Hey I was wondering how to get the rainbow paint fade(shown here:

) as opposed to the regular random loop(shown here:

You would want to use a linear interpolation (lerp) function. A quick google search should find you what you are looking for.

could you link an example? I cant find a good one

Here is a (C#) example. This is just one of many ways to do it. The most important function is "Lerp" which allows you to smoothly transition between color values.

using System;using System.Drawing;using GTA;namespace ColorInterpolator{    public static class Extensions    {        private static double Lerp(double d1, double d2, double d)        {            return d1 + (d2 - d1) * d;        }        public static Color FadeTo(this Color color1, Color color2, double d)        {            double r = Lerp(color1.R, color2.R, d);            double g = Lerp(color1.G, color2.G, d);            double b = Lerp(color1.B, color2.B, d);            return Color.FromArgb((int)r, (int)g, (int)b);        }    }    public class ScriptMain : Script    {        public ScriptMain()        {            Tick += RunFrame;        }        /// <summary>        /// Total time to fade between colors in millseconds        /// </summary>        private readonly int FadeTime = 700;        private static readonly Color[] ColorList =        {            Color.Red,            Color.Green,            Color.Blue        };        private float fadeAmount;        private int colorIndex;            private Color startColor = ColorList[0],            endColor = ColorList[1];        private Color currentColor;        void RunFrame(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            if (fadeAmount < 1.0f)            {                fadeAmount += Game.LastFrameTime * (1000.0f / FadeTime);                if (fadeAmount < 0.0f)                    fadeAmount = 0.0f;                else if (fadeAmount > 1.0f)                    fadeAmount = 1.0f;                currentColor = startColor.FadeTo(endColor, fadeAmount);            }            else            {                colorIndex++;                colorIndex %= ColorList.Length;                startColor = currentColor;                endColor = ColorList[colorIndex];                fadeAmount = 0.0f;            }        }    }}

You could add any amount of colors to the ColorList and they would be added to the fade sequence. You can adjust the 'FadeTime' to make it fade faster (or slower).
