I was wondering if there's a way to "move" the skin on a model.

I previously had a topic in "Starting with Gamestudio" but I didn't get a answer, so I was thinking I need to be more precise.

What I'm thinking is something like this in this movie that I recorded from a emulator running Super Mario 64.

If you look at the video, it seems like the skin on the lava is moving to the left.

Is this possible to replicate in GameStudio or should I give up trying to make this effect?

Hi, you need to research manual about uv shifting.
From vec_for_uv (VECTOR*, ENTITY*, var number);
vec_to_uv (VECTOR*, ENTITY*, var number);


function shiftskin(ent,num) // displace the skin position of a vertex{
vec_for_uv(temp,ent,num);
temp.x += 1; // move the skin coordinate by 1 pixel horizontally
vec_to_uv(temp,ent,num);
}


Found another;u, v
u
v
The pixel offsets of sprite and A7.07 model textures in horizontal and vertical direction. They affect the matTexture texture transformation matrix. By changing these offsets in real time, effects like streaming water can be achieved.
Range:
unlimited (default: 0)
Type:
var
Remarks:
The texture offsets of model or terrain skins can also be changed through the fx_uvspeed action in the MtlFX template script.
On sky domes the u v parameters give the speed of the cloud layers in pixels per tick.
Example:
action water_current // assign to a water sprite
{
while (1) {
my.v = 5*total_ticks;
wait (1);
}
}
