How to change the colour of a unit

[bobo11]

How do I change the colour of a unit? E.g make a troll black or make a human black ... the shade of skin thingy ... it's used in a lot of games such as 300 and many loaps

Open WE -> open Obect Editor (F6) -> Units -> Select unit -> search for ''Art - Tinting Color (Red)'' ''Art - Tinting Color (Green)'' and ''Art - Tinting Color (Blue)''

it looks like this
Art - Tinting Color (Red) 255
Art - Tinting Color (Green) 255
Art - Tinting Color (Blue) 255

change it into this
Art - Tinting Color (Red) 150
Art - Tinting Color (Green) 150
Art - Tinting Color (Blue) 150

and it should look like this ingame

Yes. The color values vary between 0 and 255, 0, 0, 0 meaning a black model, 255, 555, 255 meaning a normally colored model. If the three colors have equal values between 0 and 255, the model has a grayish tint. If red has a greater value, the model will be reddish and so on.

Yes, indeed. The more darker black you want, the more you decrease all three tinting colours.

If you want a unit to change colour ingame without the use of the Art - Tinting, then triggers come in handy:

• Actions
  • Animation - Change YourUnit's vertex coloring to (25.00%, 25.00%, 25.00%) with 0.00% transparency

Please note that the percentage values may be changed to suit your desires.

 

[NhazUl]

Note that in the Object Editor the values are in integers (0 - 255), but in the trigger they are in percentage. So for example 25%, 25%, 75% would be equal to 63, 63, 190.

If he just want the units black, why dont just use an easy trigger like this?:

• Events
  • Time - Elapsed time is 0.01 seconds/Unit is created/blabla
• Conditions
  • Unit - Created Unit is equal to footman/blabla
• Actions
  • Unit - Change color of Created Unit/footman/blabla to Black

 

[NhazUl]

No, this is team color.

 

[Hemske]

No, this is team color.

But he just asked how to change the units color, doesnt he just want it simple black?

But.. why would someone want an exact black/whatever colour? Tint options let you do it to precisely how you would like it, :S.
