Custom Indicator Strip Help
When I edit the indicator strip textures I can't find the orange version of it, where is it?
It's on a separate animation channel.

Can you explain what that means please? I have both textures made, but idk what to do now.
Make it an animation.

Okay, but where would I find the original orange texture?
Both textures can be found by searching "indicator" and are a few (floor, wall, and corner versions) of the only ones that come up with that. Are you really having trouble locating them?
I'm assuming the in-editor setup of indicator strips is the same as it was in Portal 1. There was a tutorial somewhere about how to make custom indicator lights but fuck if I remember where it was.
But basically, each state of the indicator strip is a different animation frame or channel. So you build the material like you would any other animated texture, but you don't actually have it animate. The entity env_texturetoggle changes the texture of the indicator strip overlay from animation frame 0 (off) to animation frame 1 (on).
Really not sure how to explain it more than that. Making custom indicator strips isn't exactly the most simple thing to do. You'll have to play around in VTFedit, or find whatever tutorial I found. Check Interlopers, Halfwit-2, and the other usual suspects.

Oh I get it, in vtfedit if you press play it plays the animation, sorry, I haven't ever edited animated textures
