Colors are not as expected

[zeoka]

Hi
I would to change color of some elements using LUA and this gives different colors than
those i want .
I wanted for “disabe” position same color as “c1” and
for “enable” same color as outline groups
I try to build custom buttons i could do an image but i would not use ressource…

Any idea ?

setProperty sets the property as an INTEGER in your case, notice your notation

setProperty ("prop", 0xff0000ff, false)

this sets the property to that large number, and colours are STRING representation of an ARGB color, so either

setProperty ("prop", "0xff0000ff", false)

or

c = Colour(0xff0000ff)
setProperty ("prop", c:toString(), false)

Thank you Atom

I take care of your second method , useful if the colour is used multiple times in the script

Is it possible to get multiple components at once
ex method = panel:getComponent(“mod”,”mod2″…) and later aplly changes

Each time i must use many lines to do one same thing to many mod

Is there a way ?

There are multiple ways to do that. First, Lua has tables and you can keep pointers to modulators in a table

modulatorTable["mod1"] = panel:getModulatorByName("mod1")
modulatorTable["mod2"] = panel:getModulatorByName("mod2")

etc. Then all the Lua/Table stuff applies, http://lua-users.org/wiki/TablesTutorial You can use that to store your modulators at panel startup and later just access them through the table

Also there is a special method that returns a table of modulators based on a wildcard applied to theirs name, assuming that your modulator names start with “mod” and you have 2 of them (or more), you could do:

t = panel:getModulatorsWildcard("mod*", true)
console ("mods in table: "..#t)

and the “t” will be a table of modulators found.

I’m sure with Lua you can use loads of other methods to keep modulators. You can index the tables using numbers, string, hell if you have a look at the tutorial you can use other functions as keys. So there is a lot you can do.
