solidsnake14 made this ones

local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor ( source )

end
end
 
function onPlayerLogin ( )
local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local tagColorRed = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorRed" )
local tagColorGreen = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorGreen" )         
local tagColorBlue = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorBlue" )         
if tagColorRed and tagColorGreen and tagColorBlue then
setPlayerNametagColor ( source, tagColorRed, tagColorGreen, tagColorBlue )
end
end
end
 
function onPlayerSpawn ( )
local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local tagColorRed = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorRed" )
local tagColorGreen = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorGreen" )         
local tagColorBlue = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorBlue" )         
if tagColorRed and tagColorGreen and tagColorBlue then
setPlayerNametagColor ( source, tagColorRed, tagColorGreen, tagColorBlue )
end
end
end 
 
function onPlayerWasted ( )
local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor ( source )
setAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorRed", r )
setAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorGreen", g )
setAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorBlue", b )         
end
end
 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerQuit )
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerLogin", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerLogin )
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerWasted )
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerSpawn )

AND i was making kinda the same but then saving car colors 1-2

function onPlayerQuit ( )
local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local r, g, b = getVehicleColor ( source )
setAccountData ( playeraccount, "vehColorRed", r )
setAccountData ( playeraccount, "vehColorGreen", g )
setAccountData ( playeraccount, "vehColorBlue", b )         
end
end
 
function onPlayerLogin ( )
local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local vehColorRed = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorRed" )
local vehColorGreen = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorGreen" )         
local vehColorBlue = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorBlue" )         
if vehColorRed and vehColorGreen and vehColorBlue then
setVehicleColor ( source, vehColorRed, vehColorGreen, vehColorBlue )
end
end
end
 
function onPlayerSpawn ( )
local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local vehColorRed = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorRed" )
local vehColorGreen = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorGreen" )         
local vehColorBlue = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "ColorBlue" )         
if vehColorRed and vehColorGreen and vehColorBlue then
setVehicleColor ( source, vehColorRed, vehColorGreen, vehColorBlue )
end
end
end 
 
function onPlayerWasted ( )
local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local r, g, b = getVehicleColor ( source )
setAccountData ( playeraccount, "vehColorRed", r )
setAccountData ( playeraccount, "vehColorGreen", g )
setAccountData ( playeraccount, "vehColorBlue", b )         
end
end
 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerQuit )
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerLogin", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerLogin )
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerWasted )
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerSpawn )

but its not working it gives the error bad eventhandler (no lines or anything)

can anyone help, because tag color and veh color may not overwrite each other

if soeone dies i get this error

warning: 30-38: bad argument @ setvehiclecolor

[kevin11]

[kevin11]

anyone

we see your topic. be patient and dont bump it

Ok, first thing I notice is you seem to be using "setVehicleColor" wrong.

It does not go by r, g, b.

Each car has different colour 'boxes' and each argument given to "setVehicleColor" is the colour ID for each box, not the RGB values for just one 'box'.

Also, your trying to set the vehicle colour of the player? this obviously won't work.

Study this page: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetVehicleColor

An example from me, for the usage of setVehicleColor is:

local myCar = createVehicle(496, 0, 0, 0)
function MyCarColour(myCar)
setVehicleColor(myCar, 3)
end

^The example above would spawn a Blista Compact(496) at the co-ords of 0,0,0 (x,y,z) and then set the vehicle's colour to red.

anymore help

[Castillo]

anymore help

yes, start to learn by yourself some time

[TheRealCow]

kevin, setVehicleColor must added whit ID-s, not RGB

[Castillo]

here it is, should work ( at least in my server did )

server.lua

function onPlayerQuit ( )
local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local c1 = nil
local c2 = nil
local c1,c2,c3,c4 = getVehicleColor (getPedOccupiedVehicle(source))
setAccountData (playeraccount, "carcolor1", c1)
setAccountData (playeraccount, "carcolor2", c2)
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerQuit )
 
function onPlayerLogin ( )
local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local c1 = nil
local c2 = nil
local c1 = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "carcolor1" )
local c2 = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "carcolor2" )         
if c1 and c2 then
		veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(source)
if veh then
setVehicleColor ( veh, c1, c2, 0, 0 )
end
end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerLogin", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerLogin )

The code in the post above will work, but only if they're in a car AS SOON AS the player logs in (which has a really slim chance of being possible by common practice, as if the player has any reason to login they'd do that first. unless you make your own event (if you use a custom login system) and trigger it when they login.)

It will also only work if the car has two colours (which most don't).

i just made an example of how to do it.

Yes, I know.

Off-topic: Your 14 years old and you love the MGS series, a good conclusion, yes?

[kevin11]

hes not 14

anyway

i added wasted (save) and changed login to spawn

i get this error server.lua:18: bad argument @ 'getvehiclecolor'

function onPlayerQuit ( )
local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if ( playeraccount ) then
local c1 = nil
local c2 = nil
local c1,c2,c3,c4 = getVehicleColor (getPedOccupiedVehicle(source))

if veh then
setVehicleColor ( veh, c1, c2, 0, 0 )
end
end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerSpawn )

[kevin11]

can anyone tell me whats wrong because i really dont see it

[LonelyRoad]

getPedOccupiedVehicle doesn't know what source is, you, for that matter, the entire function doesn't know what source is.

You need to do something like

local player = getPedOccupiedVehicle(sourcePlayer)
getVehicleColor(player)

or

function SetCarColor(sourcePlayer) -- Or GetCarColor, depends what the function is doing.
getVehicleColor(sourcePlayer)

You need to study the basics of creating functions and depending on what your code is doing is how you know what arguments to give to the function.

Uniqu3, Im not 14 years old, but yes i love MGS series . i had to put this nick cause i cant find another one
