Pair: engineRestoreTXDImage

Added in 1.6.0 r21695

This function links TXD file with an IMG container. This function does not change a model texture immediately. You should use engineRestreamWorld to reload models.

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

  • Method:img:linkTXD(...)

Syntax 

​bool engineImageLinkTXD ( ​img img_file, ​string/​int file, ​int txdID )
Required Arguments
  • img_file: The IMG file you want to link.
  • file: Name or position of the TXD file you want to link.
  • txdID: ID of the texture dictionary you want to link to. Use engineGetModelTXDID or engineRequestTXD to get this value.

Returns

  • bool: value

Returns true if the IMG file was successfully linked, false otherwise, or throws an error if invalid arguments were provided.
