flex framerate value. Option for a flex wait value before switching to original mat would also be nice. Thanks in advance.

this will do it but not exactly the way you say. i dont know how to change a mat on a 3do. so i did it another way. instead of changing the mat on the 3do it changes the 3do of the thing then contiues to animate the mat on that 3do. works the same but you will have to make copies of the same 3do and put your different mats on each one. then list the mats and the 3dos in the cog.

Hrm, I'll give it a shot, but I'm not sure how it's going to effect the other cog that controls the movement of the 3do...

You will have to change the whole 3DO.

Changing the 3do should cause no problems with the control of the object - it's all the template and the thing number that handles that.
