I saw that there is a clone() function on Animated Texture Provider. https://lensstudio.snapchat.com/api/classes/AnimatedTextureFileProvider/

 

So I tried it, but got an error.
How to use this function properly?

function init(){

var myLength = script.objBird.length;

for(i=0;i<myLength;i++){

birdTex[i] = script.texBirdAnim.control.clone()

script.objBird[i].getComponent("Component.Image").mainPass.baseTex = birdTex[i]

script.objBird[i].getComponent("Component.Image").mainPass.baseTex.control.play(1,0)

}

}

 

init();

    Hi, I tried it again today with simplified version of the script

    // @input SceneObject imageA
    // @input SceneObject imageB

    var cloneTex = script.imageA.getComponent("Component.Image").mainPass.baseTex.control.clone()
    script.imageB.getComponent("Component.Image").mainPass.baseTex = cloneTex


    Please let me know how to use this properly!

    PS. The imageA has animated texture on it

    Thanks!

    Hi, Jhonnel Pica

    The clone method actually clones Texture Provider and not a texture itself.

    You have to set cloned texture provider to be a control of another texture. This should work : 

    // @input SceneObject imageA
    // @input SceneObject imageB
    var control = script.imageA.getComponent("Component.Image").mainPass.baseTex.control.clone();
    script.imageB.getComponent("Component.Image").mainPass.baseTex.control = control;
    control.play(-1, 2);

    Note that I assume you are using default material on the Images.

    Please let me know if this works for you! I can attach example project if needed

    Thanks Olha , the code works but not what I expected because I thought that it will clone the texture itself so I can offset other animation without duplicating the same texture animation.

    I see! It's not that straightforward but still can be used for your case. You just need a texture reference to set provider to, that's why i was using default material. 

    You can also use proxy texture asset for this

    Hi, Jhonnel Pica

    It's just an empty texture before anything is assigned to it. You can use it to create your copy. For example: 

    // @input Asset.Texture fromTexture
    // @input Asset.Texture toTexture

    var control = script.fromTexture.control.clone();
    script.toTexture.control = control;
    control.play(-1, 2);

    And now you can use that proxy texture resource in Materials right away

    My setup :
