In a patch I am making, I need to change a 3do surface's cel when the 3do character dies, is touched, etc. What cog commands could I use to do this??

you cant. you have to change the whole model. just have different models and use SetThingModel();

Why can't I? The console 3do's have different cels and they alternate randomly..

why dont you look in the cogs that control the console's surfaces for some hints?

I guess I could do that LJ.... I will just look in MOTS.tpl and find the console template

The console with the alternating surface uses MaterialAnim, I believe.

Consoles are surfaces and not 3do, so they rotate, but can't rotate surfaces on 3do, so change the whole thing.

hmm, i have used MaterialAnim(); on a 3do before...

so you just cant use the SetMaterialCell();

MaterialAnim() will rotate every single surfaces that uses the same mats.

It rotates the multi-surfaced mats by material reference and not surface reference, if you make an unique mat for that 3do only, then this can work. But that can be a lot of work for many 3do.

Wait, so could you animate the mats on a 3do, and would you just assign that cog to the 3do's template to get it to work?

If that specific mat that you're going to rotate is used somewhere else in levels, 3do etc, then that will rotate as well.

So to be on the safe side, making a new mat, even by duplicating an existing one but renaming, and rotating it for the 3do you use then it does the trick.

Look in the sequencer cog. It has lights that blink.
