How would anyone write a command like:on darkenObject pID -- darkens whatever you hand it get the backcolor of pID repeat with i = 1 to 3 put max(0,item i of it - 20) into item i of it end repeat set the backcolor of pID to it end darkenObject The moment you hand that an object with a backcolor of red, or #808080, that command dies an ugly death.
Yup, that's been an issue forever. We need a property called "the rgbColor". The inability to retrieve RGB values from an object forces ugly workarounds like this one, which requires an entire LC lesson:
