This is an editing question, and one thats been asked.

Search for it in the editing forums.

This would only be in art if you had something to show ... like ... art. This is blatantly an editing question.

To answer your question (which I suggest gets moved to the HL2 forum and this answer marked correct, because this IS NOT covered for HL2)

You have to edit the VMT for the texture.

In an area create a new block of code under "Proxies" (if it doesn't already exist) 

"TextureScroll"

{

                     "texturescrollvar" "$basetexturetransform" //tells the proxy what texture to move.

                     "texturescrollrate" .5                     // This is how fast to scroll the texture.

                     "texturescrollangle" 270                   //this is the angle at which it will scroll.

 }


I got that from this tutorial, which also goes into some neat water tricks!

The "$basetexturetransform" is a variable, as is the ".5" and "270".

[EDIT]
Apparently, this has been covered here.

? quoting warlord
ive searched around but could not find it.

It is if you type "Scrolling" into the search window.

[EDIT] It can be moved but since its origin wasn't within the editing forum, there is no option for "correct"

Tis why I didn't move it yesterday. I was hoping the author would repost it himself to keep the database straight.

Anyway, I moved it.

i see ive searched for scroll and scroll texture and havent found these articles, thought scrolling would be covered by scroll, but anyway i read them and now it works thx

you can delete this if you want since it is useless
