This is a modification of Conitec's material.wdl script(you don't have to use it with the templates). The point of the mod was so you could have
different global material settings for each level. The major change was turning the "_mat_setup" function into an action and allowing the level designer to use the skills of the entity that action gets assigned to to influence the material values. You can still affect individual entities by using normal local materials(my.material = ???;").
Anyway, I consider this one of my most important scripts in my project, but not so much so that I can't share it. Simply replace the _mat_setup function with the action below and it's ready for use. Assign that action, and set the appropriate skills. It would probably be beneficial to DEFINE each skill to make it easier to comprehend.

Also, note that you can toggle OFF the materials panel with the "R" key instead of the ESC. This prevents the level from exiting when you want to turn it off. Simply alter the "if(key_esc)" part at the beginning of the "_mat_adjust" function with the code below:
Code:
if (key_r)
{
_matset_txt.visible = off;
freeze_mode = 0;
return;
}
