Example
This example will find all the blips that exist and set them all to white if they aren't white already.
-- Retrieve a table containing all the blips that exist local blips = getElementsByType ( "blip" ) -- Loop through the list, storing the blip from the table in the variable blipValue for blipKey, blipValue in ipairs ( blips ) do -- Retrieve the blip's colors into the variables red, green, blue and alpha local red, green, blue, alpha = getBlipColor ( blipValue ) -- If the blip's icon isn't white already if ( red ~= 255 or green ~= 255 or blue ~= 255 or alpha ~= 255 ) then -- Set the blip's color to white setBlipColor ( blipValue, 255, 255, 255, 255 ) end end
