So I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a while, but I haven't found anything helpful.

Anyways; I am trying to make the TextLabel's TextColor [smoothly] transition though the color 3 values. Such as starting at red, going to orange, then to yellow, to green, blue, purple, blue, then back to red.

Anyone have any ideas?



You can see an example of this in "Stop It, Slender!"(Link: http://www.roblox.com/Stop-it-Slender-place?id=30869879)


Thanks for your help!

Lol uhm...

For loop and figuring out which arguments for the Color3 scale to change c;

What sucks about Roblox's Color wheel is that it's RGB(Red Green Blue) when in reality it's RBY(Red Blue Yellow). So I don't know how to combine color values to make another color.. Red + Yellow = Orange nsuch'

s = script.Parent
color3 = {Color3.new(0, 0, 0), Color3.new(255, 255, 255)}

local rc = 1
local gc = 1
local bc = 1

local r = coroutine.wrap(function()
for i = color3[1].r, color3[2].r, 1 do
wait()
rc = i/255
end
end)

local g = coroutine.wrap(function()
for i = color3[1].g, color3[2].g, 1 do
wait()
gc = i/255
end

for i = color3[1].b, color3[2].b, 1 do
wait()
bc = i/255
end
end)

r()
g()
b()

while wait() do
s.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(rc, gc, bc)
print(rc, gc, bc)
end

@goulstem, Yes, with paint. Monitors are only capable of producing blue, green and red lights. They are packed tightly together to get different color illusions. try putting a little drop of water on your screen and you'll see.

That is pretty gross how you have that much code just to transition three color three values..

Well nobody uses lerp :(

-- Yes, vector3's and between 0 and 255, not 0 and 1. You'll see why
local start = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0);
local end = Vector3.new(255, 255, 255);

for alpha = 0, 1, 0.1 do -- 0.1 means percent increment per iteration
local offset = start:Lerp(end, alpha);
object.TextColor3 = Color3.new(offset.X/255, offset.Y/255, offset.Z/255);
wait(0.1);
end

idk

This is something I'm using for my games. It phases through almost all the color3 colors perpetually:


a = 0
b = 0
c = 0

while wait(0.15) do

a = a + 0.1
b = b + 0.05
c = c + 0.025

script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new((255-(math.sin(a)*60))/255,(255-(math.sin(b)*60))/255,(255-(math.sin(c)*60))/255)

end

Put it in a local script directly as a child from the GUI object you want to phase

Or wait until ROBLOX wants to add lerp to colors so that you don't have silly things like extra objects clogging up memory
or die that'll probably happen first

or

local oldCnew = Color3.new
local Color3 = {}
Color3.new = oldCnew
function Color3:Lerp(to, a)
return oldCnew(self.r * (1-a) + to.r * a, self.g * (1-a) + to.g * a, self.b * (1-a) + to.b * a)
end

lol does that even work

Well just set those variables to nil and the GC will handle that for you :)

@Goul since when is there RBY?
I've never heard of it. Computers use RGB.

In reality it is RGB, not RBY. I think you are thinking of paints and such.
Light is ALWAYS RGB, and it is NOT just Roblox. EVERYTHING on the computer uses RGB.

But I thought he was talking about cycling through hues. I've always used open-source HSV to RGB converters, pasted, and set the saturation to 1 and value to .5.
Then you loop through 359 and get all of the colors.

gc is gross and we're not friends
also light isn't made up of those three colors btw, but you have cones in your eye that look for those three colors and kinda interpolate between wavelengths
