Player texture swapping

by Stephen Colbran · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 08/06/2009 (2:16 am) · 4 replies

Is it possible to switch the textures of a player in TGEA (and T3D) during the game?

For example: I have a model with 3 textures, legs, shirt and head.
During the game, could I call a script (say... %this.player.setTexture("arms", "arms.1.jpg")) that would change one of the textures?

Thanks
