Unit Tint

[Xebarsis]

I want to modify the tint of a unit without using triggers; could someone please explain how to do this?

Le bump.

The only way I have been able to do it is with the Actor Events. To do it, select the Actor of the unit you want to tint, then open up the Event - Events + property (or the Actor Event on the Event tab if your using the table view). Now you need to change the tint of the unit when it is created. So Right-Click > Add Event. Set the Msg Type to Unit Birth, and source name to the unit you are tinting. Leave the Sub Name as Any. Now set the action Msg Type to Set Tint Color and change the colour of the tint. The HDR Multiplier tends to give the unit a glow effect.

Thanks again Dave! I'd love to give you some more rep, but it won't let me.
