Is WeaponEntity not a proper entity to call set_color from? I'm getting a KeyValue error for rendermode.

Are you using the latest release? It has been fixed a few weeks ago.

Yeap. Had to in order to get PlayerEntity to change color.

for weapon_index in PlayerEntity(player).weapon_indexes():
    weapon = WeaponEntity(weapon_index)
    weapon.set_color(Color(255, 255, 255, amount))

Having tested, I can verify that the error is certainly happening for weapons but not for players:

Syntax: Select all

from colors import Color
from events import Event
from players.entity import PlayerEntity
from players.helpers import index_from_userid
from weapons.entity import WeaponEntity


@Event
def player_say(game_event):
    player = PlayerEntity(index_from_userid(game_event.get_int('userid')))
    player.color = Color(255,0,0,255)
    for index in player.weapon_indexes():
        weapon = WeaponEntity(index)
        print(weapon.classname)
        print(weapon.render_mode)
        weapon.color = Color(255,0,0,255)

And the output/error:

Syntax: Select all

weapon_knife

NameError: 'rendermode' is not a valid KeyValue for entity class 'CKnife'.


Entity 93 (class 'weapon_knife') reported ENTITY_CHANGE_NONE but 'm_nRenderMode'
 changed.

The interesting thing is that getting the render_mode works fine, as in my last print statement. However, setting the render_mode causes the error to occur.
