I spent about an hour and half trying to pull out the red, green, and blue values of a given sector's tint and could NOT get it to work for me.

Here's what I learned:
The sector tint value from GetSectorTint() is a vector with three values, so I figured I should try to pull the red value out with GetVectorX(), but this always returns zero. So I cant get the color valuse with that, and there is no GetVectorR().

So after spending hours trying to get this to work, i came to this conclusion: wtf did they put this verb in for? Only use I can think for it is to compate a sector's current tint to another tint. But for what i'm trying to do, I need to get the actual RGB values (in some form) so i can add to them to get the fading effect i'm going for. Anybody know anything that could help me?

You are using VectorX(), right?

If so, try PrintVector(GetSectorTint(sec)). If all axes show up as zeroes, make sure you've got the right sector, and that the tint has indeed been changed.

I am using VectorX(), correct, and when I print the color tint vector, they are not all zeros.

This should work:

Flexy is a flex variable, of course.
