# llSetTexture

*LSL function*

```lsl
void llSetTexture(string texture, integer face);
```

- `string texture`: Name of a texture in the prim's inventory, or a UUID.
- `integer face`: Face number or ALL_SIDES.

- Delay: 0.2 s
- Energy: 10

Applies the Blinn-Phong diffuse texture to face of the prim.

Sets the [Blinn-Phong](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/PBR_Materials#nomenclature-changes) diffuse **texture** of this prim's **face**.

```lsl title="How to use" frame="terminal"
llSetTexture("", 0);
```

## Caveats

- [Inspect](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Inspect) does not show texture information (like [creator](/functions/llGetInventoryCreator/))

## Examples

<summary>Example 1</summary>

```lsl
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        // the first texture alphabetically inside the same prim's inventory
        string texture = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, 0);

        // set it on all sides of the prim containing the script
        llSetTexture(texture, ALL_SIDES);
    }
}
```
