I`m making a simple 3d pong as my first game (i`m not sure it`s first , but something like that , i havent used Dark Basic for some time now , so it`s preatty same as for it was first...)

Anyways i made a matrix as "floor" in my game , now , i have no idea why , i would like my texture to scroll constantly. I`l make a sea texture or something like that , and i would like it to scroll , that`s all , i would appreciate if someone could write me the script.

from the help files:

Quote: "SCROLL OBJECT TEXTURE
This command will scroll the UV data of the specified object. The UV data controls how a texture is
mapped onto your object. By scrolling the UV data, you can effectively scroll the texture over your object.
The U value controls the horizontal shift of the data. The V value controls the vertical shift of the data.
The scroll effect is permanent.

SYNTAX
SCROLL OBJECT TEXTURE Object Number, X, Y"


EDIT:
just remembered that this is the DB forum; i'm not sure if this command exists in DB

What you may have to do, is give a variable for the scroll, and change it every frame. (I can't check right now, but I think Scroll is more like 'offset').




This will add one to your scroll amount every frame, and then scroll your texture diagonally (in the X and the Y (or is it U and V)).

I could be wrong, however.

This is a shameless plug but that's why I modified the help files so it's easy to see what will work and won't for people with Classic and Enhanced.

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=69615&b=1

Quote of that same command (the help files are for Pro only):
Quote: "SCROLL OBJECT TEXTURE
( Classic, Enhanced, Pro )

This command will scroll the UV data of the specified object. The UV data controls how a texture is mapped onto your object. By scrolling the UV data, you can effectively scroll the texture over your object. The U value controls the horizontal shift of the data. The V value controls the vertical shift of the data. The scroll effect is permanent.

shift matrix is used for moving the entire height data one grid to that direction. Not scrolling textures.

Scrolling textures is impossible on matrices. You could make a similar effect using multiple images and use them as frames. But this is probably very slow.

If you need a scrolling effect, use objects...

It's the programmer's life:
Have a problem, solve the problem, and have a new problem to solve.
