Is there a way to make an object say the vector of the color on side whatever :P

I need and object when its clicked say its color in chat in vector form so if its red it would say <255,0,0> aloud in chat. If this is possible please help thank you.

OK, well, it may be possible to do ...

CODE
vector myVect = <1,3.1,1>;
string myString = (string)myVect;


but I don't know if that will work. However, you can split up the components of the vector such that...

CODE
vector myVect = <1,1,1>;
float x = myVext.x;
float y = myVect.y;
float z = myVect.z;

string myString = "<" + (string)x + "," + (string)y + "," + (string)z + ">";


which should work properly.

CODE
touch_start(integer num_detected)
{
    llWhisper(0, (string)llGetColor(face));
}

You have to specify 'face'. Touch events don't detect where an object was touched.

Ah, good point, I missed that one.

This should work and reply a CSV string... I don't think it puts angle brackets around it, but it might do. The ability to split and get x, y, z components out is nice though, for some things.
