I have seen a topic asking how to play a video in Dashboard in this forum. But sometimes, the video playing need to be played in the model which can be rotated with the perspective. Is there some method? Thank you.
FlexSim doesn't have any built-in support for playing video files in the 3D view as animated textures, but you could load each frame in as a texture and then use setobjecttextureindex() to cycle through them.
You do could that within an object's animation by calling setobjecttextureindex() in the triggers of the animation.
Here's an example (animated-image.fsm):
To minimize events for performance optimization, you could also just write your own code in the object's OnPreDraw trigger that switches the texture index instead of using the Animator's triggers.
Here's an example showing that way: animated-image-2.fsm
