Re: Cool Idea that goes hand-in-hand with SurfaceGUI's.

I think it would be very cool if we could play YouTube videos on the surface of a part.

This widens ROBLOX creativity immensely, from movie theatres that actually show films, to TV's in houses that users can flip through channels!

I actually had this idea long before SurfaceGui's came out.

Since SurfaceGui's could do this if this was implemented for GUI objects rather than a Part-specific feature, it would be better if this was for GUI objects. Users would be able to watch videos on a part, and in a 2-dimensional GUI interface on a screen this way!

I understand if this feature is difficult to implement, but it would be very cool. Maybe it could use the new HTTPService somehow too :P. There are many ways to add this, but any way would expand ROBLOX creativity and looks by a lot, although I would guess that this feature would be difficult to code.

Also, some YouTube videos may be too inappropriate/scary for ROBLOX. Maybe there could be some moderation system for these videos as well, like you have to upload the video to ROBLOX and get it approved, like the 30-second commercials we can put on games. Of course if this is the case, there could be a Robux price you have to pay per video so that the ROBLOX site doesn't get too much videos.

Support or not, if not tell me why. Thanks!

Bump.

TL;DR verison:

It would be cool to have a feature that lets you play YouTube videos on the surface of bricks. Since SurfaceGui's came out, it would be nice to have this be part of GUI's since we could do that with SurfaceGuis. This allows users to create real ROBLOX TV's/Movie theatres.

For a game which cannot even handle animated textures?

There is nothing in ROBLOX that is designed for animated textures yet. Decals are made to have 1 image on a brick, not to cycle through even though it's doable.

That's a great idea though, to have a new object specifically made for animated textures :P.

I don't know if that will be possible. But, you can make trons (different decals) so it's a slideshow.

Ex-BC, OBC. Happy 5k posts to me!

Support. Because you could also make money showing video's. You could make a theater, and charge people 20 Tix to watch the movie for example.

Support! This idea can also benefit the movie makers of Roblox.



Speaking of Roblox movies, has anyone saw Out Of Bloxy Cola?
