I had to create a simple script to turn a neon sign on and off. I decided to have both versions of the sign in a single texture and changing the offset with a script. Instead of using a timer and using llSetTimeout() instead I opted to pause the script for a small amount of time. The script does not respond when it's sleeping which should be less laggy then the timeout. All i do then at the start of a state is offsetting the texture to show the on/off alternatively.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llOffsetTexture(0.0,0.25,ALL_SIDES);
        llSleep(1.37);
        state off;
    }
}

state off
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llOffsetTexture(0.0,0.75,ALL_SIDES);
        llSleep(.723);
        state default;
    }
}

Hope this is of use to you. See the result in our Higher / Lower game at Badmoon.
