Changing UI Button color C# -Solved-

Hi,
i have tried to change UI buttons color unsuccesfully with scripting also is it possible to change Normal Color, pressed Color.

Can anyone help? Trying to do it with C#

 

i have tried like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. public class RaceAndAttributeController : MonoBehaviour {
6.     public Color color;
7.  
8.     void Start ()
9.     {
10.         color = new Color (0.2f, 0.3f, 0.4f, 0.5f);
11.         GetComponent<Button> ().colors = color;
12.     }
13.  

but it gives error:Assets/Scripts/RaceAndAttributeController.cs(13,41): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type `UnityEngine.Color' to `UnityEngine.UI.ColorBlock'

 

the error tells you that "colors" is of type ColorBlock while your color is not.
You cannot simply assign a different data type to another variable. The data inside needs to match - or you have to cast it on your own.
ColorBlock probably contains several variables of type Color.
Add another DOT behind GetComponent<Button>().colors to see what's "inside".

 

ok thx for advice i got bit further now. I still get error:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
RaceAndAttributeController.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/RaceAndAttributeController.cs:10)

why it says nullreference exeption even color has value = RGBA(0.135, 0.167, 0.266, 1.000)

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. public class RaceAndAttributeController : MonoBehaviour {
6.     public Color color;
7.  
8.     void Start ()
9.     {
10.         color = GetComponent<Button> ().colors.normalColor;
11.         print (color);
12.     }
13.  

 

Here is the answer but its in java. Can anyone help to translate to C#

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     var colors = GetComponent<Button> ().colors;
3.     colors.normalColor = Color.red;
4.     GetComponent<Button> ().colors = colors;
5.  
6.  

 

Ok i figured out this.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. public class RaceAndAttributeController : MonoBehaviour {
6.     public Color color;
7.     public ColorBlock colorBlockHuman;
8.     public GameObject humanButton;
9.  
10.     private Button tempButton;
11.  
12.     void Start ()
13.     {
14.         tempButton = humanButton.GetComponent<Button> ();
15.         colorBlockHuman = tempButton.colors;
16.         colorBlockHuman.normalColor = new Color (0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 1.0f);
17.         tempButton.colors = colorBlockHuman;
18.  
19.     }
20.
