If by object, you mean your screen that you want to click, then no, it's the actual texture that's made from the video size. Dark Video only understands decoding to a texture.
Quote: "So if i have 6 monitors in a room i can't just use the model for imageID. I have to come up with a way to load and adjust with programming each object in from the monitor model right?"
You can't just pass a model id in because Dark Video has no concept of decoding to a 3d object or model. It can only decode to a texture.
But, if you just wanted to play the movie onto an object, you can tell the object the texture to use with the following command:
TEXTURE OBJECT <object id>, <image id>
However, you're still responsible for creating the texture(s) in the first place. We offload this responsibility to the user because if we start creating images with various ids, it stands a good chance the user will create images with the same ids. This would lead to a lot of heartache and confusion.
Now, I don't know for sure but maybe someone who's really good with DBP can let you know whether it's possible to assign a texture to a polygon within an object. Then, once you'd created your texture, it'd be a simple matter of texturing that one polygon within your screen model.
Anyway, we'll make a sample that shows multiple videos playing that you can click to stop and start.
Also, we've found a few issues with multiple playback that are now resolved for Dark Video 2.
