[Solved] animate an object with an animated material

[Gbadji]

Hi,

I have two questions about animated materials :

1/ is it possible to animate an object having an animated material ?
If yes, I will continue my experiments and see why I can't link to my age

2/ can we start a material animation like an object animation ?
if yes, an indication will be appreciate.

Thanks and see you soon.

1) is definately possible. Remember, your animated object (with the animated texture) must be an actor or Uru will crash

2) no idea ... sorry

You are in luck. I have recently updated this subject in the wiki: Animating_Textures#Controlling_Layer_Animations

Thanks Boblishman, I have suppressed my object to go back in my age, but I think that you are right, I had fogotten the Actor property.

Thanks D'Lanor, why I haven't seen that part of the article this week-end .

I know what to do this evening : a new puzzle .

[Edit} it's working well. Thanks all for your help and your job.
I have changed the activation script :

Code: Select all

               - type: animcmdmsg
                 params:
                  receivers:
                    - 0043:MatBassin2-TexBassin
                  cmds:
                    - setlooping
                    - continue
                 waiton: 0

adding setlooping to have the water flowing when the button stops to turn.


See you soon.
