Color Picker Tool

1 KB, 14 years ago, submitted by BobAndRob

Just type /pickColor while looking at a brick to change your spray can to the color of that brick.

This is useful in maps with colored lighting, as well as in colorsets with many similar colors.

Fantastic! But one question: is this server side or client side?

but it might come in handy for some people

its alright...

@Hyperbob
It's server sided. If it were client sided, I would have put it in the "Client-side Mods" section.

LOL, that was not intentional. I released an earlier version of this on the normal forums that was all one line, just for the heck of it. Also 'cause I couldn't let Truce be the only one who can claim to have done that.

You should have an item with this function. If you can, you could use something that looks like a dropper. Or a printer. Or a spraycan. A spraycan would work.

BobAndRob 14 years ago

I thought of having a spray-can that gets sprayed by the brick instead of the other way around. Once the spray can is sprayed, it can spray other bricks that color too.

Although perhaps an eye-dropper would look good too as that's the icon for a color picker in nearly every image editing program I've ever seen.

However I really like the fact that it's just a serverCmd, because as it is now, it doesn't increase your loading time by giving you YET ANOTHER model to download.

nice add rob'n'bob
can anyone tell me how to make a keybind?

BobAndRob 14 years ago

@russian

Code:

function colorKeybind() {
   commandToServer('pickColor');
}
$remapCmd[$remapCount] = colorKeybind;
$remapName[$remapCount] = "Pick Color";
$remapDivision[$remapCount] = "Color Picker Tool";
$remapCount++;

This is an awsome Add-on tool, This is a 10/10

A very nice add-on, useful when lights are on and colors get distorted, but would you mind going through the trouble of a short command, such as /pc?

intresting! may come in handy thanks!

Flying Ace 14 years ago

would have been cooler if you added it as a paint can under E under effects colim and spray a brick and it will automatically change to that color kinda like the droper in paint

BL_ID11568 13 years ago

@ Flying ace that would be hacking and impossible UNLESS a new blockland version comes out like that.

Id like it more if it was an actual item, but its still useful. 4/5. (5/5 if you make it into an item :3)

Robotboy2000 13 years ago

This is very, very useful... 10/10

Zero52137 13 years ago

I have no modding experience, but would it possible that, if you wanted this to be an item, you could make it like a gun, and when the projectile hits that brick, your spraycan is auto pulled out with the color selected? And same for melee item. It would be more convenient to have something you could just pull out and use instead of typing in a command each time.

@Zero52137 yea thats what im thinking instead of "/pickColor"

Finnaly Just what i needed

camdenverycool 13 years ago

I always wanted to know what color other people use on there builds! Now I know! 5/5

ARMORD RAPTER 13 years ago

@Flying Ace, that isnt achievable through Torque engine. Bl is Torque engine so.. It can't be in the colourset. for one it would have to be a colourset and not an actuall item datablock. and for another, it has to be in the item datablock mode to function correctly.
