How could I stop my Color3 Lerp?

Asked 601 views1 answers

I'm lerping the color property of a PointLight to make it blue, it worked until I added my while loop. How could I successfully stop the b value of a Color3 from going over 255? Any and all help is welcome.

wait(5)
function LerptoBlue()
	for i = 0,1,0.000015 do
		script.Parent.PointLight.Color = script.Parent.PointLight.Color:lerp(Color3.new(0,0,255), i)
		wait()
			while true do
			if
				script.Parent.PointLight.Color.b > 255 then
				script.Parent.PointLight.Color.b = 255
			end
			wait(1)
		end
	end
end

LerptoBlue()

It might be because your "for" loop won't ever be one. Because if you were to times 0.000015 to get 1, you'd get an odd number (66666.6667)

No. I think lerping accounts for this.

Just remove the while and the wait in the while. I see no point in it

Try doing "/255" after each color3 number. So "0/255,0/255,255/255"

Color3 values can't go over 255 (or 1).

I too myself recently found out that doing 0,0,255 is a RGB (Red Green Blue), and to transform this to Color3, we simply add a /255 after it!

wait(5)
function LerptoBlue()
    for i = 0,1,0.000010 do
        script.Parent.PointLight.Color = script.Parent.PointLight.Color:lerp(Color3.new(0/255,0/255,255/255), i)
        wait()
    end
end

LerptoBlue()

I also went ahead and removed that useless while loop.

You can use Color3.fromRGB instead of Color3.new(0/255, 0/255, 255/255). You can also do Color3.new(0, 0, 1)
