  1. POunable to change color of point light after instantiating in prefab
    text
    copied!<p>I have a prefab for a point light to produce a glow around a sphere. Based on the "type" (health, personality, talent) the color of the glow has to change. Here's my code to do that - </p> <pre><code>GameObject glow = (GameObject)Instantiate(glowPrefab,new Vector3(0,0,0),Quaternion.identity); glow.transform.parent = child.transform; glow.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(0,0,0); switch(type) { case "health": child.renderer.material = health; glow.GetComponent&lt;Light&gt;().color = new Color(254f,137f,96f,255f); //Debug.Log ("Health Color" + glow.light.color ); break; case "personality": child.renderer.material = personality; glow.GetComponent&lt;Light&gt;().color = new Color(137f,254f,96f,255f); //Debug.Log ("Personality Color" + glow.GetComponent&lt;Light&gt;().color ); break; case "talent": child.renderer.material = talent; glow.GetComponent&lt;Light&gt;().color = new Color(137f,96f,254f,255f); //Debug.Log ("Talent Color" + glow.GetComponent&lt;Light&gt;().color ); break; } </code></pre> <p>Although the debug.log shows that the light has changed, in the game, it is still white. What's funny is that, when it is run, the scene shows multicolored lights - </p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/x39Sp.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>But, in the game, the color is white - </p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/2VcWy.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>When I click on an individual light, the color is white - </p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Z4e7w.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Even if I change the prefab color, the color of the lights is still white. </p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/YDsD8.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>How do I check where the color is being changed? Is there an event I can use for logging?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
