Change particle color
-
Hello. I am relatively new to The Powder Toy console and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with learning the coding to change a particle's color. I know it can be done and I've seen countless creations with color-altered particles. I am familiar with codes such as x, y, vx, vy, ctype, and type, but I could use some help learning how to change a particle's color and other advanced codes. I'm open to learning anything. Thank you.

It's the dcolour variable, it's complicated to use in lua, so ask someone like @gamax92 -

not that hard,
just a doubleword
least byte (little Endian) is alpha, and should be 255 for normal work -
How do I change a particle's default color? I want to make nitroglycerine magenta instead of the normal green color. tpt.el.nitr.color=0xff00ff works to change the color of the icon in the tool box, but does NOT change the default color as displayed on the playing field. Please help me figure out what command to change the displayed default color for an element.

I think it's a glitch. Just change it's color before you draw it and it will appear the color you want it to.
Nope. doesn't work. I use that command tpt.el.metl.color=0xff00ff (which should make METL magenta) doesn't change the color for already placed OR newly drawn METL. It does NOT work!
Update. It does not work from the CONSOLE. It requires it it be used in the script file autorun.lua, so that it will be a command executed upon starting the program. It seems not all the changes take place in the program unless the program is "booted" with these changes. -
to change particle color:
Press "B" to open color menu and then choose a color then when your done
use it on a particle.
Ex:
Particle= Powder
Color=Red
while in color mode, click and drag on the particles and it will turn into color red.
