All my objects are made through the "Make Object" command and while the colour I've selected is actually quite bright, the objects come out realyl dull. I figured this had something to do with ambient so I tried messing around with that but they still come out dull but with a lighter tone. My other thought was that if I turned off their light and ambient flags then they should come out with full colour but instead they're completely white.

Anyone know how to give objects a bright look (not glowing)? Basically I want it so if I enter RGB(255,0,0) as the colour, then if I take a screenshot and check the colour values it should be RGB(255,0,0). Thanks.

do you mean something like this?

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60
set ambient light 100

Col as Dword


ink rgb(255,0,0),1
box 0,0,32,32
get image 1,0,0,32,32
cls

make object cube 1,1
texture object 1,1

disable escapekey
while escapekey()=0

mx = mousex()
my = mousey()


Col = point(mx,my)
text 1,1,STR$(col)

sync
endwhile
delete object 1
end

Sort of but no, I still want the shading but the overall object to be brighter like that colour.

I.e. Here would be the dull object:

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60

Col as Dword

make object cube 1,1
color object 1, RGB(255,0,0)

disable escapekey

while escapekey()=0

   mx = mousex()
   my = mousey()


   Col = point(mx,my)
   text 1,1,STR$(col)

   Turn Object Right 1, 1

   sync
endwhile

delete object 1
end

Fortunately all I had to do was remove the ambient from your code to get what I wanted:

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60

Col as Dword

ink rgb(255,0,0),1
box 0,0,32,32
get image 1,0,0,32,32
cls

make object cube 1,1
texture object 1,1

disable escapekey
while escapekey()=0

mx = mousex()
my = mousey()


Col = point(mx,my)
text 1,1,STR$(col)

sync
endwhile
delete object 1
end

So it helped a lot, thanks.
