Question by nerdares · Aug 02, 2015 at 02:38 AM · meshcolorconfusedchange color

How do you change the color of a simple cube in Unity 5.0?

I've seen all these videos and they are telling me do:

gameObject.renderer.material.color

But the problem is that the material part doesn't show up. Then I came across the fact that this line of code is deprecated, so now I'm stuck. I found something that should have helped:

var rend = GetComponent();

But now what do I do? I just want to change the color of a cube, so please don't make anything really complicated I'm just a beginner.

how come if you set that code to be equal to new Color(102, 153, 255); it wont work?

i mean, this doesn't work: gameObject.GetComponent().material.color = new Color(102, 153, 255);

is there any way to pass a rgb value ins$$anonymous$$d of using Color.nameofcolor ?

mmm i found an answer. It says you need to pass values from 0.0 to 1.0 for new Color(r,g,b) to work :)

Thinking about Frames per Second I would recommend using .Sharedmaterial.color etc
