[Black Tulip] Class In A Box - Animating Textures (Book Format)

Animating textures allows us, from creating the illusion of a prim rotating, to play a cell animation in one side for one of our prims. There's only one function controlling all the possibilities, and depending on the choice, the parameters mean one thing or another.

For a better understanding for its behaviour, I've developed a simple HUD object to use along with the studying for this book: the object “llSetTextureAnim Helper HUD (wear)” that you'll find in your supplies folder. Make a copy before wearing it the first time.

We'll cover in this book all of the following:

This class is in book format, a wearable HUD with all the information, tips and graphics.

NOTE: The HUDs themselves are no modify/no transfer
