what about everytime u set the texture u set a variable along with it like this: TexName = "TreeFace" Device.SetTexture DirectDrawSurface7 and then u add someway so it avoids it if the texture has remained the same this is a way that i have it in a old engine Sub SetTexture ( NewTexName as Sring, DSurf as DirectDrawSurface7 ) If NewTexName = TexName then Exit Sub ' set our new texture name TexName = NewTexName ' set our texture Device,SetTexture DSurf End Sub just a sample, i hope it helps you... good luck
