Colour Change

[Levdragon]

Hey,

I was wondering how to make so when you make a unit (Rifleman) it will chose a colour out of blue,green,purple and yellow when you build it.

Also make a 50/50 chance that a it makes footman instead of a rifleman with the colour change too.

If you mean changing that actual color (example: making the rifleman FULLY red) then you should look under animation - Set Unit Vertex Coloring and modify the fields accordingly.

If you mean to change the color (player color) then look under unit, and maybe you'll find what you are looking for. (Maybe something like "change ownership" or "Change Player Color", something along those lines)

Then if you want the other thing (sorry, all of this post is freehand)

Trigger
    Events
        Unit - Blah finishes construction
//Whatever the event is for that =P
    Conditions
//Whatever your conditions are
    Actions
        Set IntegerVar = Random Integer beetween 1 and 100
        If IntegerVar > 50 then
            Unit - Replace Blah with <Footman>

If you get the main idea of what I'm trying to convey. lol

Just experiment and look around until you find something similar to what I have posted.

Hmm, I'll test the code soon I don't have time right now but I still need the colour command, I'll say again-When you create a unit it will change team colour to either blue,green,purple or yellow. one of those 4 colours not all the colours. Please help me with this I've tried to complete it but my attemtps are futile.

Do you know how to write triggers?

Try this:

Event - a unit finishes construction
Condition - boolean: unit-type of (triggering unit) equal to (whatever your building is)
Action- Change color of (triggering unit) to (the color you want it)

Thanks I do know how, but I want a randomized colour so it has a chance to change to one of those 4 colours at random not the same one every time, I belive u've midunderstood me.

> blue,green,purple or yellow

Those are Player 1 to 4 right?


Try this:

Unit - Change color of (Triggering unit) to color of Player(Random number between 1 to 4))

Use color Player index...
