Change Colour

I got several of an object, and I wanna change the colour of one of the objects to another colour =/

Ex:
I got 5 OBJECTA
I wanna change OBJECTA with alterable Value A = 1's colour without it does to the rest.

Any help? :3

if you mean 'replace colour' then its impossible.

Replace colour only works with cloned objects, not duplicates. The duplicates of an object all use the same shared graphics, so if you replace colour for one, you replace colour for all.

Replace colour isn't hugely useful anyway, because it only replaces the exact colour match. So you can't replace all shades of red with shades of blue, for example, without about 100 separate actions.

Yeah, I went here 'cuz the "replace colour" didn't work =/

I thought using overlay Redux or something could do magic? (I don't know much about that object :3)

It would seem easier to use active objects and make different directions be different colors. Then you can change direction which will change the color.

I'm already using all direactions :3

What about a different animation sequence? There are quite a lot.

There are a few work arounds to this - as the post above this says use a different animation, or even use a brand new object (although probably not the best way)

You could also just use specific "frames" of a direction - frame 1 is one colour frame 2 is another etc, although it depends on your object and how many frames each object has as this can get messy.

Or perhaps you could wait for the Ink Effect SDK to be released, so you or someone else can make an ink effect that can do this. Ink effects can be applied to specific instances of an object.

This Ink-Effect-Object sounds quite powerful. I hope it will become equally versatile as the ink-effects you can apply in flash.

Does anyone know when it will be released?

Uggh. I got about 15 animations and 9 frames for each animation. It'll be hell if I need an object in 4 diffrent colours XD

The INK Effect SDK? Now THAT sounds amazing! More info?

Ah forget my idea then <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> lol wait about for the SDK

Yves said here that the ink SDK won't be out for several months <img src="/center/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> They're putting priority over other things first such as Vitalize, and I think a revamp of the utilities such as Install Maker. Plus I think Yves is taking a long break soon.

I'm sure Yves has earned a break. It's hard to wait though...

I looked at Andos' tutorial on how to colour change, but it only works with 1 object &gt;_&gt;

Anyone think they can manage to make it to several?
(Example at his homepage)

It depends on what you need to change color and why. Here's an example that may help you.

It makes me cry--the new ink effects and extension SDKs were half of why I wanted MMF2.

(The rest was the improved interface, layers, and realtime rotation/sizing. The fact that collisions can't take place across layers also made me cry.)

I also whined about the collisions. I hope they will add this
feature if enough people say they need it.
So everybody: START CRYING!

Please Clickteam,

could you do something to this replace color system. I mean it's not fun that it changes the color to all of the objects. I would just want to change the color to one object.

There is zero chance that we could implement this feature soon. A duplicated object is not a clone, it's by design. Only clone objects have their own images. If you want to change the colors in a unique object, clone it and use qualifiers.

Yves.

Will ink effects have parameters? What I mean is, if there's just a few ink-effect specific parameters, it would be easy to create for an example a hue/saturation/brightness ink effect, where hue, saturation, and brightness can be changed in realtime with the parameters, like transparency can now.

It would be up to the ink effect programmer to determine what the parameters should do.

This way, you could from the event editor give different parameters to different instances of the same object, thus making them have different colours.
