This question seems dumb, but how do you make a unit progressively switch through colors every few seconds? Also, how do you manipulate textures or create new ones?
For the first question there are several methods which usually involve a blend in duration and several named timers. For the second question look at the link in my signature.

How would you get timers working in Events - Event+? I don't understand how the two timer fuctinos work here. But thanks for the textures link!
In short have a named timer than when it expires creates the timers for the other colours with a pass chance term and when a timer expires it also sets the tint colour to a specific colour.
A good example of a timer system is the brutalisk roar of the brutalisk Unit actor.

Basically it's all explained in there. Instead of fading the actor, you just make it tint. More colors = more timers.
