How to change color in in visual shaders? (or is this a bug)

Valinakova

Hey, so I don't know how to change the color from black to something else. I tried clicking on the black to see if anything would pop up that would allow me to change color and nothing is working.

How would I change color?

Something looks to be wrong with the color uniforms. But while at it let me ask, do you have a light in your scene?

Yep, lights are on, still not working.

Also, colors do not appear to be transferring over. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or if there too is a bug here... But plugging in the noise directly will show, but going through this does not appear to transfer the color over as color.

Hi,

I'm not sure if using ScalarMix is good choice for mixing colors.

Scalar is one particular value like float and color is more like vec3.

Not sure how it is casted in logic, but that for sure won't give you result you are expecting.

You can see that you are changing between types in visual shader by color of slots you connect. Purple one is vec3 while blue is scalar (like single float).

Color uniforms are possible to change from material which use your visual shader, because different materials may use the same shader and only overwrite uniforms.

Inside visual shader itself you can setup only constants.
