I don't know if this question has been asked before, but here goes: Do the graphics on switches that are activated from 3D sectors not animate? I have set up the animation properly in the ANIMDEFS lump, placed the texture properly on the dummy sector, and know that the switch works. However, the texture just does not animate.

No. They are not physically on the wall and trying to animate them would cause secondary problems so it isn't implemented.

However, the effect you want can be done, and I have done it a number of times.

Instead of using normal (0) flag values for the 3D floor line, use flags 16 or 32. These flags tell GZdoom to put whatever texture is on the upper or lower side (repectively) of the containing sector lines on the face of the 3D floor. That way the floor can have different textures on different faces and, more importantly in this case, when you use the face of the 3D box, the texture on the upper/lower side changes (even though it isn't visible) and this gets transferred to the face of the 3D floor.

Works perfectly. Thanks, Boss.
