Hi there everyone. I'm building a Jacob's ladder type thing in a V shape and I need to figure how to have a changing bolt of lightning arc between the two and move up the V. So far i have a V shaped plane but if i put a texture on it and animate it in segments won't it play that texture on the whole plane? So i need a solution  Thank You |

I made a cheesy one a while back, but I slid the texture instead of a frame-by-frame.
Used a tapered, flattened cube between the two rods and a texture-slide script.
