Set the color of a take marker

[krizz]

Hi,

I bet someone in here can tell me, what value I can enter to choose the color of a take marker (p.e. “red”). Tried everything from 0 – 255 but the marker allways is yellow.

reaper.SetTakeMarker( take, idx, nameIn, srcposIn, colorIn )

Thank you guys

ColorToNative ?

That was my thougt too, but this code gets me a yellow take marker:

reaper.SetTakeMarker( take, i, tostring(math.floor(timing_err)), srcpos, reaper.ColorToNative( 255, 18, 0 ) )

What am I doing wrong?

Thank's

Ah, this.

colorIn = reaper.ColorToNative( 255, 18, 0 ) | 0x1000000

Thank's jrk,

this works fine now. But what is that "| 0x1000000" for?

Open ReaScript documentation and search for this number. You'll find plenty of examples describing what it is.

It's magic. It sets a bit. Without it, the color doesn't change.

Thanks, learned something again! I'm just wondering why this crucial setting of the bit isn't given as syntax in the documentation for 'reaper.SetTakeMarker'. ;-)

The documentation has many flaws and even some API functions have no any description.

Indeed. The API documentation is a bit patchy.
