Trying to color an effect

Post by Zaksmeer »

I have this effect script for hiding and stuff and I would like to color it any color I choose. Here is what I have so far, but having trouble getting it to compile with the custom color.

Code: Select all

Re: Trying to color an effect

Post by Tomi »

okay first thing

Code: Select all

program textcmd_devcome( staff )

   var base_colour := color;

        color := ( 2037 );
You have not defined color anywhere, and you assign to your variable base_colour a non existant variable color.

either do simply var color := 2037; or if you want the color to be chosen by command usage do something like

program textcmd_devcome( staff, color ) and use the command by typing .devcome 2037

After that, you need to insert that color you use to all those effect functions that does not support the color parameter and you need to use PlayStationaryEffectEx for that, check for uo module documentation the difference between those functions.
