Just so you know: yes i am aware of the TextureAnimation, but i can only make them move in one direction.

As you said, unless you rotate the plane itself, you can't (iirc).
Texture animations work by transforming UV coordinates and thus puts limitations on possible animations.
The most common workaround for this to my knowledge, was animating the texture multiple times on the separate triangles of the oval shape, in a circular fashion.
Another option would be ribbon and particle emitters.

Thank you for the answer. (At least someone answered.....) Look's like i have to use option two or something completely different.
