So I'm pretty sure the answer to this is no, but I just want to make sure...

Is there any way to place an animated texture on a box object, but only on one side?

I'm attempting to use sprite sheets on a 3D object, and currently, the sprite sheet gets applied on every side of the box.

In fact, as an additional question...can you put animating textures on objects at all?

You would have to manually set the texture each time you wanted to use a different frame of animation currently. There are no commands to change the image for individual faces either at the moment but perhaps if the object is just a box you could just use planes instead?

Yeah, baxslash, I was thinking of using planes, but then I saw the animated textures weren't animating.

So, the current solution to this problem is to just change the image on the face of the plane every x frames to simulate an animated texture?

Yes, that's how I would do it. I started converting some 3D explosion code from DBPro to AppGameKit that way but haven't finished it yet

Yeah, that sounds a little too risky considering our project will look fine in 2D.

So there really is no ETA on animated textures or animated objects?

Not that I'm aware of but I'm not really involved in the AppGameKit roadmap I'm afraid. I just get updates as and when I need them
