I need some help with using ANIMDEFS

[OnionTaco22]

I have been trying to make a new switch texture however i can't get it to work. I have the two textures named SW1STRGR and SW2STRGR as they are based off of the STARGR1 texture.

I looked at the ZDoom wiki page for ANIMDEFS and wrote some code that looks like this: 

SWITCH SW1STRGR ON PIC SW2STRGR tics 105 SOUND dsswtchn OFF PIC SW1STRGR tics 105 SOUND dsswtchn

 

I have changed around some stuff in it but I cant get it to actually change the texture.

GZDoom does not show any error when I launch it, so I feel like it's something to do with the tics value but I'm not sure. Also the switch sound plays when I interact with it.

I also kind of had trouble when setting up a switch in ANIMDEFS, but at some point I went with this

switch sw1met1 
on sound switches/normbutn 
pic sw1met1 tics 2 
pic sw2met1 tics 2 

off sound switches/normbutn 
pic sw1met1 tics 2 
pic sw1met1 tics 2

code that I probably copied from some other wad, I can't remember, and it works exactly like it should be.

 

just replace "sw1met1" and "sw2met1" with your textures and you're done!

(you can also change the "switches/normbutn" sounds if you want to use custom ones)

Thank you! It did work. Although just a small question, how long is a tick? It seems closer to a second than I thought it would.

1 tic is 1/35 seconds
