Changing Alpha in TMP_InputField

[tacit coral]

?

[thorny warren]

the alpha is not changed with <alpha=#FF>some text here

[tacit coral]

FF is solid

https://byjus.com/maths/hexadecimal-number-system/#:~:text=The hexadecimal number system is,%2C D%2C E and F.

[thorny warren]

so that should be A = 1 ?

it should change it like this

[tacit coral]

yeah, FF is 11111111

idk why it's like that either

[thorny warren]

that works with<alpha=#44>some text though

[tacit coral]

i'm not actually sure how you're gonna deal with smooth fade with hex, but i bet there's an asset that handles that for you already anyway

[thorny warren]

so I am not sure, but alpha works just if you need to set the color that's not as darker than you have already

(only $15)

(the time you'll spend losing hair is probably worth more than that)

[thorny warren]

yeah, but that won't make my skills grow anyway

[thorny warren]

and I also wonder if you can change character's color with a script using this

[tacit coral]

asset store page says 2.0 coming soon, so even if it's not there, there's still a chance it'll get added

[thorny warren]

anyway I guess I have found the way to do it

[tacit coral]

and yeah apparently it does support that in some way

@tacit coral Man thank you for your help, I have understood how I can work with color and alpha now. I really do appreciate it 🫡 (sorry for late reply, I was just testing it)
