Script that spins texture, not prim?

I posted a problem I'm having with a flame script but didn't really get any help so I'm gonna try again....


I am trying to make a simple candle flame. The flame script I have makes the texture on the prim wick spin. I was just told by a scripter that I need a different type of script?

So, can someone please tell me where I can aquire a copy/trans script. Or, if anyone is interested, I would be willing a reasonable fee for someone to create if for me.

Please help!


Thanks,

Sol

I'm no expert with animating textures but I'll give it a stab.

Does your texture carry several frames? For the sake of example lets assume it has 5 horizontal frames and 1 vertical frame.

This is your script from before with all its original comments taken out and mine put in:

integer animOn = TRUE;
list effects = [LOOP]; // I have removed SMOOTH from here as this makes the frames slide past rather than step past.
integer movement = 0;

integer face = ALL_SIDES;
integer sideX = 5; // 5 horizontal frames
integer sideY = 1; // 1 vertaical frame
float start = 0.0;
float length = 0.0;
float speed = 10.0; // this is the speed or FPS (frames per second)


initAnim()
{
    if(animOn)
    {
        integer effectBits;
        integer i;

        for(i = 0; i < llGetListLength(effects); i++)
        {
            effectBits = (effectBits | llList2Integer(effects,i));
        }

        integer params = (effectBits|movement);
        llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON|params,face,sideX,sideY,start,length,speed);
    }

    else
    {
        llSetTextureAnim(0,face,sideX,sideY,start,length,speed);
    }
}


default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        initAnim();
    }
}

Without the flame texture you're using no one else can test this for you but it works for me on a ply-wood textured cube - looks rubbish as a candle flame though.

Thank you for your help! I will try it later and will let you know how it goes.

Also, thank you for the Wiki reference too!

Hi Pale,

Well, it didn't work. *sigh*

Thank you for your help though. = )

I have a circular rotation texture script that I can give you in world -- I am EST US if you want to hit me up after work

Hi CC, I managed to meet up with Solanghe last night. It turns out that the effect he was really wanting wasn't a rotating texture at all. The candle he wanted to duplicate was actually a particle system textured with a single-frame flame texture.

I have him on the right track now I think.
