Sector_SetColor
212:Sector_SetColor (tag, r, g, b, desat)
- tag: Tag of affected sector
- r: Amount of red in the light
- g: Amount of green in the light
- b: Amount of blue in the light
- desat: Desaturation of the color
Sets the color of light in a sector. By default, sectors have white light (red, green, blue are all 255). Because there can be a noticeable delay while the game constructs the tables for a color for the first time, another sector should already have the desired color — preferably by using an “open” type script to set the color of a dummy sector that the player will never see.
You can use the testcolor console command to test a color from within the game.
The desat parameter specifies how much the colors in the sector are desaturated. 0 means no desaturation at all, resulting in normal colors. 255 means full desaturation, resulting in a black and white display.
UDMF
If your map is in the UDMF format, and you don't intend to modify sector colors later on, you can apply colors without the use of this special under the sector's custom tab. The color must be provided in hex, i.e. RRGGBB.
Additionally, desaturation can be applied in UDMF as well. The values for desaturation are in fixed point, meaning 0 is normal, and 1 is fully desaturated.
Examples
The following script applies red coloring to any sector with a tag of 3 on map start.
Script 1 Open { Sector_SetColor(const:3, 255, 0, 0); }
