Description

Colors the particles will cycle through over their lifetime.

Currently you cannot directly modify a single index of this array. Instead, you need to grab the entire array, modify it, and assign it back to the Particle Animator.

	// Attach this script to a GameObject that contains a legacy particle components

function Start () { var particleAnimator : ParticleAnimator = GetComponent.<ParticleAnimator>(); var modifiedColors : Color[] = particleAnimator.colorAnimation; modifiedColors[2] = Color.yellow; particleAnimator.colorAnimation = modifiedColors; }
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { ParticleAnimator particleAnimator = GetComponent<ParticleAnimator>(); Color[] modifiedColors = particleAnimator.colorAnimation; modifiedColors[2] = Color.yellow; particleAnimator.colorAnimation = modifiedColors; } }
