Color Sensor

The color sensor component is a scripted component that detects the presence of an entity and its color. For further details on all properties associated with this component and how to use this component with scripting, please see the API documentation.

The detected color is determined by performing a raycast and then measuring the base color and texture of the graphics mesh.

Properties

The color sensor component properties that are accessible through the inspector.

Origin

The start of the detection beam. You can click the select button to select a feature (crease/curve) from the mesh, to be used as the origin. Hover over the feature you want to select and left-click to confirm the selection.

Direction

The direction of the detection beam. You can click the select button to select a feature (crease/curve) from the mesh, to be used as the direction. Hover over the feature you want to select and left-click to confirm the selection. You can right click whilst hovering to negate the direction of the arrow.

Range

The detected color index, or -1 if no color is detected.

Object

The detected entity, or null if no entity is detected.
