How do you get a moving object on the skin?

EG:

Either, an icon which has various states (But is static on the skin)

or

an icon which moves from left to right / up and down across the skin...


I know how to get a single icon in a grid... but i dont want that because i cant change it at runtime...


anyone know how?

What i want to do is add a sundial to my skin, perhap having a spinning icon (This i can create) or an object that moves from left to right across the skin...

but most importantly i need to be able to change the icon at runtime...


Anyone have Any ideas?

A Grid or a 2nd Map can help you.

@Jemai: There is no possible way as of yet that a second map will work. Try it, it is not possible at the moment to the best of my knowledge.

@OP: You would essentially need to update that sundial icon whenever needed for the next frame. Fortunately, this is possible with winset(). Or have it in a grid *shrugs*

Um, change it how? Tried output()ing to that particular cell?
