How could I copy selected color to a secondary canvas to show the selected color?

Hey!

I'm working on a project to make a teeth chart where indivitual sides of the teeth can be painted according to the color chosen.

My issue here is that its 99% done but I cant understand how could i make the canvas next to the small Sprites to show the chose color.

Ask more info if needed!

Thank you!

Using a canvas object to display the selected color would be rather cumbersome. Either you have a premade list/dictionary of the selections and colors to fill the canvas with, or you use the canvas that covers the whole area to take a snapshot, look up the color at the coordinates that were clicked, and then fill the display area with that color.

Personally I'd just use a sprite object with all the colors as animation frames, and set it the right frame when selecting a color.

If you need to detect a color, after pasting it on the drawing canvas use "Save snapshot" action, then "Wait for previous action to complete". And after that you can get the color of any pixel using DrawingCanvas.SnapshotRedAt, DrawingCanvas.SnapshotGreenAt, DrawingCanvas.SnapshotBlueAt expressions.

But it probably would be easier just to store color values in instance variables on the color palette sprites.

Yeah, thank you for your help!

I have watched that video and it's great. I'm not a construct pro so I am confused that how this should be done in steps.

Because the color should be detected before it was pasted to the "teeth canvas". And these sprites have the colors already in instance variables, so i wonder what could be the best option to copy the clicked color of the sprite to the canvas.
