Set Specific Child's Material

Questions & Answers

Hi.
I’m trying to make a system where if the player hits a specific object, its color changes between 3 predefined colors. However, I want the player to have skins, and I want to give the color only to certain meshes of the children objects.

Right now, what I have is:

private CharacterController controller;
public Material[] colors; //I have already set 3 colors in inspector.
public Renderer[] skins; // I have put all the skins I want to change here, and didn't put any of the skins I don't want to change color.
public int c;

void Start()
{
    controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    skins = GetComponentsInChildren<Renderer>(); //I think the problem is here, since this gets all the components in children objects.

}

private void OnControllerColliderHit(ControllerColliderHit hit)
{

    if (hit.transform.tag == "ChangeColor")
    {

        Destroy(hit.gameObject);

        foreach (Renderer rend in skins)
        {

            {
                c = Random.Range(0, colors.Length);
                rend.material = colors

;
                }

Any ideas, please?

You can add a “Change Color” tag (or some other tag) to the child objects to be painted and check for this tag:

foreach (Renderer rend in skins)
    if (rend.CompareTag("Change Color"))
    {
        // change color here
    }

I think you are missing .SetColor to rend.material. more info
