Colored names

ATS#Nexus · August 3, 2012

1. I need to make colored names for other players.

2. I need to make colored name for ghost racer. Using this resource - https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ls&id=3799

You can either wait for the release of MTA 1.3.1 for the "colorCoded" argument at dxDrawText or use this function:

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/DxDrawColorText

Then you would need to edit the nametags of both race and ghostracer script.

You better start learning then, I won't do it for you.

Just paste that function https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/DxDrawColorText at the end of the client script in the resource you're using and replace any "dxDrawText" with dxDrawColorText.

Show the code... it should work. Use [lua] tag.

dxDrawText with colorCode support is already added, use it instead because it works much faster.

If dxDrawText with colorCode support is already added then why i see color code instead of colored name?

Try:

Put this outside the onClientRender event:

function dxDrawColorText(str, ax, ay, bx, by, color, scale, font, alignX, alignY) 
  bx, by, color, scale, font = bx or ax, by or ay, color or tocolor(255,255,255,255), scale or 1, font or "default" 
  if alignX then 
    if alignX == "center" then 
      ax = ax + (bx - ax - dxGetTextWidth(str:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x",""), scale, font))/2 
    elseif alignX == "right" then 
      ax = bx - dxGetTextWidth(str:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x",""), scale, font) 
    end 
  end 
  if alignY then 
    if alignY == "center" then 
      ay = ay + (by - ay - dxGetFontHeight(scale, font))/2 
    elseif alignY == "bottom" then 
      ay = by - dxGetFontHeight(scale, font) 
    end 
  end 
  local alpha = string.format("%08X", color):sub(1,2) 
  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 color = tocolor(getColorFromString("#"..col..alpha)) end 
    if s ~= 1 or cap ~= "" then 
      local w = dxGetTextWidth(cap, scale, font) 
      dxDrawText(cap, ax, ay, ax + w, by, color, scale, font) 
      ax = ax + w 
      color = tocolor(getColorFromString("#"..col..alpha)) 
    end 
    last = e + 1 
    s, e, cap, col = str:find(pat, last) 
  end 
  if last <= #str then 
    cap = str:sub(last) 
    dxDrawText(cap, ax, ay, ax + dxGetTextWidth(cap, scale, font), by, color, scale, font)

What? You can do the same in the nametags.lua in the race if that's what you want.
