Set background color

jeanini

Hi every one. I would like to change the background color of the name of the speaking character in my dialogue window. The color should be the one defined in the speech text color. How can i do that?
Here how my dialog menu is : https://ibb.co/fdC89V17

Thx

By default, Label elements will set the colour of your Text components - not the background.

If you want to alter the background, use scripting attached to the UI prefab:

using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class SetBackgroundSpeechColor : MonoBehaviour
{

    public Image image;
    public Canvas canvas;

    void OnEnable ()
    {
        var menu = KickStarter.playerMenus.GetMenuWithCanvas (canvas);
        var speech = menu.speech;
        if (speech != null)
        {
            image.color = speech.GetColor ();
        }
    }

}

So i have to set my Dialogue menu to Unity UI prefab?
Here how my menu is set : https://ibb.co/zh7v90Xs

I have an error after creat the script :

Assets\DetectiveDesforge\Scripts\SetBackgroundSpeechColor.cs(17,34): error CS1061: 'Speech' does not contain a definition for 'GetColor' and no accessible extension method 'GetColor' accepting a first argument of type 'Speech' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Yes, you'll need to use Unity UI.

My mistake - GetColour, not GetColor.
