How to make meshes blink white, like Metal Slug bosses on hit?

Hello!

I've tried to change the colors32 of the mesh, but it does depends on shader to get working.
I dont know much about shaders, but I do really need an unlit one, as my game does not use shadows. I've tested all unlit shaders, but got no luck... Some shaders messes up with the mesh, inverting its faces/polys, or messing with the draw order of the mesh polys.

May someone help me on this one?

 

Are you trying to make the whole object flash, or just some part of it? If it's the whole object, you just need an unlit shader that uses additive colour, such as the one I just knocked up and attached.

You then just set the material's colour to white to make it flash.

If you want specific parts of it to flash, there are several ways but one of them is indeed using the vertex colours, and you will need an unlit shader that actually renders additive vertex colours. I've knocked one of those up and attached it as well.

 

Thanks Alkis, I will try it right now!

 

Alkis, may I ask something more? The mesh is 100% white while applying the shader. There would be a way to start this mesh as it's original colors, so I would not need to reset the meshes to non-white by code?

 

Yes, the reason it's white is that it applies additive colour and the colour property on the material defaults to white. Add white to any colour and it will saturate to white. To have the original colours just set the colour to black.

 

Alkis, I want to thank you for your help. You saved my game demo!

 

No problem, glad I could help!
