Using:

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

I'd like to animate only two sides of a cube. Is there a way with the llSetTextureAnim command to, instead of saying 'ALL_SIDES', to put in the two sides?

I've experimented with various ways of saying I want both sides #1 and #2 to animate, but can't seem to figure it out, or find an answer in the Wiki. If I do two separate llSetTextureAnim commands on different lines, only the second one animates.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think there is currently a way to specify multiple sides of a prim other than ALL_SIDES. You'll have to use a new prim for each side you wish to animate. Luckily, llSetTextureAnim() puts no load on the sim past it's initialization and is then handled by the client, so feel free to make a few

Just an idea...

Use ALL_SIDES, but apply your animated texture to only the 2 sides of the prim you want to animate. As long as you use a solid color & blank texture for the other sides - you may get the effect you're looking for.

From: LSL Wiki

Also, only one animation can be run per prim, although all sides of a prim can be animated at the same time by setting side to ALL_SIDES.

Just can't be done at the moment which is strange from a practical point of view but I am sure if I thought hard enough about it I would see the logic to why..
