Changing color of individual tiles
« on: March 07, 2014, 07:03:13 pm »
Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to change the color of individual tiles in a tile map, similar to changing the color of a sprite? I searched and wasn't able to find any previous questions about this. I am creating a turn-based strategy game and would like to show tiles that a unit can move to by changing its color (similar to Fire Emblem and Advance Wars). I am aware of Color Channels, but wasn't sure if I could create this effect with them.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Color channels create smoothed colours, which probably isn't what you want. You could simply overlay additive sprites to get the effect you need - I presume its going to constantly change so this will be far far more efficient than changing the tile map colours.
