Yes it is possible if your shader has the fromEntity keyword. There's even an example here:

Look right at the very bottom of the document.

some questions:
1. what is a B-Model
2. whats ment by <fromEntity> -> where/ how to use it
3. if there is fromENTITY then a entity has to be used for this?
Practically:
I build up a brush called "box" - > give it a texture called "face1"
->some values must be set equal with that texture "face1"
i build up a trigger reacting at bullets "boxtrigger"
-> the trigger is informed about that value and changes it at hit to the next one
i hit that trigger -> the texture on the box changes to "face2"
-> the trigger changes the value of "face1" to the value of "face2"
if i hit again it changes to "face3" and so on...
hmh
with that example i didnt understood much - only that there are some commands/keys reacting with shaders. (maybe a language prob)

I don't know if this will help, but it is an example of a texture changing brush. Make a shader using the below text and apply the texture it to a worldspawn brush. After you compile, test the map and you will see the movie (slideshow) playing on the brush.
Code: Select all
textures/custom/my_movie
{
qer_editorimage textures/mohmenu/briefing/briefing3a.tga
qer_keyword special
nomipmaps
nopicmip
cull none
surfaceparm carpet
surfacelight 2000
{
animMap .15 textures/mohmenu/briefing/briefing3a.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/bootcamp.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/airborne.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/bombers.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/portphoto.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/invasionfleet.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/shoreguns.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/convoy.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/battleship.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/higginsboat.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/depot.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/omahalanding.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/defeat.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/mannon.tga
rgbgen global
blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
}
{
animmap .15 textures/mohmenu/briefing/briefing3a.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/bootcamp.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/airborne.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/bombers.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/portphoto.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/invasionfleet.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/shoreguns.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/convoy.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/battleship.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/higginsboat.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/depot.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/omahalanding.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/defeat.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/mannon.tga
rgbgen identity
blendfunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
}
}

Well you'll need frameFromEntity in this case, but I'm not sure if mohaa actually supports this. The keyword should be placed in the animMap stage.
Example:
Code: Select all
textures/custom/my_movie
{
{
animMap .15 textures/mohmenu/briefing/briefing3a.tga textures/mohmenu/briefing/bootcamp.tga
frameFromEntity
}
}
Then in your script type something like this:
Code: Select all
$trigger waittill trigger
$box shader frame 2 // switch to next frame

it means:
1)there's no texture
2)shader is wrong

The console will tell you what's wrong (look just below cm_loadmap).

it shows it doesnt know command "framefromentity" i used your example.
Maybe it needs some additions?
when i remove it alls ok but not triggerable anymore
hmh
maybe only useable for quake not in mohaa?

Only usuable in FAKK2 I think
Quake doesn't have a scripting language

k thx Dr. JV
- how is it used for flags?
there is a map i think push city hall?!? where the flags at triggerin change their colour/sign -> texture? . Is this only reserved for flags or global usable anywhere ? - when its possible plzzzzz tell me how.
Im standing still at one point with my map its some kinda frustrating.
I could also use multiplesided circle with different textures which turns one side up/down each time the trigger is used - but this seems
a little bit unprofessional i think.

Maybe they removed the flag and spawned a different flag model instead?
You could also try a dynamic light
