Wait, what I thought was the green skull is the yellow skull? A bit confusing lol Cause after that, the game progresses normally, it's just that it's too tough early on

#GAME MAKER STUDIO PALETTE SWAP HOW TO#

It's like riding a bike without your hands while learning how to ride it for the first time. it's too overwhelming for a start :c It's fine when you get used to it, but you first need to get used to it. A lot of different blobs and skulls are thrown at you right from the start. The difficulty curve is not quite adapted to the complex mechanic. Not very intuitive to say the least also lots of text, which is unavoidable in this case since at least all information is pure information still a mouthful though.

The manual would have been easier to read if the text was just one color above a one color flat surface. One pixel wide font + 1 pixel wide white outline with a lot of contrast (huge differences in values) going behind the text makes it tedious to read. It really didn't make me want to read it, to be perfectly honest. You should be able to use this to create some nice effects in your games now like a character flashing when it’s hurt.The help manual. So that’s a nice way to make your sprite invisible, but still enabled. Your sprite would be its normal colour, but it would be transparent, because we turned the alpha all of the way down. Likewise if we changed our colour property like this: lor = new Color (0, 1, 0, 1) So in other words, if you run your game and test it now, it will tint your sprite red, because we told it to be:

It looks like this: lor = new Color (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) Ĭonfusingly, instead of being a value between 0 and 255, like it was in the editors colour changer, now we have to give it a value between 0 and 1 for each colour property, 0 being no colour, 1 being full colour for that property. This literally just means we’re changing those same colour properties from earlier, but with code.

Then we change the color property of our Sprite Renderer by creating a new Color. If you’re confused with how that works, read the Unity documentation on it here it’s helpful. Now in Update() we first of all check to see if the key C is being pressed on the keyboard. If your sprite is in a child game object of where you attached this script, instead of GetComponent, use GetComponentInChildren like this: sprite = GetComponentInChildren() Then in Start() we get the component for the Sprite Renderer, so this way we can access it’s color property. The very first thing we do is create a variable to store the Sprite Renderer, and we call this sprite. Then create a new script called ColourChange and add the following code: SpriteRenderer sprite void Start() (Color is the American spelling whereas colour is the Australian spelling).Ĭreate a scene with a game object that has a sprite renderer / sprite attached. To change the colour in a script, you will need to get the Sprite Renderer in your code, and then we can easily change it’s color property.

If you want to completely change colours, you’ll have to start with a white sprite, otherwise it will just tint. Now unfortunately if you turn blue and green off, the sprite won’t be all red, just tinted red.

You’ll notice also that the colours range from 0 to 255, with 0 being no colour and 255 being full colour. Now if you click on “Color”, you can manually change the sprites transparency in the colour changer by turning alpha down to 0, or tint the sprite by modifying how much red, blue and green is in the image.Ĭonfusingly, if it’s set to all white, the sprite is its normal colour, while all black will make the sprite black. You’re sprite is contained in a component called the Sprite Renderer.
