HOW COME PLAYMAKER SET PARTICLE SYSTEM COLOR DOESNT WORK?

I can't seem to get the particle systems to change color via the set properties action.


Is this a problem for anyone else?

UPDATE: particlesystem.startcolor changes the color only if it is run several times a second or every frame.

HOWEVER, particlesystem.startcolor.a (i assume this is the alpha), particlesystem.startcolor.r (red), particlesystem.startcolor.g (green), particlesystem.startcolor.b (blue)  DO NOT WORK, they dont work if i run them once, and they dont work if i run them repeatedly or even at every frame....


this isnt a game breaker for me, but boy it'll make it much more obfuscated if i cant simply change color by setting the red green blue and alpha values via numbers.....

has anyone else tried to use set color action for particle systems ?? I know it's a little more advanced than most of the other features but boy i would love to utilize this feature set

GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY!

So um basically what i did is i set a color variable, and then i set that variable using the playmaker action set color rgba, then i used particlesystem.startcolor using the color variable set by the first action, so instead of setting the particle system values directly i just set the values of a color variable, then applied that variable to the particle system giving me the randomness of color i was looking for!
