Problem with hex colors..

[Feche1320]

I'm trying to avoid people only with color codes, for example, if you do /nick #884466 you will be named as ' '(blank name), so I was trying this:

  
addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick", g_Root, 
    function(old, new) 
        if new == "#%x%x%x%x%x%x" then 
            outputChatBox(source, "You can't have just colour codes in name.", source, 255, 0, 0) 
            cancelEvent() 
        end 
    end 
) 

But it isn't working at all.

Thanks.

function removeHEX(oldNick,newNick) 
    if (string.find(newNick,"#%x%x%x%x%x%x")) then 
               outputChatBox("You can't have just colour codes in name.", source, 255, 0, 0) 
        cancelEvent() 
    end  
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick",getRootElement(),removeHEX)

No, that isn't working, as I supposed.

Copy the code again, I was busy when I posted it, also you had an error in outputChatBox, first argument it's the TEXT.

thanks for the code, I needed it to block users from putting {JWORLD}.

Edit:

There I'm not posting without a reason.

Jaysd1, can you stop posting without a REASON?!

Well, you didn't read then.

That simple code doesn't let me put colour codes at all.

And that's what you wanted, isn't it? if not, then EXPLAIN yourself better.

Maybe with this way you can do that:

function removeHEXOnly(oldNick,newNick) 
    if (string.find(newNick,"#%x%x%x%x%x%x") and #newNick == 7) then 
        outputChatBox("You can't have just colour codes in name.", source, 255, 0, 0) 
        cancelEvent() 
    end  
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick",getRootElement(),removeHEXOnly)

Now works, thanks.

if newNick:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x","gtfo") == "gtfo" then
