How do I store color as text?

Hi,

What would be the best approach to store color of a sprite (as in set by "set color") so that in can be later retrieved and set to another sprite?

So far I found the ColorValue expression but I'm not sure how is it calculated? Can individual values of r, g and b be extracted from the long number it outputs?

Thanks!

They way I would solve it is make a separate animation for the second sprite in the color of the first sprite and the n when you want to change the color just change the animation. I'm sorry for my lack of technical knowledge I am more of a story and quest writer but that is what I would personally do

Simply write ColorValue into some variable (e.g. store it in Dictionary) & retrieve it when you need it.

Perhaps try having a global variable for each RGB #, and then referencing that?

Perhaps not the most elegant solution, but it works.

The result of any color expression (rgba, rgba255, rgbex, rgbex255) is an integer number. So you can just store this number in a variable and re-use it when you need it.

Set c to rgba(100,20,20,100)
Sprite set color to c
