Shaders

There are three types of damage shader

DamageFlash2D for sprites and UI
DamageFlash3D for models and environment

DamageFlash3D_Transparent for transparent geometry bits

You don’t need to use them directly but it's good to know what’s under the hood

Material Options

Tint - main color

Highlight - opposite color

Contrast Point - tweak this value if colors don't outline the model/sprite properly. Basically this is a brightness midpoint at which tint/highlight colors are separated

Contrast - additional contrast

Flash Start Time - used only from scripts
Pixel snap - 2D specific option for crisp pixel perfect sprites

Scripting

Flash() - main method, starts the effect and flashes for default duration
