Get object texture, object ()

This command would be useful in a game I am working on.

This would eliminate having to make a list of all my objects and their texture numbers inside my working game program.

This would eliminate the need for my game program to scan such a list and would therefore save computer time, and make the program more efficient.

Well i doubt your wish come true, for most stuff you have commands, for everything else brain(actually for some stuff there are plugins also).If you think your program do not perform well search about code optimization.

Mr.Valentine's suggestion will give you the name; this will give you the texture ID: LIMB TEXTURE. These commands are in the standard help files.

Good to note that limb zero is the base of the object.

Dark BASIC is used to create products such as FPS Creator; so you will find that things like getting texture IDs need to be easy and are.

Oh, thanks, I got it...

as expressed in the formula-

Return Integer=LIMB TEXTURE(Object Number, Limb Number)

and if the object has no limbs, just put for limb number '0'.

That way, even if there's no limbs on the object, I can still find out the texture number.

This is not strictly necessary, after all YOU set the texture so YOU should be able to manage the data. i.e.

OBese87, textures are often assigned externally in a level editor or modelling program. The load object command will by default will load reconciled textures in the model folder and assign them run-time IDs.

The only reason to use Texture Object/Limb commands is when the model is untextured, insufficiently textured or needs overriding.

@Chris
I take it back then, I thought you guys were promoting clever lazy tricks above managing data properly.

I wouldn't exactly call it "lazy". If a data management system is already built in, there's really no need to re-invent the wheel unless you need it to be more specific.
