How to change colour of actor every 5 seconds?

TheTiger

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know, how I would change the colour of an actor every 5 seconds, also how would I change the colour of an actor once the scene resets.
Thanks.

You didn't specify how you want the color to change (cycle through four different colors, choose a random color each time, etc.) but here's one way:

Timer Every 5 seconds
     Change Attribute self.Color.Red to random(0,255)/255
     Change Attribute self.Color.Green to random(0,255)/255
     Change Attribute self.Color.Blue to random(0,255)/255

When the scene resets, the actor runs its rules again so just do this without a Timer or Rule:

Change Attribute self.Color.Red to random(0,255)/255
Change Attribute self.Color.Green to random(0,255)/255
Change Attribute self.Color.Blue to random(0,255)/255

Hi, thankyou tatiang, sorry for not being specific, I wanted it to be four different colours, not just any random colour, lets say red, blue, green and pink, so how would I do it like that?

Thankyou.

Well, you could either import four different images and then pick one at random (e.g. Change Attribute self.Image to random(1,4) -- assuming your images are named 1.png, 2.png, 3.png, and 4.png) or you could change self.Color.Red, self.Color.Green, and self.Color.Blue to specific values depending on the result of changing an attribute to random(1,4).

Ok thankyou for the help.
