How can I make rainbow text?

[tardy haven]

just use lerp and lerp between red and blue

[winter dagger]

red and blue?

what about green

[tardy haven]

doesn't work like that.

[winter dagger]

youd need green for the rest of the colors

rgb

[tardy haven]

including green will just overcomplicate things, RB will include all the colors without all the extra steps.

Well you see, that doesn’t work because insert cryptic rant about slerp

Just use an HSV to color

[crystal trail]

HSV go color is deffo the best way to go

red to blue on lerp would just go red-purple-blue :/

[mystic atlas]

This is the method Cryptic gave me a little while ago, X is the amount of time you want it to take to cycle through the colors

HSV To Color((Time Get Precise Seconds/X)%1), 1, 1)

I hope I used the modulo correctly, never used that in an equation until now

Its significantly cheaper than lerp

[crystal trail]

that sounds about right

You cannot use Lerp for this, as that is linear

There are 2 ways to do this smoothly

• Custom 3-way color slerp between #FF0000, #00FF00, and #0000FF
• HSV to Color, with Saturation 1, Value 1, and a Hue of (Time Get Precise Seconds / Cycle Duration) modulo 1

I would go with the HSV to Color method, as it is much simpler than the slerp method

This image shows the path of Lerp vs HSV to Color/Slerp

The purple represents the path of HSV to Color/Slerp, perfectly rotating around the edge of the color wheel

The black line represents the path of Lerp, going directly to Red, Green, and Blue, while getting bright around Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta, because it gets closer to white along the way

Literally what I said
