anyone got code for single surface particles that can use animated textures?

I think what you need to do, is store the frames inside the one texture. Then adjust the UV co-ords to select the frame you want. I imagine you could make a function that would copy the animated texture into a single texture. The result would be the same :o)

thats what i thought.. MAN i hate the Blitz3D sprite system!
how does the textures fix. are the 1=100% of texture?

iv got an image 256 x 2176
what about the number be if wanted 64x64
my brain isn't working.. to much drink from lastnight

considering...

	s.sprite=New sprite
	s\verti[0]=AddVertex(surf,0,0,0,0,1) ;topleft			;0--1
	s\verti[1]=AddVertex(surf,0,0,0,1,1) ;topright          ;| /|
	s\verti[2]=AddVertex(surf,0,0,0,0,0) ;bottomleft        ;|/ |
	s\verti[3]=AddVertex(surf,0,0,0,1,0) ;bottomright       ;2--3
	AddTriangle(surf,s\verti[1],s\verti[2],s\verti[3])
	AddTriangle(surf,s\verti[2],s\verti[1],s\verti[0])

	VertexTexCoords surf,s\verti[0],0,.25
	VertexTexCoords surf,s\verti[1],.005,.005
	VertexTexCoords surf,s\verti[2],0,0
	VertexTexCoords surf,s\verti[3],.005,0

Yes, 1 = 100%.

But what about 'LoadAnimTexture'?

it wouldn't work for single surface's i have multiple particle graphics and the only way to do it is positioning the texture coords to vertex. I hate this stuff! takes too long for me to do but i need a single serface sprite system now

Why not use one of the free libraries already available, like RottParticles or Lotus? (Thanks Rottbott and Noel! =) )

i got something working here, its a simple one iv created based on someone's single surface particle thing... iv even got "frame animations" working too!
