I have a very long texture for an object. I wish to animate the texture such that only a portion of the texture is visible at any one time. So for example the surface of the object shows only 10% of the texture, and over time the entire texture passes through that 10% window.
I thought from reading the documentation that the answer is to use llSetTextureAnim, and use the frame settings to break the texture into chunks. So if I set the x-frame value to 10 and the y-frame to 1, then I should have 10 frames and I will only see 10% of the texture at a time.
But as far as I can see this has no effect at all. At all times I see the entire texture on the surface of the object, and the entire texture moves along it. So, what am I doing wrong? How do I do this?
Thanks

llSetTextureAnim( ANIM_ON | LOOP, ALL_SIDES, 1, 10, 0, 10, 1 );
Should do the trick... The 2nd 10 is the total number of pictures that you want shown...

Can it be random?

This is something I need to do also - but I'd like to have a random 'frame' or section shown each time. Is it possible to introduce a random element to this type of script?
Randomising either the frame number displayed or the time taken between each change would work for me, whichever is easier. FYI, I'm trying to fake a LCD temperature display on a device - so that it would appear like the temperature was varying slightly over time.

using that function? no randomness... it can play forward back or 'ping-pong' between the ends though....
there are other ways to animated a framed sequence randomly, by using the texture offsets and scale, and setting them dynamicly, but they won't be as smooth or fast
