Question by Xzapo · May 01, 2015 at 04:59 PM · c#gameobjectmaterialcolor

Changing Game Objects Color

So I am currently just trying to change a game objects color to red, and I've been looking around on how to do so and I found this..

pickedNumber.gameObject.transform.renderer.material.color = new Color(4, 5, 5, 100);//C#

Now the issue is I don't really know how this works and I'm getting material.color underlined, because UnityEngine.Competent does not contain a definition for "material". Since I don't really know how this works and what the issue is if someone could explain this to me that would be awesome!

I assume you are using Unity 5. Now in Unity 5 you can't just access the components like properties, you have to look for them. you need to find your object's renderer component, then you can reach it's material to change the material's color property. So change it to:

 pickedNumber.gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.red;
