Change health Icon color with Hue modifier.

RDKatrell22 22 January 2019 16:14

I want to change a health color my characters back with the health modifier so they are in sync. Is there any easy way of doing this or do I have to take the long route with key frames?

  You could wire the Health directly to the Colour Hue, but you lose control over what colour is displayed. Keyframes are the best way to achieve this.

  Keyframes aren't too difficult to use.
  
  The way I would set it up is the following:
  
  - Stamp a keyframe, and record the original "full health" colour.
  - Stamp another keyframe, and record the "no health" colour.
  - Stamp a health gadget (the one that reads the value?)
  - Stamp a timeline, and add the keyframes into it. Put the no health keyframe at the start, and full health keyframe at the end. Make sure there's a gap between the two and they're on the same row. Hover between the keyframes and press L1 + X. This goes through the different blending modes (eg. linear, ease-in, etc.)
  - Hook the health (0 - 1) value up to the playhead of the timeline.
  
  Now, depending on the amount of health, the colour will be a mixture of those two keyframes.
