Texture animating vs Texture scaling

[Kayaker Magic]

I have a prim that changes size, but I want the texture to stay constant and not scale with the prim. No problem, I can calculate new repeat values every time I change the prim size and call llSetPrimitiveParams(PRIM_TEXTURE to make the texture map the way I want.

Problem is, I also want the texture to slowly slide across the prim. (It is supposed to look like flowing water). After I call llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON|LOOP|SMOOTH, it resets the texture repeat to 1,1 every frame! For a minute I thought changing the sizex and sizey parameters in this function would do the same thing as the repeat values, but these parameters are integers and I need fractional values. Am I SOL? Is there away to animate a texture (sliding, not frame based) and set the texture repeat at the same time?

You're SOL

Texture animation has three mutually-exclusive modes:

1. SMOOTHly sliding the whole texture (one repeat in each dimension)
2. Frame-by-frame (ie; film) which is what the sizex and sizey are for (how many frames the texture is split into)
3. Scaling/rotating

About the only thing you can do is to upload a bunch of the same textures with different pre-made repeats and just use a diff texture each time. That's what I do when I make resizeable water anims.
