Resolved How to blink color in sprite using 'Replace Color' with Shader Graph

Hi all.

I've started trying to figure out Shader Graph a bit with the goal of being able to have my sprite's weapon blink between a chosen color and it's default color. The weapon is not a seperate sprite but is part of the player sprite.

I've checked out some tutorials online and managed to get pretty far. Through the shader I can now swap the weapon color using 'Replace Color' node. However, this now just means that the weapon's color is swapped always. I want to be able to control the color swap by turning the color replacement on and off by simply communicating with a Vector1 that sets the opacity of it or something. I've tried several ways to achieve this but I can't get it right at all.

My current shadergraph looks like this:


I've tried setting step nodes and multyplier nodes into the 'to' field of the color replacer but I just can't get it right.

Anybody got any idea's how I should set this up so I'm able to control when the color is replaced?

Thanks so much! Cheers!

 

Figured a way to do it using the Gradient node and connecting a vector1 to that. Now I can switch between flash color and original color. Not the way I intended it (flash between flash color and invisible) but this works fine for now.
