Getting current paint number.

[MrPickle]

Is there a function to get the current paint colour?

Check the skis.

I would do a .dump() on the client object.  The value is more than likely stored there.

[MrPickle]

Can't find anything in ski's and can't find anything in client's object.

[Trader]

Try the player object then.

[MrPickle]

Nope.

[Trader]

I'm pretty sure either the client or player object keeps track of the tools you're using.  I don't know offhand if it lists the paintcan as well.  If so, try dumping that.  I'm at work right now so I don't have a good way to check.

[MrPickle]

Player Object keeps track of your tools but the only thing it says about the paintcan is when you have it mounted "currWeaponSlot" is -1.

[Trader]

Alright.  I'll take a look at it when I get back from work.

[MrPickle]

Thank you.

I've been doing a few things with trace and found:

scrollPaint(HowMuchToScrollBy); and shiftPaintColumn(HowManyColumns); but nothing to mention what colours.

I think I've got it,

%client.player.getMountedObject(0).getName();

It returns colorNumberSprayCanImage

number being the colour number.

Code: [Select]

%paintColour = %player.getMountedImage(0).getName(); %a = strReplace(%paintColour,"color",""); %paintNumber = strReplace(%a,"SprayCanImage","");
Seems to do it, probably a simpler way just I'm not that familiar with string functions.

Code: [Select]

package paintCheck
{
 function servercmdUseSprayCan(%cl,%num)
 {
  Parent::ServercmdUseSprayCan(%cl,%num);
  %cl.spray = %num;
 }
 function gameconnection::spawnplayer(%this,%a,%b,%c)
 {
  Parent::spawnplayer(%this,%a,%b,%c);
  %this.spray = "";
 }
};
Couldn't remember whether ::spawnPlayer took a transform, the extra arguments won't affect anything.

%client.spray will be "" if no spray can has been used/you just spawned or the number of the last used spray can.

@ MrPickle

I thought it could be done that way, although there should be a way to get the datablock and / or color value even if the paint can isn't mounted.

"Colour" is a terrible spelling of the word "color".

"Colour" is a British spelling of the American word "color".

The current spraycan is probably held client-side, so you'd have to use a method like Space Guy's.

[Trader]

British spelling / terrible spelling...same thing.

[MrPickle]

Americans speak English so they should spell it colour.
