Fade between two tint maps
Hi everybody,
AC 1.75.6 and Unity LTS 2021.3.0f1 in 2d.
I have a situation where, in the same scene, I changed the background and so I need to change the tint map too. But I have a light tint map and a dark tint map and when I use "Scene/Change Settings/Change TintMap" the changement is too sharp. So I need a soft way to make it (ex. a fade).
Is there some workaround?
Thank you very much.

TintMaps read the assigned Texture directly - it'll return a fixed colour for a given point.
With some hacking, you could feasibly modify the FollowTintMap script to read the values of two TintMaps and lerp between them - but I'd say URP's 2D lighting supersedes them now.
Hi Chris, thank you very much. Just a doubt: I can use the 2d lighting instead of tint map and it seems to work well, but if I have to animate for example intensity or color in a exact moment (ex. I change the background with an action and I want to fade the lighting to another intensity and color), have I to create an action to do it? And about the remember of the data? Thank you again.
2D Light properties can be animated as normal using Unity's Animator system, and then controlled with AC using the Object: Animate Action.
The state of an Animator can be stored in save-game files by attaching the Remember Animator component.
Thank you very much.
I don't need to fade between tint maps for the game I'm currently developing, but I worry a little about it being considered superseded by URP's 2D lighting. So many of us have had good reasons to avoid URP altogether. I know Unity claims it is the future, but there are good reasons to be suspicious of this claim.
What I'm asking is: please don't drop support for tintmaps!
