blink effect?

(1/2) > >>

dibb1er:
is it possible to make a part of the skin blink?

in other words, can i select a part of the skin to flick between a dark texture and a light texture at a set interval?

i know that we can change parts of the skin at certain triggers (e.g. the popular light, when a button is depressed...), so i was just wondering if what i am after is possible or not.

to give you an idea of what i am thinking of doing (if possible  ???  ), is to get the neon(?) in the AJ8 skin to flicker on and off.

p.s. keep up the good work. can't wait for the new update  :notworthy:

MrD:
Maybe some kind of animated GIF would work?   I'm not sure if they can be used in a skin now or not.

hmm... nope...

just tried it, doesnt seem to like gifs 

thanks for the suggestion anyway. 

Chris:
Sorry, GIFs are not supported due to patent issues (although I think the patent may have expired...).

If there is demand for this, I could add multiple frames for icons, with each frame being a separate image... I would have to support a frame rate and a loop setting for each icon.  Hmm.  This probably wouldn't be terribly difficult to do if each frame was a separate image.  For loop settings, I guess it would be best to support a mode (forward or forward and back) and a loop count (number of times to loop or infinite).  These would replace the OnImage and OffImage, so the settings could be different for each, and if it was mapped to MSG_START it would just run forever.  Is there demand for this?  Is that a silly question?

dibb1er:
a demand?
no, was just wondering if was possible with the current code.
So, dont put yourself out on my account, I think wincab is perfect for my needs as is (erm... except for the id tag stuff   ;)
