[SOLVED]How to put Player Name Colors in this nametag script

[HeK]

What i wanna do is to make it show the player HEX Color that he has. I have tried many things and messed the code.

I got this script from the Community = "race_nametag"

Can anyone help me or give me a hint on how to do it?[/b]

You could use my custom dxDrawText function here:

https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ls&id=3421

have that resource always running and use:

exports.dxExtra:dxDrawColoredText ( getPlayerNametagText(player), sx, sy - offset, sx, sy - offset, tocolor(r,g,b,textalpha), textscale*NAMETAG_TEXTSIZE, "pricedown", "center", "bottom", false, false, false ) 

instead of:

dxDrawText ( getPlayerName(player), sx, sy - offset, sx, sy - offset, tocolor(r,g,b,textalpha), textscale*NAMETAG_TEXTSIZE, "pricedown", "center", "bottom", false, false, false ) 

on line 80.

Thanks you so much! Can i use it for killmessages too?

Thanks you so much! Can i use it for killmessages too?

It should work for all scripts that uses dxDrawText, so yes.

[HeK]

Ok then, i'll work on it. Thanks

[arezu]

I tested it, but it didn't work so i edited it a bit. Download the latest version from the same link.

Nice thanks
