Theres one that returns the texture on the limb, but none for the actual object( that i can see ) which seems pretty stupid.

If you have assigned an object a texture from an image, can you not just keep this information in an array, and refer back to it?

If you only have a single texture for an object, would you not be able to get the texture number from any limb? Even an object with only one "limb" would have a limb count of 1.

The fastest code is the code never written.

... unless you realise that objects are not textured, but limbs are. I know that there's a TEXTURE OBJECT command, but what that actually does is texture all of the limbs of the object with the same texture ID.

Also, if you texture all of the limbs on your object with different textures, then which one should be reported if you ask for the object texture anyway?

Not quite so stupid, huh?

Well, the root limb is limb zero.

This works fine...
