How to scroll texture along a track mesh?

Hi everyone,
I am working on a game with a few first world war tanks. I was wondering how to scroll a track texture along the track mesh? I've seen how to do it along a plain but how along a mesh?
Cheers

 

You can scroll the track in a shader by creating a uv offset like so:

Code (CSharp):

1. o.uv_MainTex.x -= _Time.y * _MovementSpeed;

You will need to make sure that your track mesh has fitting uv coordinates. You can also use uv offset if you're nt too comfortable using shaders: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Material.SetTextureOffset.html
Just google uv texture scrolling and you will get the answers you need

 

Cheers, will give it a go

 

Thanks very much! works brilliantly. Juts need to write the code for it

 

Ah, I've got myself stuck again. The shader scrolls meaning it scrolls on all instances of it. how could I do it so it only scrolls a local instance? Because its causing all the tracks on all tanks to move because they use the same shader.

 

Personally, i would just scroll the texture on the object instance / instances.

TextureOffset

 

Hi, homicide, how would I go about doing that?

 

I gave that ago but it is to scroll the object the code is running on. is there any way to allocate a child object to have the texture scrolled?

 

Ok, Ive got it so i kinda works. It scroll properly and is local to 1 object but there's an issue. The object is made of multiple elements (16 to be precise) how would I scroll all elements? at the moment its just scrolling element 1.
