1. Could anyone explain how to script an emissive shader to flicker?

   Hello, I study modelling and texturing, not scripting. I have NEVER understood scripting and wasted a lot of time making sure the } or ] is in the right place, so currently I am copy pasting so I can focus on other things. Recently I redid the 'Clock' tutorial using a clock model I made myself. and I have been learning to…

   Hi! Simple question: do you absolutely have to do it via script? If, indeed, you are just "copy-pasting so you can focus on other things", why not try creating a simple animation for the flicker? Lots of random values with linear interpolation between each. Anyway, if you're trying to learn how to actually do it by script,…

   Frankly then you will never get rid of the problem. Spending a few hours and days in coding might safe you a lot of headaches. But if you want to avoid it then the animation system as mentioned is probably a good solution for you. Placing some random keyframes and making it loopable will work.
