I want to make an entity's texture/skin change based on your character’s position to it (e.g. your point of view)

If your character is behind the entity its skin will be "red.jpg", BUT if you're position is in front of the entity its skin is "green.jpg" --> how can you change the texture based on your position?

There should be a script like the “flash the lights” one that could do this?

I am not too sure about it, but can someone confirm if it can be done via alt texture?

-- game dev is fun...but taking up too much time --

I'm sure we could do a calculation to get the triangulation data to tell us if we are in front or behind the entity (simple geometric math), but is there a way to trigger off of this, to make a script that reads in the triangulation data and changes the texture based on a "front"/"behind" triangulation calculation result?

Can someone please confirm this can be done off of a location trigger (e.g. based on where you are relitive to an entity)? Thank you a million--

Alt texture dose not work that way. And as everyone knows, FPSC has no way to input any math coordinates regarding world space.

But good luck
