Texture swapping / texture animation

Hi!

Can someone help me with a script that swaps texture every 5-10 secomd.
There are some scripts that rotates the textures or change the textures when clicked, but i need one that changes textures automaticly.

I have searched, but failed in finding one.

It should be fairly simple to make one that just cycles through all the textures in the object's inventory. Keep a number (a global integer) which stores what the current inventory texture number is. We'll increment this each time round.

When your script starts, set a timer event, using llSetTimerEvent(), for however often you want the texture to change. In the timer event itself, increment your texture number from above, and check it against the number of textures in the inventory, using llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE)... if it's reached that number, reset it to zero. Get the current texture name using llGetInventoryName(), and apply that to your object using llSetTexture().


I hope that makes sense. One thing to be aware of though is if your texture changes happen too fast, then the textures might not fully download before they get changed.

Yes, this make sense, but i'm not a scripter so i'm not sure how to go about it. Maby i can copy parts from some scripts, to make it work. I have some experience in programming, but LSL is a whole new world. Thanks for the help!

I would suggest searching through the script library for items that would help you create the script you want.

Otherwise, you might want to post in a Products-Wanted type forum where I'm sure many would be happy to make you a script like the one you want (whether or not they charge you is up to them).

This particular forum is more about offering tips with actual code than about giving finished code blocks to the persons who ask for them

There are three places to look for scripts that you can learn from:

(1) the Scripting Library at /15/1.html

(2) the LSL Wiki Script Library at http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=ScriptLibrary

(3) the archives of this forum, accessible from the "Search This Forum" tab at the right hand side (top) of the forum's main page.

I'm just learning too, and I find the scripts that people post in those three places VERY helpful.

You can get a free slide viewer script that does this from any number of places, including the box of free useful stuff at my store in Shona.

And to start yourself off on the right foot....
Download and install LSLEditor which is free and created by one of our very own.

Code highlighting, built in ref wiki, formatting, syntax checking and has the ability to test most of the functions out of world. This coupled with your previous coding xp and the links already provided should help a lot.

Thanks for all the help. You have all been very kind, but i give up,

@ Goliat,

LOL, What? Using the SLURL in my sig to my shop, and going there to get a free copy was too hard for you? http://slurl.com/secondlife/Shona/60/220/30

The slide viewer does exactly what you asked for, changes textures every X seconds and you can write in however many seconds you want.
