Issue with SetGlowColor input of prop_dynamic_glow

Kailo · **Author**

I change glow color via

PHP Code:


			
AcceptEntityInput(entity, "SetGlowColor \"255 0 0\""); // also first, i tried "SetGlowColor 255 0 0"

Colors not changed and i got in console (with "developer 3"):

Code:

unhandled input: (SetGlowColor "255 0 0") -> (prop_dynamic_glow,prop_dynamic_glow)
unhandled input: (SetGlowColor 0 255 0) -> (prop_dynamic_glow,prop_dynamic_glow)

Also i created sipmle map with hammer. prop_dynamic_glow and button for switch glow color, works fine.
Any suggestions for fix this?

Also i try 2 another inputs, nothing

Code:

unhandled input: (GlowColorRedValue 255) -> (prop_dynamic_glow,prop_dynamic_glow)
unhandled input: (GlowColorGreenValue 0) -> (prop_dynamic_glow,prop_dynamic_glow)

You need to use one of the SetVariant functions (like SetVariantString or SetVariantColor) to set the actual value and just pass the input name to AcceptEntityInput.

Powerlord, thank you. I don't know that this works by this way.
My solution:

PHP Code:


			
stock void SetGlowColor(int entity, const char[] color)
{
    char colorbuffers[3][4];
    ExplodeString(color, " ", colorbuffers, sizeof(colorbuffers), sizeof(colorbuffers[]));
    int colors[4];
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        colors[i] = StringToInt(colorbuffers[i]);
    colors[3] = 255; // Set alpha
    SetVariantColor(colors);
    AcceptEntityInput(entity, "SetGlowColor");
}

Solved.
