[ANSWERED] Getting colour as values

[Fred]

I wanted to try find a way to get RGBA values from the colour maker RGBA actor, I connected it to a calculator just to see and it does output a number. Is it possible to decode those values into separate R G B A values?

[Woland]

Yes, it is possible

@woland cool, can't believe I missed it. But My ideas on the number format that comes directly put of the color maker?

It is a 32 bit number composed of ARGB - AARRGGBB where each component is a value from 0 to 255 (0x00 to 0xFF).

This patch shows how to manually decode it using the Logical Calculator.
