Change Character Color

OscarsCoding

Hi! I am making a character for my game and when the character gets hit by an enemy, I want the whole player to turn red and not just turn into a red block, is there any way I can do that?

Try this:
-change attribute self.color red to 1.
-change attribute self.color green to 0.
-change attribute self.color blue to 0.

That changed my actor to the right color I want, but how do I change it back to normal?

-change attribute self.color red to 1.
-change attribute self.color green to 1.
-change attribute self.color blue to 1.

Like @Socks said.

Just a suggestion...
It gives a nice effect, if instead of changing each color immediately back to 1, you interpolate them. 0.1 or 0.2 seconds for the interpolation time should be good.

Agreed, depending on your needs interpolation looks a little nicer. Try making the interpolation times on each colour channel different, so you get hints of other colours in the transition.

Example

Interpolate self.color red to 1 - Duration 0.2
Interpolate self.color green to 1 - Duration 0.4
Interpolate self.color blue to 1 - Duration 0.8
