Vertex coloring.

[CoLd Bon3]

Hello! I want to ask if it's possible to capture the current vertex coloring values of a unit in a variable. And if it's possible - tell me how to do it, please.

Help is highly appreciated!

the base value of the units vertex coloring is 255,255,255 u can change them but there isn't any function which tells you the numbers
if you want to store it then the base value is 255,255,255 and when you change it save it in an integer variable, so you can use it after. that is all you can do i think

in case in the object editor the coloring is not the default then save that instead of the 255,255,255 and work with it the same way

Max vertex coloring is 255 in the object editor, it is with %s in the trigger editor. But i am searching for a way to get the current vertex coloring values, not the max ones.

object editor not shows the max vertex colorings

it shows what the unit will use in game

if you set it in object editor 0,0,0 the unit will be black but you can change it to a higher amount in game

Yes, but this is off-topic... i am asking how to store the current percent vertex coloring of the unit (via triggers). I need to store the CURRENT values because i have a bleed spell for example, which makes the vertex coloring to 100% (Red), 60% (Blue), 60% (Green), which makes the unit red, just like it's bleeding. So, if i set the blue vertex coloring (while the unit is bleeding) with another spell to lets say - 100 - (5*ability level), the vertex coloring will become 100%, 80% (for example), 60%. Then a big mess occurs...

There is no function to get the current vertex color.

One could create a system the tracks the color. You'd have to manually set the initial values for each unit type. Then hook SetUnitVertexColor and SetUnitVertexColorBJ functions. You need vJASS for this.

For your spell, you could just check whether the unit is already under the effect of the ability or not. If it is, don't modify the color again.
