NB, an error in the debug function of this script has been discovered and corrected, since this script was first released. If you already bought the script, you can have it redelivered either here through the Marketplace or by using the redelivery terminal in my inworld store.
DESCRIPTION:
This script works on mesh and prim objects with multiple texture faces. It creates an illusion of movement by only showing one texture face at a time in a sequence while keeping the other faces 100% transparent.
The script will run in a loop to keep the mesh item animated. One loop will consist of showing the texture on the texture faces one by one in one number sequence and do the same but now on the same texture faces in the reverse order.
You decide which texture faces will be animated and in what sequence.
You also decide how fast the animation will be by deciding how long each texture face will be shown.
You can set the script to run evenly with all texture faces showing at the same time length in all loops or set the texture faces to show a little longer in some loops than others to create a more "uneven" animation. This can be useful for animating e.g. resting butterflies which will not flap their wings at an even and consistent rate. The text in the script will guide you how to use this function.
You can add a touch function to start and stop the animation.
Every texture face that is not included in the list of texture faces you set to be part of the animation will be transparent at all times.
If you want some faces to remain visible at all times during the animation, this is not the script you need.
WHAT TYPE OF ITEMS CAN BE ANIMATED?
I have a selection of full perms that can be used with this type of script, and some of the items are listed under "Related Items". I suggest you go see some of those items in my inworld store so you can see for yourself what this type of script can be used for.
PERMISSIONS:
This is a full script for private as well as for commercial use.
The script is designed for commercial use. Sharing or reselling the script is strictly prohibited. You may only resell it as part of a scripted item and the script must be set to one of the two permission settings:
- copy
- transfer
Including the script in one of my full perm mesh models and reselling it as such is not allowed. The scripted item must be part of a project that includes other mesh items and/or is scripted further.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT:
If you have any questions or issues with the script, please send me an IM and I will get back to you asap, but please read the instructions and try to experiment with the script first before you IM me. That will also help me to improve the instructions on how to use the script so they become more user friendly. No notecards please, as I can't read them offline (which also often means you have to wait longer for a response).
Greetings :-)

Great
Easy to use script. Yet, I am trying figure out what script to use to make my creation move up down left and right. It is as described. I got my creation wings flapping but there are no float or flying. Thanks.
