Could someone relay to me why this code is not working in Unity C#?
Code:
void Awake()
{
private Color newColor;
private int timer = 0;
}
void Update()
{
ColorChanging();
timer++;
}
void ColorChanging()
{
while ( timer <= 100000 )
{
Color currentColor = transform.gameObject.light.color;
newColor = Color.blue;
light.color = Color.Lerp(currentColor, newColor, Time.deltaTime);
}
}
I got a scene built in Unity where I am playing with lights. I built an enclosed room and got 2 backlights that are using a timer to move around the scene at various points. I created a bunch of spheres together each with their own spotlight and got them rotating around various axis so when the scene runs I have all these lights going all over. Everything is working fine but now I want to be able to change the color of the lights on the spheres by again using a background timer running to trigger the changes.
I read about Lerp and how it can be used for various things, so I would like to be able to grab the current color of the spheres, add a new color which in this case is Blue and then have the color change to the new color slowly via lerp.
When it runs though, nothing happens. Or if I do a public newColor declaration I can actually change the color of the light but there is no Lerp changeover to the new color, it just jumps to it. What am I missing? I worked on this for like an hour last night and just couldnt figure it out lol.
