    Hello everybody!
    I need help because i'm trying to realize an "action" that change the color of the character like in Color Switch. In Color Switch, every character (with different forms), change the color when the character take the "action" for example, if a circle take the action it can become a red, green, withe or blue circle, instead if the character is a square, it become a red, blue (etc) square. To explain better, I make an example of my game: i have 5 characters (1 white, and the other 4 are special characters like a dog ora a cat). I want that the action change color only to the white charachter (I want it to become red, yellow, green, randomly) and not to the special characters, so, how can i "don't show" the action for a certain character?
    Sorry for my bad english and thanks!

    I'm bad at explaining stuff but I was looking on YouTube for tutorials, and I've found this, skip to the minute 3:45
    I hope I could've helped you with your problem.

    Thank you very much Dimatrix, but it wasn't what i'm looking for. In this video, the guy has got only 3 character all colored. My problem is that I have other characters with different skin, and I do not want these characters change color because it would change in red, yellow, green etc, changing the character's skin.

    This is only possible with simple cut-out characters. Using it like a mask. Not possible with something more complex like different skins (unfortunately).

    So i want to ask another question, it's possible to create an action (or whatever) that switch the charachter into another character (randomly)?
    Thank you so much

    You decide into what the action turns the character. Single color or 'skin'.. what you put inside the action's animation box is what the character will turn into (when setting 'Animation Behavior' to 'Replace').
    About randomness, you can attach actions (with different animations/skins) to an invisible object with random spawning in different positions in the scene.

    First of all read this post I have made a while back. Second, Color Switch is no longer made in BuildBox, it is developed by a professional software dev team and therefore anything is possible whatever is in the imagination...

    Thank you trudnai, this is interesting but my problem is that I have no black background and i have characters with different skins! So i think there isn't a way..
