how to make it block hex code names in game so that it automatically changes their name back to what it was when they try to change it to a hex color name.

addEventHandler( "onPlayerJoin", root, 
     function() 
         setPlayerName((getPlayerName( source )):gsub( "#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "" )) 
     end 
) 
  
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChangeNick", root, 
     function(old, name) 
        setPlayerName((name):gsub( "#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "" )) 
     end 
)

addEventHandler( "onPlayerChangeNick", root, 
     function(old, name) 
        setPlayerName((name):gsub( "#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "" )) 
     end 
) 

Instead of that, you can just cancel the event if it has HEX codes in it.

thanks but when i try to use it to make sure it works it dosent then i make my name without a space with the hex code it lets the hex code work

I don't really understand what do you mean, since you can't use spaces on your nick.

try that script then put a hex name space reg name

Edit: well then nvm then that means the script dosent even work

[Castillo]

Try this one:

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, 
    function ( ) 
        local name = getPlayerName ( source ) 
        if name:find ( "#%x%x%x%x%x%x" ) then 
            setPlayerName ( source, name:gsub ( "#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "" ) ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChangeNick", root, 
    function ( _, new ) 
        if new:find ( "#%x%x%x%x%x%x" ) then 
            cancelEvent ( ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

P.S: Is a server side script.
