entity_tint

type: "entity_tint"

Fills the entity with the effect colour accounting for its texture (the texture is the alpha mask, so the effect follows the silhouette).

Fields

Entity effects are targeted with /vfx playentity or the entity_selector field and also accept the shared definition fields (duration, easing, loop, persistent, fade_ticks, sound).

Field	Type	Default	Meaning
color_r/g/b	float	0.2 / 0.6 / 1.0	Tint colour
alpha	float	0.5	Opacity
texture	float	1	1 = recolour the texture (texture x colour, the pattern stays visible); 0 = flat colour, texture only as a mask
through_blocks	float	1	1 = visible through walls, 0 = occluded
