Control the time transition Fading between colors
Hi, I am having problems trying to fix this script...
I want to control the time of transition between the colors. But I don't know why is not working the fading. Now I can change the Color without problems,
Please any advice is more than welcome.
var startColor : Color;
var myColors : Color[];
var NextColor : int = 0;
var fadeSpeed : float = 3.5;
function NextMaterialUsed()
{
GetComponent.<Renderer>().material.color = Color.Lerp(startColor,myColors[NextColor],Time.deltaTime * fadeSpeed);
if(NextColor < myColors.length-1)
NextColor += 1;
else
NextColor = 0;
}
Hi Paco,
IMHO you should try to have stateless helpers that's gonna be easyer to debug and maintain. ie something like :
int GetBaseColorIndexFromTime(float time, int numColors, float fadeSpeed)
{
return min( (int)time/fadeSpeed, numColors) ;
}
Color GetColorFromTime(float time, Color[] myColors, float fadeSpeed)
{
int srcColorIndex = GetBaseColorIndexFromTime(time, myColors.Length -1, fadeSpeed);
int destColorIndex = min( srcColorIndex + 1, myColors.Length -1) ;
float lerpFactor = (time % fadeSpeed) / fadeSpeed;
return Color.Lerp(myColors[srcColorIndex], myColors[destColorIndex], lerpFactor );
}
PS: draft code, but should not be too far from actual c#
Hope it helps :)
