Custom Colors for members

[Killerhamster10]

Hey,

I try to make a script which do, that users which nicks includes a special tag, write in another color as normal users

Is this possible?

I tried it with this script but i allways get errors:

function setPlayerChatColor(message)
thePlayer = getPlayerName(thePlayer) 
if thePlayer:find("TAG//") then
      outputChatBox(..message..,231,106,12)
end
cancelEvent() 
end
 
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), setPlayerChatColor() )

Greetings,

Hint: Always show what errors you get. Might help us a lot to help you.

... = getPlayerName(thePlayer)

I don't see "thePlayer" being defined anywhere, do you?

Use "source" instead of "thePlayer".

Also:

outputChatBox(..message..,231,106,12)

If you just want to output the message itself, then remove the "..", because this means merging 2 values into a string. (for instance combining a string with another string, or adding a number in a string)

Okay i added:

local thePlayer = getPlayerName(thePlayer)

But now it says:

atempt to to index local 'theplayer'

I really don't know what to do >.<

I suggest you to try reading what I said again.

I replaced now the theplayer with source but some error.

Maybe i understood something wrong?

I'm new to coding, so please don't be angry about me

Which thePlayer did you change? The first one? You should use source (this is player element since onPlayer... events give you player element in source variable) in your getPlayerName() call.

Hey,

This is my script:

function setPlayerChatColor(message)
local thePlayer = getPlayerName(source) 
if thePlayer:find("TAG//") then
      outputChatBox(message,231,106,12)
end
end
 
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), setPlayerChatColor )

And now it writes the message in the outputChatBox, but my problem is, that this is not why i really want

I only want that members who have the Clan Tag in there name write in another color

Maybe you can tell me how to do this?

eh, i think it should be like

function setPlayerChatColor(message)
local thePlayer = getPlayerName(source)
if thePlayer:find("TAG//") then
cancelEvent()
outputChatBox(thePlayer..': '..message,getRootElement(),231,106,12)
end
end
 
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), setPlayerChatColor )

this script doesnt change anything

[DakiLLa]

Well, little typo, he wants that the name of player will be another color:

outputChatBox('#E76A0C'..thePlayer..': #FAFAFA'..message,getRootElement(),0,0,0,true)

Okay it is working, thx!

But now we have another problem:

We want to use teamchat for admins only, so that only admins can read it.

With the script i'm now using the teamchat doesn't work

Is there a way to make it work again?
