I searched the forums first before asking this, but didnt really feel i "got" the answer.
So- im trying to make a model tinted to its team color when the actor is created.
Tinting is fine, but i cant seem to find anything that suggests you could input teamcolor there.
The thread mentioned working with triggers and actorsend messages, but when looking through the "events", i dont find anything that suggests its possible to get an actors message and use it.
So, is there an option i missed? Is it not possible? Maybe you need scripting? Im not sure. Thanks in advance.
Create a new trigger with an event of Unit is Created, then under the action section you use Send Actor Message to Unit with a message type of something like Set Tint or Set Team Color. Use Created Unit to reference the current unit.
Assuming you want to tint units different colors based on who they belong to, you'll need to use a switch statement that switches the owner of the created unit and have one send actor message per player.
