Returns a Sphere Color Object, to be used in color masks or drawing primitives.
Contents
Usage
CreateColor(r, g, b, a);
new Color(r, g, b, a);
- r the red component
- g the green component
- b the blue component
- a the alpha component
Notes
- The alpha component is optional. By default it's complete opaque (255).
- Avoid creating Color objects on the fly in render scripts, particularly when the actual RGB values used don't change from frame to frame. This seems innocent enough, but can slow down your game considerably. Instead, try to create Colors ahead of time so they can be reused each frame.
Examples
Create some colors:
var Red = CreateColor(255, 0 , 0);
var Green = CreateColor(0 , 255, 0);
var Yellow = CreateColor(255, 255, 0);
var TransparentRed = CreateColor(255, 0, 0, 125);See also
