How to color code?

[Sex*]

So i thought i start to make new toptimes from beginning today because the last one was was lagging the server with errors and was compiled because it was downloaded from internet. I made everything ready but then i saw that the color codes didnt work . How to make that it would be possible to make color codes to work?

are you using dxCreateText or GUICreateLabel?

GUICreateLabel

[gokalpfirat]

 text = guiCreateLabel(0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,"Test",true) 
guiLabelSetColor(text,255,0,0) 

GuiLabelSetColor

FACEPALM, this is how it looks right now:

As you guys see, NO COLORS(only colorcodes). But i want it to be colored, so how to make it?

[gokalpfirat]

local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor ( player ) 

You can use this.

And where do i add it?

you have to use https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/DxDrawText for colored texts.

Use guiCreateColorLabel instead of guiCreateLabel

This function is made by someone on the forum, I don't know who.

    function guiCreateColorLabel( ax, ay, bx, by,str, bool, parent ) 
        local pat = "(.-)#(%x%x%x%x%x%x)" 
        local s, e, cap, col = str:find( pat, 1 ) 
        local last = 1 
        local r,g,b 
        while s do 
            if cap == "" and col then r,g,b = tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 1, 2 ) ), tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 3, 4 ) ), tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 5, 6 ) ) end 
            if s ~= 1 or cap ~= "" then 
                local w = dxGetTextWidth( cap ) 
                avc321 = guiCreateLabel( ax, ay, ax + w, by,cap,bool,parent ) 
                if not r then r = 255 end 
                if not g then g = 255 end 
                if not b then b = 255 end 
                guiLabelSetColor( avc321,r,g,b ) 
                ax = ax + w 
                r,g,b = tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 1, 2 ) ), tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 3, 4 ) ), tonumber( "0x"..col:sub( 5, 6 ) ) 
            end 
            last = e + 1 
            s, e, cap, col = str:find( pat, last ) 
        end 
        if last <= #str then 
            local cap = str:sub( last ) 
            local w = dxGetTextWidth( cap ) 
            local avc123 = guiCreateLabel( ax, ay, ax + w, by,cap,bool,parent ) 
            guiLabelSetColor( avc123,r or 255,g or 255,b or 255 ) 
            return avc123 
        end 
    end

Yes, it's clientside. But the function have some bugs with color codes.

Yes, i know that the coloring function is in the clientside but i cant find a place where should i put it...

[Guest Guest4401]

Put it in the very first line, and replace guiCreateLabel with guiCreateColorLabel everywhere except in the function itself.
