Using a timer as a speed scale i have created a material that slowly shuts off, then blinks back on. However it needs to glow. I have tried to place two hologram material over each other shifting opposite direction, but again, it blinks. Any ideas?

Instead of using a timer, use a tag sensor with the tag on a block moved back and forth on a piston.

Don't forget to change your material's Input Action from On/Off to Dimmer instead.

Inverted Timer on Forward/Backward input action and connect output of timer to it's input This works and it's probably the easiest method, but IMO the glow effect doesn't look as good as the moving tag/tag sensor set up. The timer method actually turns the light out completely for a second, while using the tag method allows the light to dim without actually going out.

Well yeah, but in most cases, you can just set the "off" colour to a darker version of the "on" colour, and it'll mostly do the same thing. I can think of a few times when the tags/sensors could come in handy though. EDIT: I ARE A SNIPAR

The timer method actually turns the light out completely for a second, while using the tag method allows the light to dim without actually going out. You can set the OFF state of a light to a different value than 0% brightness. Or, you can wire the output of the timer through an OR gate. The other input of the OR gate receives a signal from a battery set to a low value, which will act as the bottom value of the light. This OR/Timer/Battery combo is what I usually use for car engines (sound input set to 'change sound&apos: the engine is always on.

Thanks for all the input! I also figured out that you can use two timers, two toggles, two or switches and a combiner. I also tried the other ways mentioned also, and they also work... it shows that there is more than one way to do things! =)
