Colorcodes in Labels

[BriGhtx3]

I know there is no way to use color codes in labels. But i want to set colors for different texts.

I know I can use dxtext but is there no other way? Like creating a display or something like this for a GUI?

Ill freak out when someone says you cant use color codes in labels -.-

[Xeno]

You can't use colour codes in labels....

(LOL)

On topic: Do you mean like: Label text:"wwqdqwd(< this part is red) 438348234829394 ( < this part is green)" ??

[BriGhtx3]

yes

[Xeno]

Create two labels, and move it next to the other label.

[BriGhtx3]

Lol

I knew that but it is very difficult to create 100 labels -.-

And the users add the texts via color codes.

[Blaawee]

i don't know mybe this will work :

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GuiSetProperty

guiSetProperty(label, "labelTextColour", "FFA0A0A0") 

[50p]

i don't know mybe this will work :

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GuiSetProperty

guiSetProperty(label, "labelTextColour", "FFA0A0A0") 

That would change the label colour, same as guiLabelSetColor.

Lol

I knew that but it is very difficult to create 100 labels -.-

And the users add the texts via color codes.

Just create a function which will create as many labels as many colours you have in the string. There is a similar function for DX text on the forum somewhere, just search the forum, I'm sure you'll find it easily. Then just modify the function to work GUI labels instead of DX text.

[UAEpro]

easy

the original code was for dxdrawcolortext

and i made this for colored label

  
--- by UAEpro 
function guiCreateColorLabel(ax, ay, bx, by,str, parent, bool) 
      local pat = "(.-)#(%x%x%x%x%x%x)" 
      local s, e, cap, col = str:find(pat, 1) 
      local last = 1 
      while s do 
        if cap == "" and col then r,g,b = tonumber("0x"..col:sub(1, 2)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(3, 4)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(5, 6)) end 
        if s ~= 1 or cap ~= "" then 
        local w = dxGetTextWidth(cap) 
         avc321 = guiCreateLabel(ax, ay, ax + w, by,cap,parent, bool) 
         if r == nil then r = 255 end 
         if g == nil then g = 255 end 
         if b == nil then b = 255 end 
                guiLabelSetColor(avc321,r,g,b) 
          ax = ax + w 
          r,g,b = tonumber("0x"..col:sub(1, 2)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(3, 4)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(5, 6)) 
        end 
        last = e + 1 
        s, e, cap, col = str:find(pat, last) 
      end 
      if last <= #str then 
        cap = str:sub(last) 
        local w = dxGetTextWidth(cap) 
        avc123 = guiCreateLabel(ax, ay, ax + w, by,cap,parent, bool) 
                guiLabelSetColor(avc123,r,g,b) 
                 
     end 
    end

UAepro very nice Code. But you can't use guiSetText with it oO

[Kenix]

Yes,because he not returned gui element in function.

[BriGhtx3]

How do you mean this?

[Kenix]

We can't use return value in function guiCreateColorLabel because is returned value nil.

http://lua-users.org/wiki/FunctionsTutorial

Understand?

[BriGhtx3]

Oh now I understand this. So I have to destroy it and create it again?

[Kenix]

Not understand

So I have to destroy it and create it again?

[UAEpro]

Oh now I understand this. So I have to destroy it and create it again?

yes .. that what i do ^.^

        local w = dxGetTextWidth(cap) 
        avc123 = guiCreateLabel(ax, ay, ax + w, by,cap,bool,parent) 
        guiLabelSetColor(avc123,r,g,b) 
        return avc123 
    end 
end 

Can anyone help with this

[drk]

Sorry for 2 posts but no one want to help?

[Kenix]

What the problem?

[drk]

    function guiCreateColorLabel(ax, ay, bx, by,str, bool, parent) 
        local pat = "(.-)#(%x%x%x%x%x%x)" 
        local s, e, cap, col = str:find(pat, 1) 
        local last = 1 
        while s do 
            if cap == "" and col then r,g,b = tonumber("0x"..col:sub(1, 2)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(3, 4)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(5, 6)) end 
            if s ~= 1 or cap ~= "" then 
                local w = dxGetTextWidth(cap) 
                avc321 = guiCreateLabel(ax, ay, ax + w, by,cap,bool,parent) 
                if r == nil then r = 255 end 
                if g == nil then g = 255 end 
                if b == nil then b = 255 end 
                guiLabelSetColor(avc321,r,g,b) 
                ax = ax + w 
            r,g,b = tonumber("0x"..col:sub(1, 2)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(3, 4)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(5, 6)) 
            end 
        last = e + 1 
        s, e, cap, col = str:find(pat, last) 
        end 
        if last <= #str then 
            cap = str:sub(last) 
            local w = dxGetTextWidth(cap) 
            avc123 = guiCreateLabel(ax, ay, ax + w, by,cap,bool,parent) 
            guiLabelSetColor(avc123,r,g,b) 
            return avc123 
        end 
    end 

I get error on guiLabelSetColor(avc123,r,g,b) I know that its because r,g,b is not defined but I don't remember nothing how to solve this '-'

[drk]

Ok. Thanks. I will try.

[drk]

I get no error but It don't work... It appear with color codes. And no colors

I tried with:

function guiCreateColorLabel ( ax, ay, bx, by, str, relative, parent ) 
    local pat = "(.-)#(%x%x%x%x%x%x)" 
    local s, e, cap, col = str:find(pat, 1) 
    local last = 1 
    while s do 
        if cap == "" and col then r, g, b = tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 1, 2 ) ), tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 3, 4 ) ), 
        tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 5, 6 ) ) 
        end 
        last = e + 1 
        s, e, cap, col = str:find( pat, last ) 
    end 
    if r == nil then r = 255 end 
    if g == nil then g = 255 end 
    if b == nil then b = 255 end 
    if last <= #str then 
        cap = str:sub( last ) 
        label = guiCreateLabel ( ax, ay, bx, by, cap, relative, parent ) 
        guiLabelSetColor ( label, r, g, b ) 
        return label 
    end 
end 

But I get error on guiLabelSetColor. I don't know why I get expected number, colors don't have to be numbers? oO

[Kenix]

Show line error.

[Cadu12]

Line: 18

 guiLabelSetColor (label, r or 255, g or 255, b or 255) 

Is that hard?

[Kenix]

Draken,Why you not use my code
