How to generate a random color?
I tried to generate a random color like this:
Color background = new Color(
(float)Random.Range(0, 255),
(float)Random.Range(0, 255),
(float)Random.Range(0, 255)
);
But I always get white as result.
What am I doing wrong?
As suggested by Dragate, the Color struct needs values between 0 and 1, as indicated in the documentation
Representation of RGBA colors.
This structure is used throughout Unity to pass colors around. Each color component is a floating point value with a range from 0 to 1.
In order to use values between 0 and 255, you need the Color32 class :
Color32 background = new Color32(
Random.Range(0, 255),
Random.Range(0, 255),
Random.Range(0, 255),
255
);
// Color version
Color background = new Color(
Random.Range(0f, 1f),
Random.Range(0f, 1f),
Random.Range(0f, 1f)
);
UnityEngine.Random.ColorHSV() generate Random color
Color background = new Color(
Random.Range(0f, 1f),
Random.Range(0f, 1f),
Random.Range(0f, 1f)
);
This is the simplest: { // Pick a random, saturated and not-too-dark color GetComponent().material.color = Random.ColorHSV(0f, 1f, 1f, 1f, 0.5f, 1f); }
Sweet AmmarSalim..i just needed to specify the renderer when attached to my gameObject. But yeh your code worked. Big up ! Thanks
obj.GetComponent().material.color = Random.ColorHSV(0f, 1f, 1f, 1f, 0.5f, 1f);
Maybe try this:
string seed = Time.time.ToString ();
System.Random random = new System.Random (seed.GetHashCode ());
Color background = new Color(
(float)random.Next(0, 255),
(float)random.Next(0, 255),
(float)random.Next(0, 255)
);
