Re: Offsetting texture position within a material?
Using a float or vector2 param will be much more useful, though. Unless this is going to be a one-off material, it pays to use params and create material instances to apply to your meshes. For one, it's a lot quicker to tweak, and for another, you can apply the same material instance to multiple meshes, and tweak per… -

Re: [HELP] Casting shadows on self-illumination material
You should not use self illuminated materials for the projected textures geometry. There's materials specifically for this.
