Wouldn't this lagg out your game if you did it for every entity?

Why would it lag out your game? It's no more complicated than any other appear script, in fact, it's LESS complicated than most of them.

Good work, CG, but have you tested this? I was sure that character entities had issues with alternating textures.

I just thought that loading all of those textures, not the script would pose issues. Mabey I am wrong.

Hmm, that could possibly make load times bad, but probably not Frame rate.......

I'm gonna test this out........

-=EDIT=-

Nope. doesn't work on characters, and since that was the intended purpose of this script, it feels kinda useless now......

Do you know why the Alttexture doesn't work on characters Ply?

Maybe migration will give us the texture system used in X10 - I have no idea how it was setup exactly and it seems limited to a fixed number of textures, but cool none-the-less.

Eh..heheheh....about that.....

It doesn't work either. Which leaves me stumped since this script is so simplistic that it should work......

Any non-stock media simply goes pure-white. Whereas stock just sits and does nothing. It must be the ALTTEXTURE command because I've set it all up as it should be.......

Wait! The guide has found the answer! Thank you Nickydude! ALTTEXTURE is a Boolean command, so it needs a =1 on the end of it....give me a mo.....

Ok, I recommend editing the RANDOM=XX value to suit your needs......

As tested so far it works on most stuff, but not MP3 so much, (well, it toggles between white and brown), here's a few screens:

The editor view, all entities are set up as instructed, now let's test the game:

The second, if you look behind the chair one of the barrels is changed, and there's more blue canisters:

3rd time, less blue canisters, more yellow barrels, weird coincidence......

I'll test this on Aiko next, but I'm not too optimistic over it.....

Yes, characters do not take kindly to alternate textures in FPSC X9.


I could take a few minutes to look into the source and see if there are any bits of code that scream at me saying, "I DID IT!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Back...

Nothing to peculiar about the engine and how it accomplishes this... however, it does refresh textures used for any shaders that the object may be attempting to use as well as the shader effect itself.

Perhaps that could be the issue here?

You could even make some places out of dynamic enteties, so that the entire room would change textures.
