Replacing sprite with one solid color?

[TemperTony]

Hi there, I've been googling this for a while but all I've come up with is how to tint the sprite which isn't the result I want (I've tested, it colorizes the sprite)

So I was wondering if it was possible to just fill the entire sprite with one solid color with no alpha channel?

Thank you!

Use "PIXI.Texture.WHITE" and tint it. That's also how pixi works when you make Graphics with only one Rectangle.

Use PIXI.Texture,WHITE + tint.

I'm sorry, I'm a newb. Could you show me an example of PIXI.Texture.WHITE?

Here you go:

 

var sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(PIXI.Texture.WHITE);
sprite.tint = 0xff0000; //Change with the color wanted
sprite.width = 100;
sprite.height = 100;

maincontainer.addChild(sprite);

Or if it's something that currently exists you could change the sprites .texture to PIXI.Texture.WHITE and tint it.

[Edit]. If you need to have sprite change between normal display and completely tinted then just keep the normal texture stored somewhere and set it back to texture after tinting part is done.

Would setting something that already exists to PIXI.Texture.WHITE be done like this?

sprite.texture = PIXI.Texture.WHITE

Yep, that is the way.

I know this is a rather old post, but when I try the solution, I get white squares where I expected the original texture shape painted solid white. 

// texture is the actual shaped and colored texture:
this.sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);
this.sprite.texture = PIXI.Texture.WHITE;

@KoolieTheKangaroo

just use dark tint.
