Question

[Baseplate]

Well, I wanted to know how to add the city name behind the playername when he types something

e.g:

(LS)Samer:Hello

[Mossy]

getZoneName ?

addEventHandler('onPlayerChat', root, 
    function(message) 
        cancelEvent() 
        local fX, fY, fZ = getElementPosition(source) 
        message = string.format('(%s)%s:#ffffff %s', getZoneName(fX, fY, fZ, true), getPlayerName(source), message) 
        outputChatBox(message, root, 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end

addEventHandler('onPlayerChat', root, 
    function(message) 
        cancelEvent() 
        local fX, fY, fZ = getElementPosition(source) 
        message = string.format('(%s)%s:#ffffff %s', getZoneName(fX, fY, fZ, true), getPlayerName(source), message) 
        outputChatBox(message, root, 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end 

Wouldn't that output this:

(Los Santos)Jaysds1: Hey ???

try this:

addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",root,function(msg) 
     cancelEvent() 
     local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
     local zone = getZoneName(x,y,z,true) 
     local curZone 
     if zone=="Los Santos" then 
           curZone = "LS" 
      elseif zone == "Las Venturas" then 
           curZone = "LV" 
      elseif zone == "San Fierro" then 
           curZone = "SF" 
      else 
           curZone = zone 
      end 
      outputChatBox("("..curZone..")"..getPlayerName(source)..":"..msg) 
end)

You know, you could try thinking about this yourself too. The function name "getTeamColor" is pretty obvious.

As for the city names, it's probably easiest to just make a dictionary with "Los Santos"=>"LS" etc.

I've fixed the script anyways..i'll see about this now

     cancelEvent() 
     local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam( source ) 
     local r, g, b = getTeamColor( playerTeam ) 
     localPlayer = getPlayerFromName ( msg ) 
     local x,y,z = getElementPosition ( source ) 
     local zone = getZoneName(x,y,z,true) 
     local curZone 
     if zone=="Los Santos" then 
           curZone = "LS" 
      elseif zone == "Las Venturas" then 
           curZone = "LV" 
      elseif zone == "San Fierro" then 
           curZone = "SF" 
      else 
           curZone = zone 
      end 
      outputChatBox("("..curZone..")"..getPlayerName(source)..":"..msg) 
end)

local zoneNames = {['Los Santos'] = 'LS', ['San Fierro'] = 'SF', ['Las Venturas'] = 'LV'}

I don't see any problem in my code, you must be doing anything wrong.

Post the meta.xml.

addEventHandler('onPlayerChat', root, 
function(message,type) 
     if type == 0 then 
          cancelEvent() 
          local fX, fY, fZ = getElementPosition(source) 
          local r, g, b = getTeamColor(getPlayerTeam(source)) 
          message = string.format('#%02X%02X%02X(%s)%s:#ffffff%s', r or 255, g or 255, b or 255, zoneNames[getZoneName(fX, fY, fZ, true)], getPlayerName(source), message) 
          outputChatBox(message, root, 255, 255, 255, true) 
     end
