I read this:
http://members.multimania.co.uk/quakeroats/q3map2/shader_manual/apA.htmltried it and it didn't work. Does anyone here have experience with this topic? I want to be able to switch textures by pressing a func_button, as this seems to say is possible.

Doesn't work for what I am doing. I have an invisible bridge that is to become visible for a limited time by pushing a func_button. This is supposed to happen by using the targetShaderName and targetShaderNewName keys. The func_button is connected to a target_delay which makes the bridge invisible again after about 20 seconds.

stumbled on this too and showed that to johnny who also failed to make it work, after some googling back then i found a topic on urt.info saying it was not supported.

That is possible, deathruns do that with traps. Might wanna play deathrun if you do not know what I mean.

from green to red. the button moves in and back a green brush. it does not just appear. could use a ut train? that moves super fast? and have playerclip there always or something. platform could work too. if you have nonsolid textured brushes that moves superfast up there and back.
