Thanks for your research!
Ive added a script controleur and it works,
awesome.
Thanks a lot for the effort,
Ill send you the result when it will be out of NDA (its a contest).

We were tasked with animating a wall of small panels at one point. We tried several solutions and finally turned to Bobo for advice. You might find this thread helpful.

Neuro69 – I’m missing something witht the script controller. I assigned the rectangle to a node that surrounds my tiles, Assign Node. I assigned thisobj to one of the first tile before arraying it, Assign Node. I have a material assigned to the tiles, bitmap in diffuse slot, planar uvw covering the whole area of tiles.
–Type error: Call needs function or class, got: undefined.
I’m pretty sure this relates to how i assigned the mat variable. I used Assign Controller and assigned it to the bitmap map.

Sorry for the novice problems…
Yes, it would appear to be about the mat-variable, as the variable “info” is undefined. I used Assign Controller, then found \Objects$object\mat-name\Maps\Diffuse Color:map and selected this. The UVW is not necessary, that was just an earlier idea; the rectangle defines the “UVW-mapping”. The Diffuse Map must be a normal bitmap. If you’ve done this correctly, then I’m not sure… haven’t exactly done any debugging.
