Trail.TextureMode

Enum.TextureMode
Read Parallel

This property, alongside TextureLength, determines how a trail's Texture scales, repeats, and moves along with the trail's attachments. Changing this property immediately affects all existing and future trail segments.

Scale and Repetition

When TextureMode is set to Enum.TextureMode.Wrap or Enum.TextureMode.Static, the TextureLength property sets the length of the texture as it repeats across the trail's length.

When TextureMode is set to Enum.TextureMode.Stretch, the texture will repeat TextureLength times across the trail's overall length.

Movement

The TextureMode property also affects the movement of the trail's texture as follows:

  • If set to Enum.TextureMode.Stretch, the texture will stretch out based on the lifetime of the trail, and shrink inwards if the trail's attachments stop moving.

  • If set to Enum.TextureMode.Wrap, the texture will be tiled as the length of the trail changes, but the textures will remain stationary relative to their attachments.

  • If set to Enum.TextureMode.Static, the texture will be rolled out as the attachments move, and they will remain in place until their lifetime is met. This setting is ideal for trail textures that should appear "stamped" where rendered, such as paw prints or tire tracks.
