When i am making a weapon.. i want it to change textures animationly. Like on Aura Weapons... some weapons change textures in a sequence and a fast speed. Is there anyone that can help me with this. Because i am actually coming out with a huge pack of items, weapons, and monsters for unreal. In other words, my own server. It might be 4 to 5 months or more befor EVERYTHING is done with. I have already completed some pretty neat weapons and items so far. I hope more will be in stock later. So i am just wondering about some basic crap to make the weapons look interesting. _________________ Improvements along the way friends and foes.

Like on Aura Weapons... some weapons change textures in a sequence and a fast speed" Are you referring to weapons like the aurastinger Thug? I'm asking because I have created similar effects to that but want to be sure what your talking about... If that's the case those are not really animated they are merely switched back and forth between different textures, here's how you use those>> bRandomFrame=True Texture=FireTexture'UnrealShare.WEffect1.WaterEffect1' "whatever Texture" Mesh=LodMesh'UnrealShare.StingerPickup' "your mesh of course" bMeshEnviroMap=True MultiSkins(0)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(1)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(2)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(3)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(4)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(5)=FireTexture'UnrealI.Whatever' MultiSkins(6)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(7)=FireTexture'UnrealI.Whatever' Using the MultiSkins this way will change the texture back and forth depending on what skins you have in there.. Hope this helps>>> Bass Back to top mental-HunteR Joined: 05 May 2006 Posts: 363 Location: The Netherlands Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2009 5:08 pm    Post subject: or try this: Code: var float Count; var() texture randskins[6]; //This is the ammount of diffferent skins afcaurse. simulated function Tick(float DeltaTime) {    Count += DeltaTime;    if (Count>0.2) //<-- This is the speed.    {       skin=randskins[rand(6)];       multiskins[0]=randskins[rand(6)];       multiskins[1]=randskins[rand(6)];       multiskins[2]=randskins[rand(6)];       multiskins[3]=randskins[rand(6)];       multiskins[4]=randskins[rand(6)];       multiskins[5]=randskins[rand(6)];       multiskins[6]=randskins[rand(6)];       multiskins[7]=randskins[rand(6)];       texture=randskins[rand(6)];           Count=0.0;    } } And for Meshes: Code: var() Mesh randMeshes[6]; //This is the ammount of diffferent meshes afcaurse. simulated function Tick(float DeltaTime) {    Count += DeltaTime;    if (Count>0.2) //<-- This is the speed    {       Mesh=randMeshes[rand(6)];       b = Spawn(class'MercFlare');       b.RemoteRole = ROLE_None;             Count=0.0;    } } _________________ Back to top srbassalot Joined: 16 Sep 2004 Posts: 229 Location: Earth Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:21 pm    Post subject: Damn good idea Mental but he needs to keep in mind it won't work if he's using tick elsewhere in the same script :-P Cheers, Bass Back to top mental-HunteR Joined: 05 May 2006 Posts: 363 Location: The Netherlands Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2009 11:24 pm    Post subject: You can mix it, or eventually put it in a Timer. _________________ Back to top gizzy Joined: 23 Apr 2006 Posts: 37 Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:09 pm    Post subject: srbassalot wrote: bRandomFrame=True Texture=FireTexture'UnrealShare.WEffect1.WaterEffect1' "whatever Texture" Mesh=LodMesh'UnrealShare.StingerPickup' "your mesh of course" bMeshEnviroMap=True MultiSkins(0)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(1)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(2)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(3)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(4)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(5)=FireTexture'UnrealI.Whatever' MultiSkins(6)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(7)=FireTexture'UnrealI.Whatever' This didn't work for me :/ I might try the code method Mental suggested instead Back to top mental-HunteR Joined: 05 May 2006 Posts: 363 Location: The Netherlands Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 11:06 pm    Post subject: gizzy wrote: srbassalot wrote: bRandomFrame=True Texture=FireTexture'UnrealShare.WEffect1.WaterEffect1' "whatever Texture" Mesh=LodMesh'UnrealShare.StingerPickup' "your mesh of course" bMeshEnviroMap=True MultiSkins(0)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(1)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(2)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(3)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(4)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(5)=FireTexture'UnrealI.Whatever' MultiSkins(6)=FireTexture'UnrealShare.Whatever' MultiSkins(7)=FireTexture'UnrealI.Whatever' This didn't work for me :/ I might try the code method Mental suggested instead It's not just suggested, it's the only one i know so far XD _________________ Back to top srbassalot Joined: 16 Sep 2004 Posts: 229 Location: Earth Posted: Thu Apr 02, 2009 12:33 pm    Post subject: I didn't just post for the fun of it...it does work, I have used it before but now can't find my reference for it. Use Mental's it will work for you but I suggest you set "Style=STY_Translucent" otherwise you may not like the effect.
