What function is called when switching paint can to another color?

[BluetoothBoy]

I need to set the paint can's color manually, but trace(); isn't helping much with this one...

serverCmdUseSprayCan is what you should look into. Not sure if this is exactly what you are going for, but for getting a person's current paint color, it's %client.currentColor.

EDIT:
This might help as something to look at.

for(%i=0;%i<PaintRowGroup.getCount();%i++) {
      %obj=PaintRowGroup.getObject(%i);
      if(%obj.getName()$="PaintRow")
         %row+=%obj.numSwatches;
   }
   %row-=9;
   for(%i=0;%i<%row;%i++) {
      %temp=getColorIDTable(%i);

Any chance you could tell me what this chunk of code accomplishes? I'm not very good at looking at other's code any figuring out it's functionality.

[ZSNO]

You can use:
shiftPaintColumn(%dir) where %dir is the number of columns to shift by, can be positive or negative
scrollPaint(%dir) where %dir is the number of vertical colors to shift by, can be positive or negative
You can get the current paint color with $currSprayCanIndex

[Cruxeis]

Actually, it depends on if you want this to be client sided or server sided. I believe that ZSNO's way is for client, try using what I told you for server.

[BluetoothBoy]

I'm assuming that serverCmduseSprayCan's one argument is an RGBa value?

No. It's the paint can color in the color set, starting at 0.

[ZSNO]

You peeps really need to say if you want client or server side code...

[BluetoothBoy]

No. It's the paint can color in the color set, starting at 0.

Huh. When I use useSprayCan(#); manually in the console, regardless of the number I put in, it always simply shifted the the selection to the right.

That's because they're two different functions...

Omg I feel like an idiot now... I even knew that they weren't the same. :/ Ok, now that that's taken care of, I should have what I need, thanks.
