V2020.1.56.3_ Color Detector

Overview

The Color Detector is a component that can be used to detect a specific color with tolerance.

A Color Detector analysing three cubes for a Red color. The Output Signal returns High for the red cube, and low for the green and blue cubes

The Color Detector Physical and Logic components can be found under Standard Components > Color Sensor > Color Detector.

It can also be accessed from the GameObject menu or from the Hierarchy Context menu.

A new GameObject will be created if you do not have a GameObject selected. Otherwise, the Color Detector will be added to the selected GameObject

Live Data
State	Shows whether the Color Detector is currently active and thus whether it will detect a color
Output Signal	Shows whether or not the Color Detector is currently detecting the Reference Color
Match Percentage	The percentage with which the detected color matches the Reference Color

Properties
Color Sensor	The specific Color Sensor to use for the Color Detector. By default, a Color Sensor will automatically be assigned by either finding a suitable one in the scene or creating a new one
Reference Color	The color which the detected color will be compared with
Threshold	The minimum Match Percentage at which the Color Detector has a High Output Signal
On Signal High	A UnityEvent that is fired as soon as the Color Detector has a High Output Signal
On Signal Low	A UnityEvent that is fired as soon as the Color Detector has a Low Output Signal

Control Panel
Generate Control Panel for ColorDetector	Click this button to generate a Control Panel for the Color Detector

Properties
ColorDetector	The Phyisical Color Detector component attached to this Logic component

Assign a Color Detector physical component to a GameObject, or create a new one directly from the menu
Select the desired settings under the Properties tab
In Play Mode, the Match Percentage of detected objects will be displayed, as well as the Output Signal
