Trying to update some older code and I have run into a problem.

I want to shift the UV of the texture on a view entity. The old code was like this;
Code:

---

 

entity argile_ent
{
  type = <argile.mdl>;
  layer = 2;
  view = camera;
  x = 0;   y = 0;  z = 0; 
}
  
function scroll_argile_texture()
{
  while(1)
  {
    argile_ent.v += time*3;
    wait(1);
  }
}
 

---

This worked fine, but now this method has been removed from the engine. How can
I do this?

I have tried the using mtlFX.wdl like this;

Code:

---

include <mtlFX.wdl>;
entity argile_ent
{
  type = <argile.mdl>;
  layer = 2;
  view = camera;
  x = 0;   y = 0;  z = 0; 
  material = mtl_uvspeed;
}
  
function scroll_argile_texture()
{
  while(1)
  {
    argile_ent.skill2 = 3;
    wait(1);
  }
}
 

---

Which seems to work for models, but it makes the view ent completly disappear
(no errors). I have also tried setting the view ents material elswhere like this "argile_ent.material = mtl_uvspeed;", but no luck.

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
