Random colour fill from a range of preselected colours
Hello to the community!
Does someone has an idea or could explain the approach to achieve the following animation with windows? –> https://www.sibelga.be/uploads/assets/681/fr/1450961754421-joyeusesfetesFR.gif
<font face=”inherit”>I exported .ai file in ae, with two layers – top fill and bottom fill (windows). The </font>second layer has (x)amount of groups for each shape (window).
<font face=”inherit”>I tried to </font>randomise<font face=”inherit”> the fill colour, but it applies the whole layer. Although I am not sure if that is an accurate description, because I have three colours from which the shapes should fill.</font>
Any suggestions on how to move forward or another approach?
Many thanks,
Katya

It would be best to write a script for randomizing the fill. The steps it executes could be:
-Use a loop to cycle through all shapes in the selected layer
-For each one, add a fill property if it doesn’t already exist (to the shapes, not the layer)
-Pick a random fill color from an array of predetermined colors
That last step would include something like:
var currentFill = //your shape's fill property
var redFill = [1,0,0,1];
var yellowFill = [1,1,0,1];
var orangeFill = [1,.5,0,1];
var fillList = [redFill, yellowFill, orangeFill];
var randomFill = fillList[Math.floor(Math.random()*fillList.length)];
currentFill = randomFill;
