Random colors for particles?
Hello. I know how you can change the color of particles from a script, how can I make it so that every time the effect is instantiated, the colors are different? Thanks.
Sadly due to snow and a lack of a pc nearby, I can't test the following. You could store the particle number in script and then when more particles exist try something like:
particle.color = new Color32(Random.Range(0, 255), Random.Range(0, 255), Random.Range(0, 255), 255);
See http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Particle.html for more info. See http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/ParticleEmitter-particles.html to learn how to get and set particles from the emitter.
I hope this helps :)
Didn't work for me. when i put in with a Get$$anonymous$$eyUp code it only turns white HELP

Beside that, yes you're right, It will most the time return a white color because the Color struct uses values between 0.0 and 1.0
To use byte color values you can use the Color32 struct which converts automatically into a Color struct.
So either use:
// C#
particle.color = new Color(Random.Range(0.0f, 1.0f), Random.Range(0.0f, 1.0f), Random.Range(0.0f, 1.0f), 1.0f);
// UnityScript
particle.color = Color(Random.Range(0.0, 1.0), Random.Range(0.0, 1.0), Random.Range(0.0, 1.0), 1.0);
or
// C#
particle.color = new Color32(Random.Range(0, 255), Random.Range(0, 255), Random.Range(0, 255), 1);
// UnityScript
particle.color = Color32(Random.Range(0, 255), Random.Range(0, 255), Random.Range(0, 255), 255);
