How do I change the player's colour?

by Mark Rose · in Torque Game Engine · 09/05/2001 (8:39 am) · 3 replies

Heya!

The default player colour is blue, but the texture is black - I presume somewhere there is a colour value that decides what the underlying colour for the model/player is (default is blue). Does anyone know how to change this to red or whatever? I've looked around the other forums, but haven't found anything,

thanks

the player is BLUE but the alpha layer (which is a grey scaled image to show reflective intesity)does make the image look black if you take it off in a programm like photoshop you'll see the player's color but the landscape won't reflect off of him.

hehe oops :) I double clicked it, and it loaded it up in AC-DSee, but slapped it onto a black background, I loaded it up in paint shop pro and it was blue!

d'oh!

I thought their might have been some clever code where you can give a player a "colour" for team purposes, and it draws it in that colour - like half-life, where you can change the 2 colour sliders in multiplayer player setup.


thanks!
