int PackBytes(int byte1, int byte2, int byte3, int byte4)
Packs four bytes into one integer and returns the result. The bytes must be in [0, 255] range.
The packed values can be retrieved using UnpackByte.
You can also pack shorts (-32768 to 32767) using PackShorts.
If you need more extreme packing, you should code it yourself.
int packed = PackBytes(10, 11, 12, 13); UnpackByte1(packed) -> 10 UnpackByte2(packed) -> 11 UnpackByte3(packed) -> 12 UnpackByte4(packed) -> 13
Passing a color to a script:
function void SomeFunction(void) { // red, green, blue, alpha int color = PackBytes(255, 128, 0, 128); ACS_ExecuteAlways(somescript, 0, x, y, color); } script somescript (int x, int y, int color) { int r = UnpackByte1(color); int g = UnpackByte2(color); int b = UnpackByte3(color); int a = UnpackByte4(color); }
