Hi everyone, I'm new to Xpression and I'm having trouble achieving what I think should be relatively simple. I need to have several template quads animate on to the screen one after the other, but I won't know what materials they need to be until after the previous template quad has animated on. (It's a live show where contestants pick from different options). I have made the scene and have the templates animating on with pauses between them but when I add a material to the templates it does not appear until I take the scene offline and put it back on. Is there a way to force the material update into the scene without taking it offline?

Thanks in advance!

I think you have to use a temporary variable and a script in your main SceneDirector. With a data group in your sequencer, when your main SD is paused, you update your data (name of your next material), and when you resume the pause, your script will be executed. It takes your data, and update the quad with the good material.
