<function name="SetColor" parent="Entity" type="classfunc"> <description>Sets the color of an entity. Some entities may need a custom [render mode](Enums/RENDERMODE) set for transparency to work. See example 2.<br/> Entities also must have a proper [render group](Enums/RENDERGROUP) set for transparency to work. ⤶ When rendering a model manually via <page>Entity:SetNoDraw</page> inside <page>ENTITY:Draw</page>, you may need to use <page>render.SetColorModulation</page> in the render hook (where you call <page>Entity:DrawModel</page>) instead.⤶ </description> <realm>Shared</realm> <file line="180-L194">lua/includes/extensions/entity.lua</file> <args> <arg name="color" type="table" default="Color(255, 255, 255, 255)">The color to set.
