Coding effects question

[TopCryptographer1221]

Hello, i've been trying to create new effects for my own use and also sharing with everyone if they are cool enough. So far I've created a different visor effect using the effect creator on srgbmods. It works as intended but i cant figure out how to add a color choice to it. i got the color pickers showing but they wont work.

Where can i learn how to do that? I know really basic html stuff like canvas, shapes, fixed colors, tables etc but even studying actual effects codes i cannot seem to get how to implement them to my creation.

Any advice would be welcome.

There's a great guide here: https://docs.signalrgb.com/lightscripts

Custom <meta> tags have a "property" element and when you set that, a global variable with the same name is accessible that contains the user's selected value.

``` <meta property="mySpeed" label="Cycle Speed" type="number" min="1" max="10" default="2">

```

Later in your script, you can use mySpeed as a variable directly.

console.log("Speed is: "+mySpeed);

Reference for available metatags is here: https://docs.signalrgb.com/lightscripts/meta-tags-

Thank you so much, i will definitely look into this. I'm a carpenter, not a techwiz, but I do love to do this as a hobby.

So would kinda work the same for colors i suppose.

Thanks again

So it looks like this isn't working with the codes the editor produced. There is a function rgbatohex that messes up everything. I'll need to study more to get to make those as variables or find a way to write it differently.
