Changing Textures

I know it might not be possible, but I'll ask anyway.

Is it possible (with some scripting magic if needed) to make it so textures can change after a given time.

Like say, after 15 mins some of the textures in one room change to another.

I know it might not be possible but I'm just asking anyway.

i highly doubt that would be possible, though perhaps with proper scripting you could make one brush move up and the other back, or perhaps make the brushes rotate after a certain amount of time.

I was thinking doing that, I'm just wondering if there is a different way.

When I read the first post my exact reply was going to be to use 2 brushes and just move them 1 unit, but Soviet already got there

There are no other ways.

ok, I was just wondering, it would be cool to make the skybox turn from day to night in the middle of the game or something like that.

You are not allowed 2 sky textures in 1 map.

I was guessing that, but it would be cool, wouldn't it?

Indeed. But he wanted 2 skies. Which IS impossible as..
1. Worldspawn settings are used in compile and cannot be changed without recompiling
2. Compiler only allows 1 sky (unless you use custom sky, which will look lame

)

i got an idea though it would probably be too hard to do, but here it is anyway. Ok, you create your skybox, then inside that you create two brushes that can swap out right inside of the skybox. Then you create two custom textures like skies, apply them, then do scripting for interchangableness. Then of course you build your map within those brushes.

I know you can only have 1 sky shader file, not sure if u can incorporate 2 sky textures in 1 shader...i'd guess not but might be worth trying

well you woudln't necessarily have to create an actual sky texture, you could just create a texture that looks like the sky
