Animated Skyboxes

[Spelos]

Also... you can set the skybox texture with code.

Code: (Select All)

void SetSkyBoxTexture(string& asTexture);

You could perhaps set the skybox repeatedly through frames, but that sounds really rough and could really hit the performance of the mod.


If you REALLY REALLY NEED IT, you could try something like this:

- If you have the frames of the skybox like: MyTexture1.dds, MyTexture2.dds...

Code: (Select All)

int count = 1; //Used for the cycle method
int last = 5; //What is the number of the last frame (MyTexture1... MyTexture5)

void OnStart()
{
    AddTimer("", 0.5f, "SkyboxCycleTimer");
}

void SkyboxCycleTimer(string &in asTimer)
{
    if (count > last)
    {
    count = 1;
    }
    SetSkyBoxTexture("MyTexture" + count);
    count = count + 1;
    AddTimer("", 0.5f, "SkyboxCycleTimer"); //0.5f is the refresh rate in this case
}

But this method is SUPER rough... I wouldn't do it...
