Editing TextureMatrix

A TextureMatrix, or texmat, when applied to a material, object allows you to define how a texture will appear in a material.  It can be used to manipulate still (fixed) textures as well as animated ones.

== Code ==
{|
|
  textureMatrix
   name example_texmat
   scale 0.0 0.0 1.0 1.0 # u/v freqs, u/v scales
   spin 0.0 # rotation freq
   shift 0.0 0.0 # u/v freqs
   center 0.5 0.5 # dynamic u/v center (for spin and scale)
   fixedscale 0.0 0.0 # time invariant u/v scale
   fixedspin 0.0 # time invariant rotation
   fixedshift 0.0 0.0 # time invariant u/v shift
  end
|}

The valid parameters for textureMatrix are:
{|{{Prettytable}}
|-
| {{Hl3}} |'''Parameter''' 
| {{Hl3}} |'''Description'''
|-
| '''name''' || Name of the texmat, for reference.
|-
| '''scale''' || Causes texture to dynamically change it's size, parameters are u/v frequencies, then u/v scales.
|-
| '''spin''' || Cause a texture to spin around a center point, parameter is rotational frequency.
|-
| '''shift''' || Causes texture to move linearly, parameters are u/v frequencies.
|-
| '''center''' || Central point for spin and scale.
|-
| '''fixedscale''' || Fixed scale, texture doesn't move with time.
|-
| '''fixedspin''' || Fixed spin, texture doesn't move with time.
|-
| '''fixedshift''' || Fixed shift, texture doesn't move with time.
|}

A textureMatrix can be called by adding 'texmat <name>' to a material containing a texture, like so:
{|
|
 material
  name example_material
  diffuse 1 1 1 1
  texture caution
  texmat example_texmat
 end
|}

== Editor Support ==
The Texture Matrix can only be added to a map by hand, or by pyBzEdit.

==History==
The TextureMatrix object was added with the [[BZFlag 2.0.0|v2.0.0]] release of BZFlag.
