My Javascript function changes hex values to rgb like so:
localVars.gotColour = hexToRgb("#bceadf");

The function is returning an object which contains rgb values like so.

return {r, g, b};

But how do I get theses into the event sheet as something useable? The gotColour variable is an object with the 3 variables inside, but I cant seem to use it for anything useful. (apart from printing object r:12, g:34 b:34 to the console)

I would have expected I could do something like the following in the event sheet after the function had been run:

Set Colour to gotColour //does nothing

.or this..

Set Colour to rgbEx255(gotColour[0],gotColour[1],gotColour[2]) //bad syntax

..but those do nothing....

I guess I could write 3 different functions to each get the r,g,b values individually but that seems very messy.

Any tips?

The colors that construct support are just one single number. That js library appears to return an objects so I guess you'd get the color with rgbEx255(gotColour.r,gotColour.g,gotColour.b) but I'm almost certain that rgb function is accessed differently in js than in events.

If you want a event based solution there's this:
