Question by Jacobsc · Nov 30, 2019 at 05:45 PM · materialmaterialschildchildrenmaterial color

Can't get children/Color not part of material

So I have a 3d game with a player that consists of an empty object with three children, one black engine and two body parts that need to change color.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Collection : MonoBehaviour
 {
 
 
     public Transform tForm;
     public GameObject gObject;
     private bool isGreen = false;
     private bool isRed = false;
 
     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {
         //green
         if (other.gameObject.tag == "GreenCube")
         {
             other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
             isGreen = true;
 
         }
         //red
         if (other.gameObject.tag == "RedCube")
         {
             other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
             isRed = true;
         }
     }
 
     private Color childColorGreen;
     private Color childColorRed;
 
 
 
     public void ChangeColor ()
     {
         childColorGreen = new Color(0, 0, 1, 1);
         childColorRed = new Color(1, 0, 0, 1);
         
         if (isGreen == true)
         {
             gObject.FindComponentsInChildren<Material.Color>() = childColorGreen;
         }
 
         if (isRed == true)
         {
             gObject.FindComponentsInChildren<Material.Color>() = childColorRed;
         }
     }
 
 }

Also, how do I get specific child? I need two child from "Player;" I need "Body" and "Front."

Try something like this....

 transform.Find("Body").gameObject.GetComponent<Material>().Color = childColorGreen;

Same idea for Front.

Your script seems like it should work but I get this error:

Assets\Scripts\Player\Collection.cs(42,72): error CS1061: '$$anonymous$$aterial' does not contain a definition for 'Color' and no accessible extension method 'Color' accepting a first argument of type '$$anonymous$$aterial' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Thats what I get for writing off the top of my head :)

Change Color to color (lower case c) and try it again.

Thanks. I got no more errors but for some reason, they won't switch color. I think I don't have the right material for them or something.
