GetColor function

[Legacy_Snarkblat]

               I've been experimenting a lot lately with the SetColor() and SetCreatureBodyPart() functions. I'd like to know if there's a way to define the PC's colors and apply them to an NPC, making family members for instance. Unfortunately, when I try to define variables, I get a ERROR: MISMATCHED TYPES error message.

Is there a better way? Or is the GetColor function patently useless to builders?

Here's what I have so far.

//Mom! Dad!
void main()
{

object oPC = GetFirstPC();

object oSkin = GetColor(oPC, COLOR_CHANNEL_SKIN);
object oHair = GetColor(oPC, COLOR_CHANNEL_HAIR);
object oTat1 = GetColor(oPC, COLOR_CHANNEL_TATTOO_1);
object oTat2 = GetColor(oPC, COLOR_CHANNEL_TATTOO_2);

SetColor(OBJECT_SELF, COLOR_CHANNEL_SKIN, oSkin);
SetColor(OBJECT_SELF, COLOR_CHANNEL_HAIR, oHair);
SetColor(OBJECT_SELF, COLOR_CHANNEL_TATTOO_1, oTat1);
SetColor(OBJECT_SELF, COLOR_CHANNEL_TATTOO_2, oTat2);

}

               Probably need to use ints? I don't think colours count as objects.

               Then how do I save the PC's color as a variable?

               Because it a int it be something like this I think
int iSkin = GetColor(oPC, COLOR_CHANNEL_SKIN);
int iHair = GetColor(oPC, COLOR_CHANNEL_HAIR);
int iTat1 = GetColor(oPC, COLOR_CHANNEL_TATTOO_1);
int iTat2 = GetColor(oPC, COLOR_CHANNEL_TATTOO_2);

SetColor(OBJECT_SELF, COLOR_CHANNEL_SKIN, iSkin);
SetColor(OBJECT_SELF, COLOR_CHANNEL_HAIR, iHair);
SetColor(OBJECT_SELF, COLOR_CHANNEL_TATTOO_1, iTat1);
SetColor(OBJECT_SELF, COLOR_CHANNEL_TATTOO_2, iTat2);

               Thank you, ShadowM! I plugged the script in and it worked like a charm. I didn't know about saving variables as ints until now.

Well this has certainly been illuminating. Think of the possibilities! I'm off to make a module where every time the PC "sows his seed" an illegitimate child that looks just like him shows up on his doorstep. >'>

               FYI, variables can be int, float, string, object, effect, itemproperty, location, vector and the illusive struct. If you get a mismatch error you propably have a wrong variable in the wrong place, or you compare two different types of variables in an if statement.
