On my website is a tutorial on triggering materials. It doesnt use the same example, but youll get the idea.

Im not super certain on how to make that flag true though, in cases like this I usually just multiply it with a parameter, set that to 1.0, and then in Kismet I can bring it to 0. and 0 zero times a certain effect, or panning speed is 0...

Maybe you could do it using the method from Hourence's site, but instead of using "Set TextureParam" you could try "Set ScalarParam". To turn the checkbox on, you could try setting the the "UsePanner" value to "true" (or perhaps "True") and to uncheck the box, you could set it to "false". I vaguely recall reading about this somewhere but can't remember where... well, let me know if it works (no promises).

Thanks for the post, but Im aware of that method with out the need for Hourences tut.. hes a legend but i know all that.

I remember kismit allows you to change 3 different material instance values... switches was not one of them.. also using a matinee to Set ScalarParam will only affect the mask transparency or blend ,if you will, over the black display material.. so changing that will ether show the logo or show the player a display with nothing on it.

the panner actually affects the display from being ether a full glow, or dim with the effect that you see on the team arrows monitor.

yeh that would be the only way Hourences, but the I havnt worked with materials that much so the work would not be worth the effect.. it doesn't matter.. ill still use the effect but not on lit team logos just the ones with panner already enabled.

Thanks anyway guys :)
