[C#] Particle Color?

[sollaholla]

Has anybody ever tried: void SET_PARTICLE_FX_LOOPED_COLOUR(int ptfxHandle, float r, float g, float b, BOOL p4)

And gotten it to actually do anything? It just makes my particles invisible.

Is it possible, that you pass R G Bin values between 0 and 1 float? They have to be between 0 and 255 float. Show us your code

Who in the f... decided to put floating colors (US) colours (EU) for that native at R*? lol They must be stupid, I've never heard of a floating colour system, but according to decompiled game scripts they are floats, but they have to be 0 - 255. Also to the OP it doesn't work on alot of PTFX, however one I do know for sure it works on is,

 

Asset: scr_carsteal4

PTFX: scr_carsteal4_wheel_burnout

 

Example (Credits to https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/stunt-plane-smoke ) It was a .cs file so no decompiling was done,

 

if (Function.Call<bool>(Hash.HAS_NAMED_PTFX_ASSET_LOADED, "scr_carsteal4"))

{

Function.Call(Hash._SET_PTFX_ASSET_NEXT_CALL, "scr_carsteal4");

if (smokeType == 4)

Function.Call<int>(Hash.START_PARTICLE_FX_NON_LOOPED_ON_ENTITY, "scr_carsteal4_wheel_burnout", veh, 4.0f, -1.0f, 0.85f, 0, 0, 0, size - 0.2, 0, 1, 0);

Function.Call(Hash.SET_PARTICLE_FX_NON_LOOPED_COLOUR, 0.0f, 255.0f, 0.0f); //Edit these values to change color of the smoke. They are RGB values. 0.0f is the minimum, 255.0f is the maximum

}

else

{

Function.Call(Hash.REQUEST_NAMED_PTFX_ASSET, "scr_carsteal4");

}

 

Side Note: Ignore the 'smokeType' bit like I said it was out of the file from the mod credited above. Just was to visually give you an example.

Side Note 2: SET_PARTICLE_FX_LOOPED_COLOUR would be the same*

That's not the only questionable decision Rockstar has made. Let's not forget the constantly changing and inverted coordinate system, and the fact that the Y axis is represented as Z (which makes absolutely no sense when you're someone who's been making games for 3 years). And the fact that the screen is represented as a 0 - 1 floating point value instead of pixel ratio's is absolutely retarded to me. Aside from that yes, I've figured this out, and also from what I've seen the color values range from 0 - 1, as well as the alpha. And no, they do not work for all particles.
