How to change color of a preloaded png image?

newguy

Hi, i load my image with this code var graybox = preload("res://graybox.png")

How do i change the image color? From my research it should be something like graybox.modulate = Color(0, 0, 1) but it doesn't have such method.

modulate() mainly applies to CanvasItems, and anything that inherits from them, like Sprites. If you want to use modulate, the easiest way would be to make a new sprite and set it's texture as the graphic.

var sprite = Sprite.new() sprite.texture = load('res://icon.png') sprite.modulate = Color(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0) add_child(sprite)

Yes that works. Thanks!
