    Connect the material to the face.

    hello Thank you for you reply , but i want datalinq  to link up with faces and not with materials ,  so i can change over dashboard dropdown . as i change it in dashboard i want to delay the change in xpression by 20 frame . i want to play transition before changing the image .

    oh I would link a text object to the datalinq field you want and then just use dynamic material then.

    sorry for this also because iam using 8.5 xpression and idont have dynamic material , but its ok for now i solve it by visual logic, i just make dummy image which is link with datalink now i can get this image face in visual logic. and make some condition in visual logic which is basically if alpha is equal to 25 then  use this datalinq face otherwise use original one . 

    thank you for your first comment i got idea from that .  
    cheers

    ok sounds good, the script you are looking for would be something like;



    dim HS1 as xpBaseObject
    scene.GetObjectByName("Headshot1",HS1)
    HS1.SetVolatileTextureFile(0,"D:\xxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxx.png")


    or to use a material something like;




    dim box as xpBaseObject
    dim mat as xpMaterial
    Scene.GetObjectByName("Quad1", box)
    engine.GetMaterialByName("blue", mat)
    box.SetMaterial(0, mat)
