Resolved How to Change the Alpha of a Material In Code

Sup everyone,

I have a loading screen in my game which I want to fade out when I tell it to. I started by making an object for which I attached a material. I changed the rendering mode to fade and by changing the alpha in the Albedo section I can get a variable alpha manually.

My question comes to changing it in the code. I've been doing the following:

Code (CSharp):

1. public Material myMaterial;
2. public float alphaChange = 255;
3.  
4. void Update()
5. {
6.     alphaChange -= 50;
7.  
8.     if (alphaChange < 0)
9.     {
10.         alphaChange = 0
11.     }
12.  
13.     myMaterial.color = new Color(0, 0, 0, alphaChange);
14. }

This has not worked at all. How am I supposed to change the alpha?

 

Code (CSharp):

1.     public Material myMaterial;
2.     public float alphaChange = 1.0f;
3.    
4.     void Update()
5.     {      
6.         if (alphaChange > 0)
7.             alphaChange -= 0.01f;
8.    
9.         myMaterial.color = new Color(0, 0, 0, alphaChange);
10.     }

 

Oh!!! So you use the 0 to 1 in the code. Not 0 to 255. Thanks zulo3d!

 

yeah the 255 is for

Color32

,

Color

uses 0.0-1.0.

As far as I tried, modifying a

Color32

doesn't work, but

Color

always works just fine
