How do I change the startcolor.r in code?
Hi,
I need to have a particle system change slowly from a predetermined color ,in an array, to white. I thought the easiest way to do this might be have the startcolor r, g, b values in update like this.
this.particlesystem.startcolor.r--;
But it won't compile. Can anyone help me?
is it possible you need to do this
temp = particleSystem.startColor
temp.r = .. change that or whatever
particleSystem.startColor = temp
Whereas in Javacript, you can often "just change" parts of vectors such as that
@Gazer, hey, you need to TIC$$anonymous$$ AN ANSWER please to close the question. Pls don't forget and see you on the next question.
how about this? So you can transition form one color to another.
public Color StartColor;
public Color Endcolor;
Color particelcColor;
float progress =0;
void Update() {
progress += Time.deltaTime * 0.5f; //speed modifier
particelcColor= Color.Lerp(StartColor,Endcolor,progress); //lerp the colors
particleSystem.startColor = particelcColor; //assign them
}
particleSystem.startColor = new Color (1, 1, 1, 1);
Ok, that tells me how to access the r,g,b. Thanks. But how do I change it slowly? Using Time.deltatime doesn't seem to work. Thanks again for helping me.
The maximum value of r, g, b, and a is 1.0, so you need to squish your numbers into that range.
color.r = ($$anonymous$$athf.Lerp(1.0f, 0.0f, Time.deltaTime / 10f)
would fade over ten seconds from the start of the game, while this one lets you start the fade at some other time:
float startTime = Time.realTimeSinceStartup;
...
color.r = ($$anonymous$$athf.Lerp(1.0f, 0.0f, (Time.time - startTime) / 10f)
