1.7.4 color picker fail

[Kilinich]

1.7.4
If color for geom is dynamic value you can't change color from appearance menu.

Try to change color of that circle:

Code: Select all

scene.addCircle({pos := [0,0]; color := {[1,1,1,1]}})

You'll have to change the value from the script menu, or script the HSVA color ("colorHSVA" instead of "color")

[Kilinich]

Why? It's really confusing...
Ok, even if it's intentional why don't show to user somehow -- that color cannot be changed.
And BTW why don't make same behavior for all scripted values like density, friction, etc...

[emilk]

The problem is the color vs colorHSVA: they really act on the same thing. Had I been clever I would have gone with HSV and not RGB from the very beginning, but that's the problem with never breaking backwards compatibility: you're stuck with legacy stuff that never quite fit in with new stuff. Anyway, if you're a scripter, make sure to script the colorHSVA value instead of the color value.

[Kilinich]

I still don't understand why you can't change color with color picker just overwrite both color and colorHSVA values

For users who downloaded scripted scene, this behavior is bug.
I know how to solve one by one by myself, but I feel this behavior is bug.

As Kilinich wrote, overwriting color value (instead of scripted color value) is possible, isn't it?
