I can’t wait to use this with my upcoming project. Gun skins will be on another level with this. Looking forward to see what everyone creates with it.

This is going to come in handy for so many projects!
Some fantastic updates recently, and I’ve been hearing news of Developer Subscriptions coming soon too

If anyone is looking to automate a fix for this issue, this is the solution I came up with:
local normalIdToAxis =
{
Left = 'X';
Right = 'X';
Top = 'Y';
Bottom = 'Y';
Front = 'Z';
Back = 'Z';
}
local function selectUVSize(part, normalId)
if typeof(normalId) == "EnumItem" then
normalId = normalId.Name
end
local axis = normalIdToAxis[normalId]
local size = part.Size
if axis == 'X' then
return size.Z, size.Y
elseif axis == 'Z' then
return size.X, size.Y
elseif axis == 'Y' then
return size.X, size.Z
end
end
local function alignTexture(texture)
local texU, texV = selectUVSize(part, texture.Face)
local alignU = string.format("%i", (texU % 2) + .5)
local alignV = string.format("%i", (texV % 2) + .5)
texture.OffsetStudsU = (alignU == '1' and .5 or 0)
texture.OffsetStudsV = (alignV == '1' and .5 or 0)
end
This code determines whether the UV dimensions of the texture are even or odd, and adjusts the OffsetStuds properties accordingly.
I used string.format because I was trying to get a “round to nearest” result, so dimensions with floating point errors wouldn’t snap to the wrong offset. I’m sure there’s a better way to handle this, but math.ceil & math.floor were giving me issues for some reason.

That’s an amazing idea. Is that in Roblox?

Wow this is an amazing feature. The possibilities are endless! I can’t wait to do things like animated skins and stuff for items!

No, not at all… it’s definitely from Call of Duty.

This will be perfect for animating doors, wood grain, and more! Thanks for the update, @zeuxcg!

No, it’s from Call of Duty.
I posted it to reference what we could potentially do now.

This is such a beautiful update. I’ve been waiting for this for my entire lifetime.

Now we need rotations (or 90 degree rotations) for both Textures AND decals.

Energy Sword from Halo, anyone?

I think that’s doable with the forcefield material as well.

I used an image strip to make a gif-like animated texture using the offset, but unfortunately the texture seems to be incredibly low quality even though i uploaded a high quality texture
(Obviously the first gif i tested had to be nick)
EDIT: If anyone wants to try out this gif thing, here’s the script
-- Script by HungryBoy02
local Frames = 18 --Amount of frames in gif
local fps = 24 -- Max 30
local size = script.Parent.Parent.Size -- The gif should be on the front of the part
script.Parent.StudsPerTileU = Frames*size.X
script.Parent.StudsPerTileV = size.Y
while wait(1/fps) do
script.Parent.OffsetStudsU = script.Parent.OffsetStudsU + size.X
if script.Parent.OffsetStudsU > script.Parent.StudsPerTileU then
script.Parent.OffsetStudsU = 0
end
end
(This script should be inside a texture instance inside a part)
And a texture I used:

This is another great addition that ROBLOX has decided to make to take the platform to the next level! The changes allow for even more development possibilities. Keep it up ROBLOX.
I remember trying to make a scrolling effect with textures a few years back and stopped when I couldn’t recreate this feature! This much needed update has finally been fulfilled.
Awesome! Now we can make animated textures!
You don’t have to apologize for the wait, it was worth it! This feature will definitely help with my games when adding details to meshes with textures, I can’t thank you enough…
