Im not sure, but the default material files (like the one for the nadeicon) gives a material overload (1024 material thingies) after 20 degrees of rotating in a default sd bombtimer...

Perhaps you better read the thread then, because Izno is claiming that the letters in the name have to be a specific number. I take it from that that he played around trying to make custom materials files that wouldn't work, and concluded that you have to use the original "hudstopwatchneedle" materials file.

I then suggested that it would be down to finding the original Asset Manager settings IW used, and then you would be able to create your own.

What you are saying contradicts Izno's claims. Ergo, why I thought you must have discovered the original settings used in "hudstopwatchneedle".

mhh, this is my code:

	while(  isDefined( self ) )
	{
		angle = vectorToAngles( self.origin - target.origin ) - self getPlayerAngles();

		self.hud_rot_pointer.x = sin( angle[1] ) * radius;
		self.hud_rot_pointer.y = cos( angle[1] ) * radius;

		for( angle = angle[1] * -1 ; angle <= 0 ; )
			angle += 360;

		self.hud_rot_pointer setClock( angle * 1000 , 360000 , "hud_indicator" , 50 , 50 );

		wait( 0.05 );
	}

and i created as said 2 simple 2d materials named "hud_indicatorneedle" and "hud_indicator"
it rotates and spins without any errors

Serthy is correct and the hudstopwatchneedle material is a bog standard Blend material, nothing special (checked using CODWAW stock GDT) - the setClock function is key, not the material.

If anyone is interested by the way I can release all the stock GDT used for CODWAW (prior to any update however) - I thought I had done so already
