Scripting particle color and size in v5.3

Hi,

I get a warning in my particle size and color scripting that is now deprecated (particles size and color) and startColor or GetColor() should be used instead.

Is there a way in v5.3 to script particle color and size like in previous versions and if there is which is the equivalent of the size and color properties ?

Thanks

EDIT: The color/size refer to the individual color / size of each particle when grab them with GetParticles method and iterate through the structure.

e.g.

Code (csharp):

1. Particle[i].color
2. or
3. Particle[i].size

where "i" is the iterator running through the particle count of the overall system.

 

I don't recall Particle System ever having just a 'color' property
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem.html
I also don't see a GetColor method anywhere in the docs for particles (only materials)

You sure this isn't some third party system?

 

I use get particles first, i mean the color/size for each particle (not the global setting in the particle system)

e.g.

Code (csharp):

1. Particle[i].color
2. or
3. Particle[i].size

where "i" is the iterator running through the particle count of the overall system.

EDIT: I updated the OP so it is more clear what the question refers to.

 

+1 on this issue.

I'm getting warning but I don't see an alternative API to set the values of color and size on 5.3.3.

It's kind of weird that Unity deprecated this API without adding a different way to achieve the same result.

 

From my tests probably they condensed everything in the startsize / startcolor, so i use those instead. Seems they are no longer start size and color, but the current size and color (which act as start size/color at time zero i guess)

The naming got strange i guess though, since the variable suggest another thing than what is now used for

 

This thread, while not the same topic, can probably help.

This has some nice insight as well, thanks

 

I am confused by the new particle system API. It seems like the color and size properties can no longer be manipulated for individual points/particles. How would I re-write myArray.color = new Color(x, 0f, 0f) or myArray.startSize = 0.1f or Color c = myArray.color; c.g = p.y; myArray.color = c for example?
