how to color a certain element .. [meshrenderer]

Hello, I am trying to color a certain element of a meshrenderer, but with .color, I made several methods, nothing else works

Code (CSharp):

1.             method1
2.             for (int x = 0; x < obj.Length; x++)
3.             {
4.                 Color color = obj[x].material.color;
5.                 color[2] = redcolor;
6.                 obj[x].material.color = color;
7.             }
8.  
9.             method2
10.             for (int x = 0; x < obj.Length; x++)
11.             obj[x].material[2].color = redcolor;
12.            

 

The name of the color variable in the shader is probably not "_Color", which Material.color uses.

You'll need to look at the material / shader you're using and figure out the actual name, then use Material.SetColor.

 

It's not just about coloring, I'm trying to insert a color in the specific element, the setmaterial and material.color works, but the problem I'm having and inserting that color in a specific element

 

What do you mean by "element"?

 

Perhaps you need to use Renderer.materials and target a material with a specific index on the MeshRenderer?

 

nothing no, it's just a test I'm trying to do. the element is an int, so I'll set a value there in the inspector without having to change it every time in the script

 

So I tried that too, but it works only with material and not with .color
but I haven't found a solution yet

Code (CSharp):

1.     public MeshRenderer[] obj;
2.     public Color redcolor;
3.  
4.     void Start()
5.     {
6.         for (int i = 0; i < obj.Length; i++)
7.         {
8.             Color colors = obj[i].material.color = redcolor;
9.             colors[2] = redcolor;
10.             obj[i].GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().sharedMaterial[2].color = colors;
11.         }

 

I dont know what you're talking about. Can you describe what exactly you are trying to modify?

 

I was trying to change the color of a submesh, but I use getcomponent a lot, and for performance that's bad, do you have any tips to help?

Code (CSharp):

1.         if(index == 0)
2.         {
3.             for (int i = 0; i < obj.Length; i++)
4.                 obj[i].GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().materials[2].color = redcolor;
5.         }
6.         else if(index == 1)
7.         {
8.             for (int i = 0; i < obj.Length; i++)
9.                 obj[i].GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().materials[2].color = bluecolor;
10.         }
11.         else if(index == 2)
12.         {
13.             for (int i = 0; i < bloco.Length; i++)
14.                 obj[i].GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().materials[2].color = greencolor;
15.         }
16.         //below has +30 indexes all with getcomponent '-'
