[Solved] Change the clone material ?

Hi,
I have issue that i can't change the clone material.

Code (CSharp):

1.     public GameObject prefab;
2.     public Vector3 desroyposition;
3.     Color object_color;
4.     public bool color_check;
5.     // Use this for initialization
6.     void Start () {
7.  
8.         color_check = false;
9.  
10.  
11.     }
12.  
13.     // Update is called once per frame
14.     void Update () {
15.        
16.         desroyposition = gameObject.transform.position;
17.  
18.         if (color_check == true) {
19.             brok();
20.         }
21.  
22.     } // end update
23.  
24.     public void brok(){
25.         GameObject ball1 = Instantiate(prefab) as GameObject;
26.         ball1.transform.position = new Vector3(desroyposition.x,desroyposition.y - 1,desroyposition.z);
27.         object_color = ball1.GetComponentInChildren<Renderer>().material.color;
28.    
29.         object_color = new Color(object_color.r, object_color.g, object_color.b, 10f);
30.         ball1.GetComponentInChildren<Renderer>().material.color = object_color;
31.        
32.         Destroy(ball1, 9f);
33. }

 

Your "brok" method requires "color_check" to be true in order for it to be called. There is no line/condition in this script that sets this variable to true.

 

Yes, there is line 18, and i do that manually.
I need to know why material not fade ?

 

After looking through the method, I think this line is the problem:

Code (CSharp):

1. object_color = new Color(object_color.r, object_color.g, object_color.b, 10f);

Because the alpha value has a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 1 (same for r, g, & b values). You need to set the value to a number less than 1 to decrease the opacity of the object.

 

I changed the value from 10f to 0.3f. but nothing change ?
What else can i do to solve this ?

 

It's working for me.

Also note that you could write this:

Code (csharp):

1. object_color.a = .3f;
2. ball1.GetComponentInChildren<Renderer>().material.color = object_color;
3. // in fact you could write this..
4. Renderer r = ball1.GetComponentInChildren<Renderer>();
5. object_color = r.material.color;
6. object_color.a = .3f;
7. r.material.color = object_color;

Just a little different (no affect on working/not, though..)

 

If the code is working for @methos5k, then the only thing I can think of is this:
You're spawning a new ball once every frame. If the positions of these balls do not change from when they were spawned, then each new ball would be spawning & staying inside the previous ball. Even though the balls are transparent, with so many of them stacked inside of each other, it would give off the illusion that there is one solid-colored ball.

 

You know, I was thinking the same thing. My post originally included "Are you just spawning 1 object?"..
but I erased it

Of course my code was slightly modified, because I don't have all the same settings.. but the relevant portion was working

 

Now i understand why it's not working. There is misunderstand. I'm not using the child object as on the image above. I'm using the parent object. Yes, if i take the child it will work.

I'm trying to make all objects with the parent to change it own material. How to do that ?

 

Just to be clear.. you instantiate a copy of the parent, and then want to modify the colour on each child?

 

Yes.
Also, parent and child objects sharing the same material.

 

Okay, well 1 thing is you'd need to use the plural of get component. Previously we were getting only 1

 

OK, you right. Thank you all for what you did for me.

 

No problem. Take it easy.
