GUI Label Colorcodes

[drk]

I'm trying to create a gui label and use color codes in the label.

I tried editing guiCreateColorLabel ( you can find it on forum ) but it don't work. It appear without color codes but no colors

Anyone knows a way to put color codes in a label and the colors appear?

I've tested that function before and it worked, maybe your text doesn't has HEX colors?

[drk]

I used getPlayerName(source) and it return without colors

[Castillo]

Are you using this function in race? because race removed HEX colors from getPlayerName.

[drk]

Ye, it's in Race

[Castillo]

Try using this:

_getPlayerName

[drk]

I removed the getPlayerName function that removes hex color from _common.lua

I will try now. Anyway Kenix is helping me. I think you can lock this post

Sorry for replying the post again...

I tried guiCreateColorLabel function from the forum and It don't work. It only display the first colored text.

The only one who works is dxDrawColorText.

Maybe I will need to create my custom functions

Its not problem with guiCreateColorLabel, its problem with Race.

Just create new folder(resource), im sure it will work.

replace the getPlayerName in_comon.lua whit this

and if you ask in race gamemode getPlayerName(player) then it return whitout hex colors if you ask getPlayerName(player,"hex") then it will return the name whit hex color's

function removeColorCoding ( name ) 
    return type(name)=='string' and string.gsub ( name, '#%x%x%x%x%x%x', '' ) or name 
end 
  
_getPlayerName = getPlayerName 
function getPlayerName ( player,hex ) 
if hex then 
return  _getPlayerName ( player ) 
else 
    return removeColorCoding ( _getPlayerName ( player ) ) 
end 
end

Yeah, and the problem isn't Race mode.

replace the getPlayerName in_comon.lua whit this

and if you ask in race gamemode getPlayerName(player) then it return whitout hex colors if you ask getPlayerName(player,"hex") then it will return the name whit hex color's

Problem isn't there, and it isn't getPlayerName ( player, 'hex' ), it's getPlayerName ( player, boolHex ).
