What type of script is this?

[FlyingSpoon]

I've seen it in a few servers, what type of script is it, what is it using, it is a GIF, Video what? And what function are they using to apply it onto it.

Applying texture to the vehicle. I suppose they split a GIF apart into pngs and created a "progress" of it.

Eg.
Png files = 1.png, 2.png, 3.png

So you create a counter from 1 to 3, and apply that texture to the vehicle.

I see, how would I go about doing it?

Which functions would I require?

Goodluck
It's basically DirectX
Some refer to it as DVO, some refer to it as HLSL.
It's a special .FX file.
There's actually an example on MTA wiki, it took me a long time to figure out how to use it

Not that hard at all. Refer to my post.

Uhm, I haven't really used .fx files before or touched them. Can I have an example maybe?

[NeXuS™]

I've already linked an example above.

I asked you what functions should I use to apply the texture.

And the link to my other post shows how to do it...

NeXuS, he wants HLSL or DVO, so the paintjob moves with the map music or just by itself.
What you provided is for paintjobs that don't move, was an honest mistake

Nobody will do it for you probably, but learn the basics of MTA and you'll be able to navigate the wiki.
Until that point, you should either be asking friends/players to show you how MTA scripting/files work together, it's just climbing the ladder of knowledge.
Once you know certain things you can follow the link I provided in my previous post, it does exactly what you're asking, but you won't get the same effects as the video you provided you have to make them yourself and convert them to MTA.

Applying one picture after an another creates an illusion of a video. (Yes, that's how everything works, your TV, your PC, etc.), so it is what he wants.

Refresh rate is a factor that makes everything work yes
I was just saying that's not how THIS works
Your method could work, but it's nothing compared to what he's actually asking for, these DVO/HLSL in the video he provided above from the ER server, the file sizes are extremely small compared to a .GIF

Edit: DVO/HLSL aren't even images

I know the basics of MTA LUA that's not an issue. It's that I haven't used Shaders before, it's not my strongest sector of MTA Scripting. It's fine, I think I've got the hang of it by playing around with it for a few hours.
