This should work:

  
function obtenerName() 
obtenerNombre = getPlayerName( source ) 
outputChatBox(" #00FF00 "..obtenerNombre.." , Tu nombre se te cambiara por tu nombre de cuenta cuando te desconectes te regresaremos tu nombre ", source, 255, 0, 0, true) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), obtenerName) 
  
function setearName() 
accountName = getAccountName( getPlayerAccount ( source ) ) 
obtenerNombre = getPlayerName( source ) 
outputChatBox(" #00FF00"..obtenerNombre.." , Ahora tu Nombre se cambio al Nombre de tu cuenta ("..accountName..") ", source, 255, 0, 0, true) 
setPlayerName( source, accountName ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), setearName) 
  
function debolberName() 
setPlayerName( source, obtenerNombre ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", getRootElement(), debolberName) 

(tested)

outputChatBox(" #00FF00"..obtenerNombre.." , #FF0000Ahora tu Nombre se cambio al Nombre de tu cuenta #00FF00( "..accountName.." ) ", source, 255, 0, 0, true) 
setPlayerName( source, accountName ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), setearName) 
  
function debolberName() 
setPlayerName( source, obtenerNombre ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", getRootElement(), debolberName)

That's becouse obtenerNombre is not specified there, you have to insert obtenerNombre = getPlayerName( source ) there too. Copy again my code.

I copyed ur code again but when I join to my server doesnt appear the message in chatbox only when I login

[DNL291]

The variable 'obtenerNombre' is not a global variable

[iFoReX]

and how I put it variable Global ?

[DNL291]

local obtenerNombre = getPlayerName(source) 
function obtenerName() 
outputChatBox(" #00FF00 "..obtenerNombre.." , Tu nombre se te cambiara por tu nombre de cuenta cuando te desconectes te regresaremos tu nombre ", source, 255, 0, 0, true) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), obtenerName) 
  
function setearName() 
accountName = getAccountName( getPlayerAccount ( source ) ) 
outputChatBox(" #00FF00"..obtenerNombre.." , Ahora tu Nombre se cambio al Nombre de tu cuenta ("..accountName..") ", source, 255, 0, 0, true) 
setPlayerName( source, accountName ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), setearName) 
  
function debolberName() 
setPlayerName( source, obtenerNombre ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", getRootElement(), debolberName)

You can use this instead..

playerName = string.gsub (getPlayerName(source), "#x%x%x%x%x%x%", "") -- Replace player name color code to nothing 
outputChatBox (playerName.." bla bla bla", source, 255, 0, 0, false)

I dont want get the Colours of the Player I want put colours to my Message in chatboxes

[Castillo]

function obtenerName ( account ) 
    local accountName accountName = getAccountName ( account ) 
    local nombre = getPlayerName ( source ) -- You're calling the variable the same as the function name. 
    outputChatBox ( " #00FF00 ".. nombre .." , Tu nombre se te cambiara por tu nombre de cuenta cuando te desconectes te regresaremos tu nombre ", source, 255, 0, 0, true ) 
    outputChatBox(" #00FF00".. nombre .." , Ahora tu Nombre se cambio al Nombre de tu cuenta (".. accountName ..") ", source, 255, 0, 0, true ) 
    setPlayerName ( source, accountName ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, obtenerName )

Nah, It doesn't mean like that.

With string.gsub, It will replace any color code on player name, so you don't really need to put #FF0000 to your outputChatBox (Probably most people use it to make color code from player name will not appear if they set colorCoded to be false. So most people set colorCoded to be true and put color code at the outputChatBox to handle it).

I'm not sure it's your problem, but that's my idea.

At least try it.
