Looping texture animation

[Sawapine]

Guys, I need help!
Who knows how to set the beginning and end of the animated texture so that it does not repeat?

[Rectus]

It can be done by changing out the animation material proxy for MaterialModifyAnimated, and then using a material_modify_control entity to trigger the animation with looping disabled.

Can you show me how it will be look in the code, please?

If you already have an animated material, it should be as easy as switching out AnimatedTexture for MaterialModifyAnimated.

I Hammer, you need to trigger the StartAnimSequence input on the material_modify_control with the parameter ovveride set to the list of settings in the wiki.

I did that, but the texture still looping. Maybe i do something wrong. (
//------------------------------------
"Proxies"
{
"MaterialModifyAnimated"
{
"animatedtexturevar" "$basetexture"
"animatedtextureframenumvar" "$frame"
"animatedtextureframerate" "16"
}
}
}
//------------------------------------

How is your material_modify_control set up?

[Sawapine]

I don't know where and how correctly should I write it.

So you've placed one in Hammer, right? The next step is to set the Material to modify keyvalue to your material, and then firing the StartAnimSequence input from whatever you want to trigger the animation from.

[Sawapine]

I don't use the Hammer. I've already animated texture *.vtf file and I just uploaded This mod in Workshop. But I only need to start on the first and stop on the last frame that animation. (

Here the full code of the my *.vmt file:
//---------------------------------------
"UnlitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "vgui/common/death_screen"
"$translucent" 1

"Proxies"
{
"MaterialModifyAnimated"
{
"animatedtexturevar" "$basetexture"
"animatedtextureframenumvar" "$frame"
"animatedtextureframerate" "16"
}
}

}
//---------------------------------------
Please, can you write all the needed functions?

[Rectus]

Oh sorry, I thought you were making it for a map. Doing it with matreial proxies only might be possible, not fully sure though. Something like this could probably work, although it's possible it gets played before the player has a chance to see it:

"UnlitGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "vgui/common/death_screen"
	"$translucent" 1

	"$frame" 0
	
	"Proxies"
	{
		"LinearRamp"
		{
			"rate" 1 // Animation speed goes here
			"initialValue" 0
			"resultVar" "$frame"
		}
		"Clamp"
		{
			"min" 0
			"max" 16 // Number of frames + 1 goes here
			"srcVar1" "$frame"
			"resultVar" "$frame"
		}
	}

}

Thank you very much for help, bro! Now I probably know that it's impossible to stop looping of this kind of animated texture.)
