Animate *Color in Sprites op?

[Skinnytorus]

Hi, All.
The anim editor does not recognize Color as a variable though it is supposed to animatable (Error: Line1: Unknown Symbol 'Color').
Has anyone tried that? Is this a bug or it's just me? Thank you.

[ikam]

which op ?

[Skinnytorus]

Yellow Sprites op.

[ikam]

it looks like a problem between the color type and the name (type color exist in script)

[Skinnytorus]

Yes. That's the problem. Anything can be done about it?

[reEto]

no problems in there, define splines to animate

[Skinnytorus]

thanks for the hint, but how do I bind a spline to the variable (*Color) that can't be recognized as such?

[ikam]

I think there is really a bug with sprites color, with conflit name/type. I've renamed Color param to Colora for testing
And script now working. However it's not very intuitive to anim color with spline :p

Great! Well done. It works! Several off-top remarks though:
1. Do you think this change will not conflict with older wz4 files?
2. Will you post a pull request for this change?
3. What is [0..3]? Some sort of interval for the spline (or its point count?) I guess... If I set it to smth 0..2 or 0..4 it doesn't work...
4. No big deal, but Calora seems a bit less obvious than Colors. Can you call this variable just "Colors"?

[Skinnytorus]

I noticed that Color type conflicts in any op that uses Color as a variable.
Same goes for animated tetures. Take a look at the example. Maybe the type itself should be renamed?

[Skinnytorus]

But what about compatibility then?...

[Skinnytorus]

OK, guys! I have found the answer!!!
Use 'color_' variable to animate colors!
Many thanks for your help!!! Closing the issue.

[ikam]

thks
