Hi all,

I do some simple effect using texture plane.(somehow the animated texture shader i use before dont work suddenly)
My quest, after some trial and error the animated texture work but i have to call sync() right under SetobjectUVposition. I found my printed text is flickering do this have any drawback?

Thanks

Halving your frame rate.
You shouldn't need to call sync more than once per loop, make sure you aren't resetting the UV offset previously and it should be fine to update it for your effect using a single sync.

depends where you sync but yes in theory, sync tells the screen to update so if you have multiple syncs it will cause weird updates and stuff won't work as expected because it may be in the wrong sync and also you have it process all the information before the first sync and then again for the 2nd... you should only use 1 per loop (flickering text is indicating you have at least 2, as for 1 sync the text is not shown, the next it is).

if you post a basic code snippet i'm sure someone can help you fix the shader.

Ah there's your problem, for - next loops are processed in 1 frame so you won't see the updates, just the last one.
You need a simple variable increment.
Like
inc u,1
if u > 1 then u = 0
inc v,1
if v > 1 then v = 0
SetObjectUVOffset(gunfirefxmesh,0,u,v)

(Just set u and v to 0 or 1 before your main loop)
