Feedback:
I'm always looking forward to get constructive feedback to get even better.
If you used it somewhere, send me a Link to your video of your project or anything else.

 

Just a small bump up.

 

Maybe could have
- nice custom inspector UI?
- Also how about, toggle [x] Play reversed
- Time per color? (if want to have some color longer, some shorther)
- Fading ?
- [x] Use current color as first color?
- [x] Swap materials or texture too (instead of colors only) ?
- Some public bool to disable/enable it from outside script?
- [x] Sync with other color switchers in scene?

Does it run inside update loop? (maybe not necessary..)

 

Hi,
thanks alot for your feedback. Since it's my first script it's nice to have feedback.
Currently the script doesn't run inside the update function.

I like your ideas and will work on them. I'm not sure if material/texture switching makes sense at the moment but i will look into that too.

Cheers.

 

Hi,

i added some new functions in the script.

1.) Enable
Lets you enable and disable the functionality from the Inspector or by script.
2.) Reverse
Will switch backwards from the last to the first color in the list.
3.) Use current as first
Will use the current main color in the first (Element 0) slot.

Hi again,

I have a small update to Version 1.04.

I was working a bit on the Inspector GUI. It's a bit more organzied, so you can see way more color elements and i also added a button to set all intervals at the same time.



Tell me what you think. Constructive feedback is always appreciated.
Cheers

Hey Octo Man,
I assume that color Switcher is using the _color field in the standard shader? Does your script support material instances so you don't need a separate material each time?

 

That's a good question. I havn't tested it yet.
ColorSwitcher goes to the attached materials color field and changes that. I will look into it and tell you if other material instances are effected as well.

 

Color Switcher does not effect the material itself so every Prefab is independant even if they have different settings. means you can assign any material and you don't have to create several different ones. Even the default material can be used.
