Rainbow text on hud

[christoffermgc]

How can i make rainbow text on hud. I tried using math.random and it was just too fast and not smooth

Is there anyway to make it change the color smooth and slow

HSVToColor

Can you post a line of code how to do it?

[SweptThrone]

you should read the tutorial

[SneakySquid]

There are 3 examples of how to use it on the wiki page. Example 1 is similar to what you want to accomplish.

You'll want to use HSVToColor where the hue argument is something like CurTime or another smoothly changing variable.

[Ghelid]

function RainbowThings(c) --used for flashing colors (like rainbow) (function outside HUDPaint hook)
return (math.cos(CurTime()*c)+1)/2
end

--And do something like this

surface.SetDrawColor(RainbowThings(1) * 255, 255, 255, 255) --You can make it faster RainbowThings(2 or 3 or 4)

--Or you can use this function

function RainbowThingssecond(c) --used for flashing colors too
    return (math.abs(math.sin(CurTime()*c)))
end

surface.SetDrawColor(RainbowThingssecond(1) * 255, 255, 255, 255) --You can make it faster RainbowThingssecond(2 or 3 or 4)

Hope this clears things up!
