Change Fog Color at Runtime using Hex color code

Unity Engine
1

Hi guys,

I am trying to change Fog Color at runtime but cant’ get it to work.

The following code works when i choose one of the main color like red, green, blue etc… but can’t use it when it comes to using hexcode.

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Example() {
        RenderSettings.fogColor = Color.blue;
        RenderSettings.fog = true;
    }
}

The color i want fog to change to at runtime is light blue and the hex color code is 4CA7E6FF.

Is there a way i can make this to work?

Thanks

You need to try to parse the Hex string, to convert it to a color

Color newCol;
bool bConverted = ColorUtility.TryParseHtmlString("#4CA7E6FF", out newCol);
//Did it successfully parse the Hex?
if (bConverted) {
   RenderSettings.fogColor = newCol;
}

Thanks.

I tried the above method, but I can’t seem to get it to work when i add bConverted line. I am using the attached code below to change the fogcolor and enable a skybox onTrigger with Player.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SkyboxchangeC : MonoBehaviour {

    public Material otherSkybox;

    public Color newCol;

    bool bConverted = ColorUtility.TryParseHtmlString("#4CA7E6FF", out newCol);

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.tag == "Player" && RenderSettings.skybox != otherSkybox && bConverted)
            RenderSettings.skybox = otherSkybox;
            RenderSettings.fog = true;
            RenderSettings.fogColor = newCol;
    }
}
