I am trying to change the color of the forcefield.. can anyone help me?

[dnjswns951]

I just want to change the color of the forcefield for my mod character. 

 

for example, when my mod character gets hit by a monster, my mod hat creates the forcefield around.

 

I want to change that color to bluish color.

local assets={	Asset("ANIM", "anim/hat_fox.zip"),	Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/hat_fox.xml")}local function ruinshat_proc(inst, owner)    inst:AddTag("forcefield")    inst.components.armor:SetAbsorption(TUNING.FULL_ABSORPTION)    local fx = SpawnPrefab("scripts/prefabs/forcefieldfx_blue")    fx.entity:SetParent(owner.entity)    fx.Transform:SetPosition(0, 0.2, 0)	    local fx_hitanim = function()        fx.AnimState:PlayAnimation("hit")        fx.AnimState:PushAnimation("idle_loop")    end    fx:ListenForEvent("blocked", fx_hitanim, owner)    inst.components.armor.ontakedamage = function(inst, damage_amount)        if owner then            local sanity = owner.components.sanity            if sanity then                local unsaneness = damage_amount * TUNING.ARMOR_RUINSHAT_DMG_AS_SANITY                sanity:DoDelta(-unsaneness, false)            end        end    end    inst.active = true    owner:DoTaskInTime(--[[Duration]] TUNING.ARMOR_RUINSHAT_DURATION, function()        fx:RemoveEventCallback("blocked", fx_hitanim, owner)        fx.kill_fx(fx)		        if inst:IsValid() then            inst:RemoveTag("forcefield")            inst.components.armor.ontakedamage = nil            inst.components.armor:SetAbsorption(TUNING.ARMOR_RUINSHAT_ABSORPTION)            owner:DoTaskInTime(--[[Cooldown]] TUNING.ARMOR_RUINSHAT_COOLDOWN, function() inst.active = false end)        end    end)endlocal function tryproc(inst, owner)    if not inst.active and math.random() < --[[ Chance to proc ]] TUNING.ARMOR_RUINSHAT_PROC_CHANCE then       ruinshat_proc(inst, owner)    endendlocal function onequip(inst, owner)         owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_hat", "hat_fox", "swap_hat")        owner.AnimState:Show("HAT")        owner.AnimState:Show("HAT_HAIR")        owner.AnimState:Hide("HAIR_NOHAT")        owner.AnimState:Hide("HAIR")				owner.AnimState:Show("HEAD")        owner.AnimState:Hide("HEAD_HAIR")        inst.procfn = function() tryproc(inst, owner) end        owner:ListenForEvent("attacked", inst.procfn)endlocal function onunequip(inst, owner)         owner.AnimState:Hide("HAT")        owner.AnimState:Hide("HAT_HAIR")        owner.AnimState:Show("HAIR_NOHAT")        owner.AnimState:Show("HAIR")				if owner:HasTag("player") then            owner.AnimState:Show("HEAD")            owner.AnimState:Hide("HEAD_HAIR")        end        owner:RemoveEventCallback("attacked", inst.procfn)endlocal function fn(Sim)	local inst = CreateEntity()	local trans = inst.entity:AddTransform()	local anim = inst.entity:AddAnimState()    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)        inst:AddTag("hat")        anim:SetBank("featherhat")    anim:SetBuild("hat_fox")    anim:PlayAnimation("anim")                inst:AddComponent("inspectable")        inst:AddTag("irreplaceable")		inst:AddComponent("armor")	inst.components.armor:InitCondition(TUNING.ARMOR_RUINSHAT, TUNING.ARMOR_RUINSHAT_ABSORPTION)	--inst.components.armor:SetAbsorption(0)	--inst.components.armor:SetCondition(100)        inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")    inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/hat_fox.xml"        inst:AddComponent("equippable")    inst.components.equippable.equipslot = EQUIPSLOTS.HEAD        inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip( onequip )    inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip( onunequip )        return instendreturn Prefab( "common/inventory/hat_fox", fn, assets) 

this is the code for my mod character's hat, and

local assets = {   Asset("ANIM", "anim/forcefield_blue.zip")}local function kill_fx(inst)    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("close")    inst.components.lighttweener:StartTween(nil, 0, .9, 0.9, nil, .2)    inst:DoTaskInTime(0.6, function() inst:Remove() end)    endlocal function fn(Sim)	local inst = CreateEntity()	local trans = inst.entity:AddTransform()    local anim = inst.entity:AddAnimState()    local sound = inst.entity:AddSoundEmitter()    anim:SetBank("forcefield")    anim:SetBuild("forcefield_blue")    anim:PlayAnimation("open")    anim:PushAnimation("idle_loop", true)    inst:AddComponent("lighttweener")    local light = inst.entity:AddLight()    inst.components.lighttweener:StartTween(light, 0, .9, 0.9, {1,1,1}, 0)    inst.components.lighttweener:StartTween(nil, 3, .9, 0.9, nil, .2)    inst.kill_fx = kill_fx    sound:PlaySound("dontstarve/wilson/forcefield_LP", "loop")    return instendreturn Prefab( "common/forcefieldfx_blue", fn, assets) 

and this is my lua file in my mod folder.

 

when I try this, I got an error message saying "attempt index nil value ( fx) in line 11.

 

Does anyone know how to do it?

@dnjswns951, SpawnPrefab("scripts/prefabs/forcefieldfx_blue") should be SpawnPrefab("forcefieldfx_blue")

 

But a nicer way to do this would probably be to use AnimState:SetAddColour(0,0,1,1) (the arguments are R, G, B, Alpha). This way you could vary the color more flexibly, although given the base color of red you won't have a full range of color. But this is the method by which pinecones become green when you're placing them, for example.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! it works perfectly!!

You can combine this with the "colourtweener" component for more flexibility with your colouring.
