FILT Help.

  • TYRTlive     16th Jul 2015 Member 0 Permalink

    I'm setting FILT to a specific color that I want to use, but PHOT element changes it to red instantly. How can I prevent FILT to NOT affect from any heat source?

    It's impossible, unless you shield it with a phot-allowing indestructable heat insulator.

    Either:

    • Leave a gap (or put an insulating element such as INSL) between the FILT and anything that conducts heat to photons. FILT and PHOT do not conduct heat directly to each other, so they are likely to be conducting indirectly, via something touching both elements.
    • Or set the "ctype" property of FILT, which will make it always have a specific colour regardless of temperature. ctype can be set with the console or with the PROP tool, and more details about how FILT's ctype works can be found on the wiki (Element:FILT)

     How can I set ctype color on console?

     

    !set ctype FILT <and what value must be here?>

    The correct value depends entirely on what colour you would like.

     

    Hexadecimal works. !set ctype FILT 0xFF000000 is red, 0x000FF000 is green, 0x000000FF is blue. Experiment.
