As the title said,

The issue I don't know how to convert 3 values of colors to 1, let's say yellow ( R = 255, G = 255, B = 0), in the 255 one color value is 111 ( I didnt calculate this, I have a pic that has every value from 0 to 255).

I want to know how to calculate that.

What? Rgb is 3 colors, red, green and blue. What do you mean 1 value? For rgb you always need 3.

Yes, I know, an example is best way to describe:

I am using random values to make random color to an entity (glow), and this chance we've got this value

PHP Code:

static Float:fColors[3]
fColors[0] = 255.0
fColors[1] = 255.0
fColors[2] = 0.0

set_pev(Ent, pev_rendercolor, fColors)
// And ofcourse render mode 


and I am using pev_colormap as well as one of the textures of the model has the flag, basically coloring the same color, the issue is pev_colormap is 0-255, one value... not three dimensions.

You didnt get me, that was just an example of the color yellow, the issue is converting the 3 dimensions of the color values to 1 dimension so I can spawn the same color in pev_colormap

X value / 3 is not the solution for sure, it will give another color in pev_colormap.

pev_rendercolor = 3 dimensions RGB 0-255 0-255 0-256
pev_colormap = 1 dimension 0-255


Edit : correct, its random_float

[Jhob94]

pev_colormap is not what you think it is

Search hue to RGB colors

[Hellkong]

I believe this is what I want, I've searched a bit and it's complicated maths, can you give me direct calculation?
I am using random RGB floats for each dimension.

I already gave you the answer of how colormap works.
Watch this video, maybe it helps you understand what colormap does

Here ya go a model I use for more clarification, spawn an entity with the glow render mode, make random color values and see how to figure out the same color :
