How do I return the full BrickColor Pallete? [SOLVED]
I'm working on a painting tool since currently with roblox's new pallete it broke the old paint tools, and people are starting to annoy me about my game, I'm working on the color picker GUI but I dont want to spend the time making all of the buttons for BrickColors, How do I return the whole pallete and put the buttons in? Here's my code for the tool itself, the full code currently: (If you didnt get the gist, my problemo is adding the buttons and returning the color pallete)
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()
Interface = script.Parent.Interface
Item = nil
gui = Interface:Clone()
gui.Parent = player.PlayerGui
gui.BTPaintToolGUI.Visible = false
colorpallete = nil --I have no idea how to return the pallete, so it's nil
--The button creation code would go here
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function() --when the tool is equipped, we want it to do something
gui.BTPaintToolGUI.Visible = true --Make the GUI visible
clickedconn = mouse.Button1Down:connect(function() --Put a function for when you click
if mouse.Target ~= nil then --If your mouse is not clicking blank space, then run this code
if mouse.Target.Locked ~= true then --Make sure that the part is unlocked, after all, we dont want abusers :)
script.Parent.Selector.Adornee = mouse.Target --Make the selectionbox visible on the part
mouse.Target.BrickColor = script.Parent.Color.Value --Set the color
Item = mouse.Target --Set the item to the mouse target, so if you set a new color and you've still selected a part,
--it will roll over the same part.
else --If not..
script.Parent.Selector.Adornee = nil --Hide the SelectionBox
Item = nil --Remove the item
end
else --If the part's locked then
script.Parent.Selector.Adornee = nil --Hide the selectionbox
Item = nil --Remove the item
end
end)
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function() --When the tool is unequipped, we want it to stop itself
clickedconn:disconnect() --Stop the clicking so that you cant use the tool when unequipped
gui.BTPaintToolGUI.Visible = false --Hide the GUI
end)
Please help guys, It took me a while to get most of it to work

If you print out some things from BrickColor.palette, you'll notice they're in the same order as the hexagon palette used by Studio:
print( BrickColor.palette(0) ) -- Earth green, top left print( BrickColor.palette(6) ) -- Navy blue, top right
That means the hex is just numbered like this:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126
It's like a really awkward rectangle.
If it were a rectangle, the code to make this would be pretty simple:
local i = 0
for y = 0, H-1 do
for x = 0, W-1 do
local color = BrickColor.palette(i)
local position = Vector2.new(x, y)
-- (make the gui)
i = i + 1
end
end
This is really close to working for this. W just has to vary by row. The first row, it's 7, the next, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 12, 11, ..., 7.
You could hardcode that list, or use loops.
A solution
Here's how to save some typing. First, make the for x loop a function, called something like row:
function row(W, y)
for x = 0, W - 1 do
local color = BrickColor.palette(i)
local position = Vector2.new(x, y)
-- (make the gui)
i = i + 1
end
end
next, just call row a bunch:
local y = 0
-- 7, 8, .., 12, 13
for W = 7, 13 do
row(W, y)
y = y + 1
end
-- 12, ..., 8, 7
for W = 12, 7, -1 do
row(W, y)
y = y + 1
end
This will almost work, except that we're only varying the width of each row, not the left side. Thus it will look like this:

To get it to look like a hexagon, just center each row, as normal - by subtracting half the width:
local position = Vector2.new(x - W / 2, y)
You'll get something that looks like this:

This is missing the gray colors. I think they might just be the remaining colors. There's few enough that it wouldn't be difficult to hard code them, anyway.
Drawing the box
Drawing the boxes is pretty simple. You just need to make a TextButton, set its BackgroundColor, and set its Position.
function box(color, x, y)
local m = Instance.new("TextButton", script.Parent)
m.Size = UDim2.new(0, 20, 0, 15)
m.Position = UDim2.new(0, x * 20, 0, y * 15)
m.BackgroundColor3 = color.Color
end
Then just call box(color, x - W/2, y) in the appropriate place.
Full Solution
function box(color, x, y)
local m = Instance.new("TextButton", script.Parent)
m.Size = UDim2.new(0, 20, 0, 15)
m.Position = UDim2.new(0, x * 20, 0, y * 15)
m.BackgroundColor3 = color.Color
end
local i = 0
function row(W, y)
for x = 0, W - 1 do
local color = BrickColor.palette(i)
box(color, x - W/2, y)
i = i + 1
end
end
local y = 0
-- 7, 8, .., 12, 13
for W = 7, 13 do
row(W, y)
y = y + 1
end
-- 12, ..., 8, 7
for W = 12, 7, -1 do
row(W, y)
y = y + 1
end
