My first add on

[Jonnycake]

I am just now deciding to try to script and i have a few questions.
1.How do you get the colors for the add on and how to you apply them to the right part of the addon like for a weapon you want a gray trigger how do you out the gray on the trigger?

2.How do you get the pictures for like what the gun will look like and what the icon looks like?

What, This has nothing relative to coding at all. This belongs in General Modification Help.

You see the black50, grey75 and all the stuff like that? Those are "Color Forcers" as I like to call them. If you have paint.net, open them up with it. You see it is a transparent grey and each one is a different shade of it. In the script, there is something called a colorshift. That shifts the model's color like how the Duplicator became green. If you change the color, some parts of the model will ALWAYS be darker then others. The colorshift part of the script changes it using RGB. You can get a correct RGB using Paint.net

and what about icons and shapes?

Like model shapes? For a beginner, use Milkshape. Azerath wrote a tutorial on Milkshape add-ons somewhere in the modding section. For Icons like when you hold a weapon, you do this. Go into construct and take a picture using ctrl-p or whatever you have screenshot bound to. Then edit everything out with Paint.net

Then put it in a 64x64 canvas and save it as icon_whatever.png

Then go in the downloads section and hit "upload"

It then will guide you through there.
