When I was working on my Settlement Price Multiplier Info mod I wanted to add a color gradient to UI text and realized that the default functions & objects in the game code and in Squirrel generally are awful for this. Therefore I created my own color object that allows you to implement color mixing or editing easily.
to create a new color object use
You can then set the color to whatever you want either by using a string such as
You can get the color in String form by doing
And finally the main reason to use this object, you can easily mix 2 colors by a certain amount.
And you can then use
to create a new color object use
local color = this.new("scripts/mods/ends_color");You can then set the color to whatever you want either by using a string such as
"ffffff" or "#ffffff" or you can set each rgb property respectively with an intcolor.setColorFromString("ffffff");
color.setColorFromString("#ffffff");
color.m.r = 255;
color.m.g = 255;
color.m.b = 255;You can get the color in String form by doing
return color.getColorString();
//returns string in form "#ffffff"And finally the main reason to use this object, you can easily mix 2 colors by a certain amount.
local otherColorAmountAsPercent = 25;
local newcolor = color.getMixWithColor(othercolor, otherColorAmountAsPercent);
//the newcolor will look like 75% color and 25% othercolorAnd you can then use
newcolor.getColorString() as though it were this.Const.UI.Color.Whatever to display your newly mixed color.
