Help with colors

okay i need help with the colors in the editor. i read one post that was explaining it but i didnt quite get it i have been trying really hard and need some quality help.


most of the time i was just content with my color selection that i took from stuff already in the editor but now i need more.

what's this got to do w/ triggers?
please state your problem more clearly, are you talking about the object editor where you can't seem to put a proper color on a unit that you want? that would bring you into the category of having to skin

Okay then maybe u have never played a TD. but the Messages that flash like next level in 30 seconds are in color and i want to change the color but dont verywell understand how 8 digits are hex code.

3 second search on google: im no triggerer, but this works in VB, not sure about world editor's triggers or JASS

Thnx but i already have about 8 color lists like that. the digits dont match up b cuz there are 8 in W3 world editor but 6 in hex.

not quite...
the way it works is, i think AARRGGBB
AA is transperency so it should be always hhave a value of ff (hex for 255)
RR is the red channel and ranges from 00-ff
GG is the b;ue channel and ranges from 00-ff
BB is the green channel and ranges from 00-ff

so for example to make a bright red it would be FFFF0000
so full alpha, full red and no blue or green, to find the six letter code for each color you could use the link Aznwhore gave or therre are some programs (like photoshop) that you can pick acolor and it will give you the hexcode for it

Alpha???? o_O



thanx Mythmon wht u just said clears everything up.





that was wht i was asking for all along just a simple explaination

i am trying to get the text to shift colors from one side to another.
this is how i tried |cff00cc88Next level in 30 second cffcc6600|r and it didnt work wht am i doing wrong?

You need to put an |r at the end of each section of color, and you didn't put any text in the second color bracket. I'm assuming, of course, that you copied directly.

|cff00cc88Next level|r |cffcc6600in 30 seconds|r is this wht u mean cuz that ends up with split colors i want a smooth transition.

As in a gradient effect? I dont think thats possible. Have you seen this done before?

It's possible, but you have to set the value of each character separately. I think there are some utilities that do this for you, however...

the only person i know of who has done it is Zoator. thanx guys.

gradients are possible with for example Magos' program : http://www20.brinkster.com/magos818/
