, even withotu a special second script..

How it looks now, it doesn't flow.. it pauses on one of the 2 textures.. I also don't want it to have to re-rez with each change... Is that possible?


Thanks in advance for any help, it's HUGELY appreciated!

Wait a moment, do you want them to just flicker repeatedly?

pretty much... not as fast as a flame would tho... just switch fromone to the other and back again, on an endless loop... so it works like an animated gif.

This script may work...

CODE

key texture1 = ""; //Put the first image's UUID here
key texture2 = ""; //Put the second image's UUID here

float waittime = 0.2; //How long to wait before changing images

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		while ( TRUE )	//This is an infinite loop...
		{
			llSetTexture( texture1 , ALL_SIDES ); //Put up the first texture. Replace the ALL_SIDES with whatever side number you desire.
			llSleep( waittime ); //Wait before putting the next one up
			llSetTexture( texture2 , ALL_SIDES ); //Put up the second texture. Replace the ALL_SIDES with whatever side number you desire.
			llSleep( waittime ); //Wait before putting the next one up
		}
	}
}

Use this one! Use this one! Don't make an infinite loop! This one has the least impact on the server and client!

w00t! That's simply beautiful -- especially the script that converts animated GIFs into llSetTextureAnim()-ready Targa images! I'm so glad FlipperPS wrote it and that you posted about it.
