Change Color for Material using Anima2D

Sorry for posting again but forum says I cant reply to my own Thread twice.

This seems simple.

I want to change the Material color that Anima2D uses in its Sprite Mesh Instance, programmically.

I want the player to Slowly fade as it gets hit. I can change the color from the editor while its running but cant seem to get to the Material color, its like Anima2D locks it or something.

I have tried renderer.sharedMaterial but it doesn't seem to change it.

EDIT: I Figured it out, thanks.

This is my flow:

public EnemyShaderDamage[] allShaderDamage;

// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
theEnemy = GetComponent<Character>();
allShaderDamage = theEnemy.GetComponentsInChildren<EnemyShaderDamage>();

}


public void HurtEnemy(int damageToTake)
{
foreach (EnemyShaderDamage sd in allShaderDamage)
{
sd.HurtEnemy(damageToTake);
}
}

below is the script that I add to each of my Body parts of the Character:


using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using Anima2D;


public class EnemyShaderDamage : MonoBehaviour {

public SpriteMeshInstance spInstance;
float m_Hue = 0f;
float m_Saturation = 0.0f;
float m_Value = 1.0f;
public float sDecrease;
public float sIncrease;



// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
spInstance = GetComponentInChildren<SpriteMeshInstance>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{

}

public void HurtEnemy(int damageToTake)
{
sDecrease = ((damageToTake * 0.65f) / 100);
m_Value = (m_Value - sDecrease);
spInstance.m_Color = Color.HSVToRGB(m_Hue, m_Saturation, m_Value);
}

public void HealEnemy(int health)
{
sIncrease = ((health * 0.85f) / 100);
if(sIncrease > 1f)
{
sIncrease = 1f;
}
m_Value = (m_Value + sIncrease);
if(m_Value > 1f)
{
m_Value = 1f;
}
spInstance.m_Color = Color.HSVToRGB(m_Hue, m_Saturation, m_Value);
}

public void FullHealth()
{
m_Value = 1f;
spInstance.m_Color = Color.HSVToRGB(m_Hue, m_Saturation, m_Value);
}

public void Alpha(float achange)
{
spInstance.m_Color.a = achange;
}
}

 

Wish you had shared your solution

Yep. Expecting free answer. Begs for help. Solves problem him/herself... *vanishes*

 

solution was probably using material property block. At least I am using it all the time and never had issue with it, so it probably works for anima too.

You can acces the sprite mesh instance component using this

Code (CSharp):

1. GetComponent<Anima2D.SpriteMeshInstance>()

 

I edited my original post with my code: send a message if you need more info.

Post was 6 months old and no one posted to it so I figured everyone already new the answer.

I’d like to know how to change the damn material. I’ve tried everything it seems.
