Nametag problem!

SoundWave · July 3, 2011

Ok i really don't know what the problem is so here I go

I tried, and i tried to create colorcoded namtags but no mather what it still remains white.

Please help finding out what the problem is

addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", g_Root,

I used setTeamColor function to set a color for team members, team X all members with color X and team Y all members with color Y.

But dont know how to make it for individual player

BinSlayer1 · July 3, 2011

I see you're using dxDrawColorText

Where is it defined? it's a custom function, you need to add it into the script.

And when you use it, do not use dxDrawText too.

Just 1 of these 2 functions.

see this link too: viewtopic.php?f=91&t=30227&p=347694&hilit=dxDrawColorText#p347694

debug it so you see if getPlayerName(player) actually returns the name with hex code.

it's possible that race is editing that function so hex codes are cut off for when they draw it.

i do not know for sure, but debugging will point this out.

EDIT:

Yes, I was right.

resources/race/_common.lua

Lines 81-84

getPlayerName() is altered by race to remove the hex code from the string.

Race creates _getPlayerName() which will have the hex code.

What you need to do is use your code + you have to change getPlayerName with _getPlayerName in the dxDrawColorText
