Making a brick invisible.

[MrPickle]

Is there a colour that sets the brick invisible, I done %brick.setColor(-1); it worked but gives a console error and any colour that doesn't exist just starts at 0 again and gives a console error.

I think -1 would be a paint can colour that doesn't exist.

Have you tried using a hex code or something similar?

[MrPickle]

I just had an idea to edit the function giving the error so that it doesn't.

The brick color that currently works best for invis is 255 255 255 1.

Thanks, rkynick, but that was the issue MrPickle was trying to deal with in the first place: color 63 is not invisible on everyone's color mods.

There's no way to set a bricks colour to one that isn't in the current paint set.

Sure there is.  <brick>.setColor(-1); works just fine (minus the error), but it's not in any color set.

Yeah but, invisible isn't technically a colour. You can't set a hex value of the colour or something like that.

I was replying to your quote.

In the example setColor(1);, "1" isn't a color either, but it refers to a color in the current paint set.  setColor(-1) provides the same sort of reference, but there's no defined color for -1.  So, yes you can set a brick's color to one that isn't in the current color set, if you're talking about setColor(), which we have been since the beginning of the topic.

Yes I know, I was saying you can't set it to a colour. I know the numbers represent the colours in the table, and -1 is out of that so it sets it invisible because there's no colour for it. That's what I was saying.

[Trader]

Well, in theory, -1 could represent "0 0 0 0" or "255 255 255 0" or any combination of RGB values in between.

[MrPickle]

-1 changes the bricks colour to "RGB 0" but gives a console error.

Ok this didn't work:

Code: [Select]

function getColorIDTable(%color){
if(%color $= -1){
%c = "0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000";
return %c;
}
parent::getColorIDTable(%color);
}
It is in a package.

[Space Guy]

getColorIDTable() is only used by scripting and mods (i.e. Skis), not the actual brick rendering system.

Tried anything like color 72 or something which won't exist higher than the last color of the palette?

[MrPickle]

getColorIDTable() is the function giving me the error.

Any colour that doesn't exist gives me the same error and just start from 0 again.
