Animated textures

by Thomas Shaw · in Torque Game Engine · 01/09/2005 (7:33 pm) · 1 replies

My brain is goo. Can I do animated textures in TGE?

I'm thinking of things like for swirly glowy energy objects....where the texture would be doing the swirly stuff.
Or for blinking lights.

Also, along the same lines, texture switching: I would like for my characters to take damage when hit, with the damage texture sparking or revealing internal workings.

I can't seem to wrap my brain around whether it's a code thing or a MAX texture thing right now.

Animated texture are called IFL's. Same in MAX, Image File list. You can use them in Torque. Switching the textures is resourse. BUt for specific points on the character you might have to use decals. I haven't getten in to them much so I won't be help on the topic. MIght help you get going though.
