Animate Texture

I am animating a texture with:

llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON | LOOP | SMOOTH, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.5);

it works but it only animates my object as if it were rotating, say as if a staff laying down where being rolled across the ground.

How do I get the animation so that it animates from tip of staff to tip of staff ? so just changing the axis of the animation, i've tried messing with the parameters but can't seem to get it to work, Please help.

Thanks

The axis of animation isn't controlled via llSetTextureAnim(). Instead, rotate the texture with the building tool. You can also change the size just like a normal non-animating texture but keep in mind changing size will affect your animation's framerate.
