Function syntax
llSetColor(
  1. vector color,// Color vector in RGB <R, G, B> (values from 0.0 to 1.0).
  2. integer face// Face number or ALL_SIDES. Values: Faces
);

Sets the Blinn-Phong diffuse RGB color of face. If face is ALL_SIDES, applies the color to all faces.

Sets the Blinn-Phong color on face of the prim.

How to use
llSetColor(ZERO_VECTOR, 0);

Caveats

Section titled “Caveats”

  • llSetColor will have no visible effect on faces with a PBR material. To work on faces both with and without a PBR material, use this snippet:

    if (llIsLinkGLTFMaterial(LINK_THIS, ALL_SIDES)) {
        llSetLinkGLTFOverrides(LINK_THIS, ALL_SIDES, [OVERRIDE_GLTF_BASE_COLOR_FACTOR, llsRGB2Linear(color)]);
    } else {
        llSetColor(color, ALL_SIDES);
    }

Examples

Section titled “Examples”
Example 1
integer face = -1;
vector color = <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>;


default
{
    touch_start(integer num)
    {
        if(~face)       //quick & dirty but efficient way of testing if face is not equal to -1
            llSetColor(color, face); //restore the color
        face = (face + 1) % llGetNumberOfSides(); //increment and keep the face number in range
        color = llGetColor(face); //save the face's color
        llSetColor(<0.5, 0.0, 0.0>, face );  //change the face's color
    }
}
