control the Tint color of the material

Hello there

Can any body let me know how to control the Tint color of the material which is provided when the material - "shader" is set to "Particles/Additive" Through Scripting ?

thanx

 

Code (csharp):

1. renderer.material.SetColor ("_TintColor", Color);

 

Thanx it really helped

there is a slight issue but that is im unable to set the color as per my choice.

var color = Color.yellow;
particleTrailRenderer.material.SetColor("_TintColor", color);
can i pass values to the color function as per my choice of color.
eg: var color =Color(128,255,225,128);

but its not helping..........
thnx

 

Color values in unity are in the 0-1 range which is why 128,255,225,128 isn't working.

 

Ok thanx il try it out.

 

cool! this helped me too!

 

Helped me too

 

For this to work obviously the shader needs to have a _TintColor property in the shader. (Which this specific shader has).

 

thx!
worked like a charm

 

this helped me a lot.
thanks!

 

same here, that was very helpful.
many thanks.

 

Hello -

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to animate the Tint Color's alpha channel? Not the color......Thanks for any help.

 

you can use
Color.color = new Color(xxxf/255f, xxxf/255f, xxxf/255f, xxxf/255f)
rather than using 0 to 1.

 

If you want to set colors in 0-255 manner, you may use Color32 instead of Color.
