walls = {"wall_1.png","wall_2.png"} -- your wallpapers
num = 1

setTimer(function()
	num = num + 1
	if num > #walls then
		num = 1
	end
end,3*1000,1) -- 3 seconds
    
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,function()
	-- drawing image stuff
	dxDrawImage(0,0,100,100,walls[num]
end)

you can also add smooth transitions using interpolateBetween + render targets

actually, it works, but it's some sort of glitchy and causes some fps drops. @JeViCo

i am using it on a login panel by the way, when i login, it still keeps running @Nexus

@killingyasoon

walls = {"wall_1.png","wall_2.png","wall_3.png"} -- your wallpapers
num = 1

setTimer(function()
	num = num + 1
	if num > #walls then
		num = 1
	end
end,3*1000,0) -- 3 seconds
    
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,function()
	-- drawing image stuff
	dxDrawImage(0,0,100,100,walls[num])
end)

fixed

@killingyasoon You'll have to add an event to remove the eventhandler when the player logins.
