is it posible to put an animated texture on a plane? Like a flame? And what kind of image should I use for that?

There's no function to do it in DBC, but it is possible writing your own function.

The way I would go about doing it is drawing out all the frames of the animation and save it as a PNG. Then using the Load Bitmap command in DBC I would load it up to the current bitmap so I get the individual frames using the Get Image command.

Then write a function that would change the image of a certain object, and call it in my main loop.

I want to do this too, because you can get more compression. What i do at the moment for animated textures is to have a series of images, and just change the object texture each loop if required. Seems to work well enough.


You'll be able to click on this someday.

I would try and make the series of images a uniformed strip either vertically or horizontally.

I would try different variables of scroll object texture until the sliding appeared to show each frame in succession.
