How to use SetSkinName in TGEA

#1 Ok, I can change the skin in TGEA now. However, another problem comes. I find the SetSkinName can only take effect once. That means I first use mysensor1.setSkinName("warm1") , the object does change its skin, but when I use mysensor1.setSkinName("warm2") in succession , nothing happenes .
I really really really gonna be crazy :OOOOO

#2 There was a post on this when 1.7 was in beta or when it first came out and someone posted a fix in the thread. I did a quick search just now and couldn't find the thread, but it's in here someplace and probably still works on 1.7.1.

EDIT: Okay found it here: http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=74084

#3 Thanks a lot, Smith. I am now using 1.0.3. In fact, I have never thought of editing the engine code instead of just using script code. So, I would like to have a try. And before that, I found an clumsy way to solve this problem. Since I can not change the skin, I then delete the object, and create another object with the next skin at the same place, 1 second later, I delete this object again and create another object. This does give me the same effect, but I think this may take more system resource. :)

#4 Not entirely sure about system resources, but I can tell you this:

A) Be sure to create the new object before deleting the old one. I suggest making it a clone of the first object, then setting its skin the way you mentioned. (Which only works once, but hey, it's a new object so once is all you need

B) I suggest the new object to be a clone of the first to make sure it has all the necessary parameters

C) Making objects/deleting old ones CAN be noticeable if you are not careful. Make sure to keep the timing tight, like 1-10ms between creation/deletion. Also note that if the original object is animated or moving, you will be far more likely to notice the "switch", so try to delete/create while the object is stationary.

#5 Thanks very much, Nicolai. Your suggestions are very useful.
