Hi, thx for reading this topic.

Would someone please explain me, how decimal notation of colors in Pawn works ? E.g. how to create RED in decimal notation ?

I really would like to understand it for to be able to script something.

Hope someone will be able to explain it.

0x[INSERT HERE HEXIDECIMAL COLORS, FOUND HERE][00-FF to determine the transperancy, FF being 0% transparent, 00 being 100% transparent]

So, for red,

0xFF0000FF

I dont care about HEXADECIMAL notation - as subject suggests i ask for explanation of decimal notation lol . You didnt explain even that HEXDEC one (which I understand of course).

Then what are you talking about? Hexadecimal is the way to make colours in PAWN.

Wiki explains you completly everything ...

1. Why bother using decimal values if you can simply use HEX?
2. Wiki says: "Hex and decimal values can be converted in each other, e.g. by using Windows' Calculator (advanced interface) "

You dont get it - I know how to confert E.G. 255 to FF etc omg thats so simple. I just dont know, how to make a color - one long integer out of value R G B - how to put them together.

Btw why to bother ? Because its gotta by function which will change color of TextDraw and it will go from Green to red - the higher speed is, the more red it is - you get it ? I cant do it by HEXcol.

I don't get what you need to know 0 is dark, 255 is light. As you already said its R G B. Are you sure you are reshowing the Textdraw after applying the color? Otherwise your changes won't be seen till its redrawn.


[Edit]
Red (well a crimson rather good for a speedo) = rgb(220, 20, 60)
Yellow = rgb(238, 238, 0)
Green = rgb(131, 245, 44)

Never go to 255 across all colors that's white, even going to say 250 tends to be a washed out color.
