Colors and name

[DjMixCuma]

Hi!

How to block using colors on chat and how to block changing name on game??

I guess by colors on chat you mean HEX colors, e.g: #00FF00Hello #FF0000World, if so, then you can use this:

-- server side:

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root, 
    function ( msg, msgType ) 
        if ( msgType == 0 ) then 
            local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor ( source ) 
            outputChatBox ( getPlayerName ( source ) ..": #FFFFFF".. msg, root, r, g, b ) 
            cancelEvent ( ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

About blocking the nick changer, you can cancel the onPlayerChangeNick with cancelEvent.

I have this onPlayerChat, and i can use #00FF00 for example.

I'm blocking onPlayerChangeNick with cancelEvent and i cant see message but nick changing.

try this: Nick Cancel

addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick",root,function(oldN,newN) 
   cancelEvent(true,"Sorry, you can not change your nick.") --Cancel event 
   if (not wasEventCancelled()) then outputDebugString("Sorry, the event was not cancelled, please go back to the forums for more help") end --if even wasn't cancelled, output that it wasn't 
end)

try this: Nick Cancel

addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick",root,function(oldN,newN) 
   cancelEvent("Sorry, you can not change your nick.") --Cancel event 
   if (not wasEventCancelled()) then outputDebugString("Sorry, the event was not cancelled, please go back to the forums for more help") end --if even wasn't cancelled, output that it wasn't 
end) 

NOt working.

In jaysds1's code, he had bad argument in cancelEvent. 1st argument should had been bool, but it was string

bool cancelEvent ( [ bool cancel = true, string reason = "" ] ) 

Getting on topic, here's the working code :

addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick",getRootElement(), 
    function() 
        cancelEvent() 
    end 
)

addEventHandler( 'onPlayerChangeNick', root, cancelEvent ) 

Done ..

[Guest Guest4401]

addEventHandler( 'onPlayerChangeNick', root, cancelEvent ) 

Done ..

It doesn't work either, because then cancelEvent would have 1st argument of the player's old nick which is string. So bad argument.

[Kenix]

I not understand

addEventHandler( 'onClientPlayerDamage', localPlayer, cancelEvent ) 

work perfectly but first argument is element ( attacker ).

addEventHandler( 'onPlayerChangeNick', root, cancelEvent ) 

not work, bad argument is string.

addEventHandler ( 'onVehicleStartEnter', root, cancelEvent ) 

not work, bad argument is player

Hi!

How to block using colors on chat and how to block changing name on game??

All the posts here doesn't block colors in chat...

For chat, use this: (server)

  
addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), 
  
function (message, type) 
if type == 0 then --If it's main chat 
cancelEvent() --Message won't send 
local uncolored = string.gsub(message, "#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "") --Delete all HEX codes. 
local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor(source) 
outputChatBox(getPlayerName(source) .. ": #ffffff" .. uncolored, getRootElement(), r, g, b, true) --Send message manually 
outputServerLog("CHAT: "..getPlayerName(source)..": "..message) --Output to log manually 
end 
end) 
  

For changing the nick in-game, use: (server)

addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick", getRootElement(), 
  
function () 
cancelEvent() --Nick won't change. 
outputChatBox("Sorry, you can't change your nick!", source, 255,0,0) 
end)

(For the chat part)

try this:

addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",root,function(message, type) 
    if type == 0 then --If it's main chat 
        if(string.find(message,"#%x%x%x%x%x%x"))then 
            cancelEvent() --Message won't send 
            local uncolored = string.gsub(message, "#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "") --Delete all HEX codes. 
            local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor(source) 
            outputChatBox(getPlayerName(source) .. ": " .. uncolored,root, r, g, b,false) --Send message manually 
            outputServerLog("CHAT: "..getPlayerName(source)..": "..message) --Output to log manually 
        end 
    end 
end)
