Could someone please help me here, I need to read an entity's colour settings (RGB values) - so that they can be stored in a type to re-apply them later - I have the textures applied to the mesh no problem, but the RGB values are giving me grief!!!
Entitycolor just sets the values but is there a command to read the color values? - I apologise in advance if its a simple command switch, I just cant find it in the help / ref manual
Any help would be appreciated
Try using GetEntityBrush or GetSurfaceBrush? You can't read the rgb values, but you can store the brush to reapply later.
im using getsurfacebrush to get the texture layers, (which works fine) - i need to find a way of reading the rgb values to store them as im going to apply a base color to the mesh and strip all textures from it, then do a LOS check (along the lines of OpticEvils), then reapply the textures and colors if they have a colour setting.
I hope your not intending to do that every frame.... if you are I suggest you rethink unless you only have like 1 object with a 32x32 texture on it. Seriously reading rgb values is a slow process especially on large images/textures.
Sunteam - does that mean you know how to read the rgb values?
I have a prototype working without reading the rgb values (in fact I ensure they are all set to white at the start - which I know is the default anyway), so ill work with that and post my speed results.
