Animated Textures

I *think* this is the right section for this, else would some kind mod gently move it?

Anyway, I have the model of a rifleman, which I've added a cigar to.
I've added an animated texture to the cigar, which makes the cigar glow.
Unfortunately, the only way I can change the speed of the glow is by changing the keyframes it animates between

e.g From 67-1400 is quite fast
From 67-4500 is about perfect.

However, the animations which will incorporate this texture (Stand, Stand-2 etc) only go from 67-1400 or so. If I change them to -4500 they'll go at the same speed as the cigar glow, which is too slow for actual movement, and it would seem that I can't link the TVertexAnim over a bunch of other animations, because using 67-4500 for the TVertexAnim keyframes doesnt work at all (this would go over the end of the Stand animation and onto the Stand-2 animation).

So esentially, I'd like to know how I can animate a TVertexAnim faster or slower than the frames in which it can animate.

Thanks in advance.

You'll be wanting to add a GlobalSequence, so it animates the same throughout the entire animation set.

EG:

GlobalSequences 1 {
Duration 1000,
}

Then, you'd set up your texture animation to animated between 0 and 1000, and add the:
GlobalSeqId 0,
line just below the interpolation type on each set of keys.

Rifleman might have some extra globalseqs, but I'm sure you can handle that.

Thanks very much RDZ. Glad to see I wasn't just being a *complete* idiot or something.

There are many ins and outs of the MDL, and it takes a long time to learn it all. That's precisely the sort of thing this forum is here for.

Do you have it in 3ds or not ?

this is the mdl corner, I don't think people posting here have 3ds max.

It could be ^^ and easily with a good mdl importer.
