Flame Animation

[WarWulf]

jitspoe i dont remember if in the ub_texture folder i sent you, if u saw the flame textures i had. i was wondering if their was a shader\rscript to help me out with getting it animated?

Code: [Select]

scriptname
{
subdivide <size>
vertexwarp <speed> <distance> <smoothness>
safe
{
map <texturename>
scroll <xtype> <xspeed> <ytype> <yspeed>
scale <xtype> <xspeed> <ytype> <yspeed>
blendfunc <source> <dest>
alphashift <speed> <min> <max>
anim <delay> <tex1> <tex2> <tex3> ... end
envmap
alphamask
}
}
So in your case, something like...

Code: [Select]

textures/ub/flame1
{
{
map textures/ub/flame1.jpg
blendfunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
anim 0.03
textures/ub/flame1.jpg
textures/ub/flame2.jpg
textures/ub/flame3.jpg
textures/ub/flame4.jpg
end
}
}

I'm not sure what the actual texture names are offhand, and I haven't tested this, but it should work.

Be sure to add the script into the "requiredfiles" in your worldspawn, so it will download when people download the map.

That script doesn't work for me.
I'm just testing it by making the barrels in midnight switch baaaack and forth...
But the barrels always turn solid pink/blue, depending on what color they are.
I think it's taking the average of what texture I'm trying to get on it...

[jitspoe]

That's probably because it's doing additive blending, which you'd want for something like fire, but wouldn't make sense for solid objects.  It could also be switching so fast that you just see the average color.

I slowed it down so that I could see it switch, but it still didn't work.

Whoop, made it work. Apparantly, using 'map' messes up anim and stuff.

Hey, you know what would be fun? Wildcards in rsrcipts.
Make EVERYTHING envmap.
