How to make a texture changer loop?

[Naiman Broome]

Hello I know how to make a texture selector on menu but how can be done a texture changer randomly on a loop with a set of textures ?

Especially only on one face of a mesh?

Imagine a tv screen or the like .

what you want is a texture slide viewer

to get you started try this one from Sendao and Rolig.

That is requiring me to make two more prims, my item is a simple phone screen with 1 prim and two faces.

If you don't mind the images playing in the same order, and making your own special texture, you could do something with llSetTextureAnim() .

I just wanted to display some different textures one after the other , in no particular order  in a timely fashion.

I guess I'll also suggest the obvious solution, which all the people in the know will complain about being blurry and such because it doesn't preload the textures:

// change 10.0 to the texture change interval (in seconds) and 0 to the face number 
default
{
    state_entry()
    {   llSetTimerEvent(10.0);
    }
    timer()
    {
        llSetTexture(0,llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, llFloor(llFrand(llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE)))));
    }
}

or to do things in order (and mix in-script and in-object textures)

//list of texture UUIDs. Textures in the same prim will be included automatically.
list gTextures = 
[  //remove or replace the next few lines
   "5748decc-f629-461c-9a36-a35a221fe21f", // TEXTUTE_BLANK
   "38b86f85-2575-52a9-a531-23108d8da837" //(invisiprim) // no final comma. 
];
integer gNtextures; // = llGetListLength(gTextures);
integer gIndex=-1;
default
{
  state_entry()
  {  gNTextures=llGetListLength(gTextures);
     llSetTimerEvent(10.0);
  }
  timer()
  {  integer invN = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE);
     ++gIndex;
     if(gTextureIndex<gNtextures)
     {  llSetTexture(ALL_SIDES,llList2String(gTextures,gIndex));
     }else if(gTexture<gNtextures+invN)
     {	llSetTexture(ALL_SIDES,llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE,gIndex-invN);
     }else
     {  llSetTexture(ALL_SIDES,llList2String(gTextures,gIndex=0));
     }
  }
}

No, you only need those two extra prims if you want buttons to advance the slides manually.  If you always want them to advance automatically, you don't need the extra prims.  All you need is something with two faces -- one to display on and the other to preload the next slide on.

thankyou.
