Interpolate text color

sebmacfly

Hi there!

I'm searching for a way to interpolate the color of a text...

Want to interpolate from green to blue, blue to red, red to green, green to blue, etc...
There is a wy to make it?

Thanks

nope not at this time unfortunately. We have been begging for more display text controls for a long time so hopefully something new will come out down the road.

Thanks...
Maybe a way with custon fonts?

Yes just use (white will probably prove to be simplest and best) custom fonts and you have all the power of the GS colour attributes to play with.

Or you could layer up display texts and interpolate between them.

the easiest way would be to render your text out as images in photoshop, then just interpolate any of the 3 color attributes.
shouldnt be using display text anyway XD

The problem is that if i use a custom font, i have to use timer behavior (to refresh the text attributes) and i don't want that...

@sebmacfly If you use the right colours and don't expect the best kerning display text can look great. Its all about colour and size (background is very important too) and don't forget display text looks much better on device.

Guys, just for you to know, i found a solution

1) Make an actor with the display text behavior, text color = white.
2) Make an actor with blending mode = additive (in the Graphics options)
=> In this actor, put all the rules you need to change his color
3) Put this actor in front of your text



Of course, that work if you have a black background, but works very well!

Best regards!
