Tricky little chameleon!

I need a cog that when a player touches a surface (any surface in a level other than a 3D0) his character model becomes covered with that surface's texture. And when he touches it again, he gets his regular skin back. But if he touches another surface while already a different surfaces texture, he turns into the second surface's texture. Kinda like a chameleon.

I don't think the way you are describing is possible (or atleast not practical), there are no cog verbs to change mats of 3do's.

What I might try is something like make a skin that just consists of translucent mat's, not completely see thru but close. I think the effect would be like the camoflage in the movie Predator, you would just see some shimmering when the person is moving or see their outline when close.

Yeah, that would work. You could even animate it, perhaps scroll it, and animate it by material.
