Old topic was old. Gif Brick

[Pew446]

Would it be possible to have a gif on a brick? Useful for movies, etc?

Sounds interesting. Might cause lag though.

Impossible with Torques engine.


Although I've heard that with a few tweaks it could be done.



Generally people use editting programs to do what you are looking for such as making it look like there is a video in a brick.

Use relays and the set print event

You can't use animated images on gifs.

What you can do is make a code to cycle prints on a brick. For many years, I've had this code for an animated print. I'd go take a video of the animation on a brick, but I don't like uploading videos.

But I have an automatic animation script.

It'd be pretty sad to have 1000+ prints... :c

Use relays and the set print event

It would be sad indeed.
Unless you name them Name#
replacing the # with the number of the frame.
It would only lessen the eventing strain, though.

Ya, it just sets a bunch of prints, then checks the setPrint for if one is used. And if one of the numbered ones is set, it runs the list of them in a cycle. When I first made this, I noticed it has this awesome side effect to even animate the print on print bricks.
