Question about color change for specific FX

[Jonbens]

Can someone let me know if there is a way, on a combat map, to change the color of a specific effect without changing the color of the whole map? Example, I want a myst or cloud effect to roll over my combat map but want it to be purplish. Any ideas?

Did I not answer this elsewhere, or am I imagining things? No, you can't directly change the colour of the Myst or Clouds. But you could use masking to mask areas or myst or clouds and use the colour fx to make those areas a different colour. You'd have to match the masking to each of the two fx layers.

Sorry, yes you did respond. I went in this morning and didn't see a response at first and also couldn't find my post. I thought it hadn't gone through for some reason. I only saw your response after I sent the second post. Thank you for that btw.

If you duplicate an FX layer the mask will be copied. Duplicate the layer and change the FX type on the duplicate.

See this is why you are the real GOAT here. I did not know that. And would never have ever thought of trying it. Ever.

It's a trick I learned from Joshua Watmough. It wouldn't have occurred to me otherwise.
