color changing

[Caaz Games]

is there a way to change the color of the text?

[makslane]

Change the r, g, b variables.

Change the r, g, b variables.

the text must be white for you to do that accuretly

[Caaz Games]

how would i do that?
EDIT: i found out, but why is b yellow and g is pink and r is blue?

Caaz, they are just like colour filter values so don't imagine that it's a paper where you add colours.

[Sgt. Sparky]

look in configuration where you slect your colours, it displays an R, G, and B value
you can use that as an example
EDIT: tekdino, ever heard of a funny monty python song bout' finland?
acually it was Spamalot(alot like Hblade [no offence.])
*sings* dum de dum de duuum!
finland, finland, finland, that's the country for me!
*continues song*
EDIT AGAIN: no offence, the thought just crossed my mind

if you want to change the color IN the game you'll have to use the script editor the code is something like this:

TextActor>Event>Script Editor:

Code: Select all

r = *number*;
g = *number*;
b = *number*;

you can play with this, for example in draw actor:

Code: Select all

r= (rand(255));
g= (rand(255));
b= (rand(255));

You can also change an actor's animation colours

Hahahahah
Weird song

The r, g and b variables are set to 255 on the actor's creation. If you want to make the actor red, you would put

Code: Select all

g = 0; b = 0;

on some event. If the original colour was red, you won't notice any difference. If it was white, it will now be red. If it was grey, it will now be a dull red. If it was green or blue, it will now be black. Most of the time, you will want it white or grey normally, although for some things you may want another colour. You can adjust the variables for multiple things, for example to make aplayer flash red when he gets hurt, or to have a gradient health icon, where green is full health and red is no health, with a gradient in between. (alternatively you could use an animation, but if you have a lot of states, this will be bad.)
The problem with changing text colour, though is that you can only change the hole actor, not individual characters. There are cases where it would be cool if you could change the colour and font of individual characters. This would probably be not that helpful and annoying to do, but at least there should be a function to change the font of a whole text actor.
