Problem playing an aniamtion

by Leslie Young · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 07/06/2008 (7:56 am) · 3 replies

Can someone explain to me why this code won't play the waterfall animation?
Its from Apparatus content pack and I'm presuming its an animated texture.
According to ShowtoolPro the sequence is called "Sequence01" and is playing in showtool.
I am using TGEA1.7

datablock StaticShapeData(WaterfallAnimation)
{
	category = "Effects";
	className = "WaterfallEffects";
	shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/particles/waterfall/waterfall.dts";
};

function WaterfallEffects::onAdd(%this, %obj)
{
	error("I R CALLED"); // yes it gets in here
	%obj.playThread(0, "Sequence01");
}

In tgea 1.7 , texture animating do not work . you can solve it by material scrolling.

For those that want to animate something like a waterfall. Here's the material I use.
new Material(MAT_EFFECTS_waterfall)
{
 mapTo = "waterfall";
 baseTex[0] = "waterfall";
 translucent = true;
 translucentZWrite = false;
 translucentBlendOp = LerpAlpha;
 //alphaRef = 64;
   
 animFlags[0] = $scroll;
 scrollDir[0] = "0 -1";
 scrollSpeed[0] = 0.5;
};
