Questions & Answers

The following script is intended to transfer a Color from a variable in another script and 'visualise' that color by means of the GUI. Code below.

Help would be appreciated.

 //this script reads the public colour variable from a 
    GameObject.Script.Variable (dataField1.DataField.ColorUnderCharacter) 
    and puts it on a square Box GUI.

    var plainTex : Texture2D ;
    var rayTexColor : Color = Color.white ;
    var searchGameObject : GameObject ;
    var searchScript : GameObject ;

    function Start()
    {
        var accessGameObject = GameObject.Find("dataField1") ;
        var accessScript = accessGameObject.GetComponent("DataField")
    }

    function Update ()
    {
        rayTexColor = accessScript.ColorUnderCharacter ;
        print(rayTexColor.grayscale) ;
    }

    function OnGUI() {
        //Find dataField data and set it to the current colour to paint the GUI
        //Configure the Box, Draw Box, reset GUI
        var c : Color = GUI.backgroundColor ;
        GUI.backgroundColor = rayTexColor ;
        GUI.Box(Rect(10,10,50,50)) ;
        GUI.backgroundColor = c ;

    }

Hmm. I'm not sure setting backgroundColor would do what you want. For one, it multiplies this color, tinting things. And I don't know that setting and resetting it like this will do it for just that one element, maybe. I personally would look into using GUIStyle for this type of thing. It's a lot like CSS.
