Basically I want to change my sprite to random colors when they are created. When I want to add the effect parameter on my project, I get the following:

You can't (I think) put code in here, just specific values. What you want is <thingummy> OnCreated => set fx parameter (0) to floor(random(0,100)) and repeat for 2 and 3.

How do I add the setColor effect?

• First the SPRITE must have the EFFECT added to it -

• Sprite - On created
• Set effect parameter (Choose SetColor)
• Parameter index (Choose the one you wanna change) "usually 1,2,3,4 and so on"
• Value = Int(Random(Value)) "This will use a straight value like 4,6,1,80 and so on"

Another way you could do it was adding the "Tint" effect. (value 100,100,100 is the standard color) and simply doing the same as above. This effect just comes with C2 and do not need to be added into it.

Thanks CrudeWall. Got it!
