colored nicknames

[isa_Khamdan]

Is it possible to make a colored name for a player by his serial and this will be for the chat only so the scoreboards and other stuffs that use getplayername will show the original name?

Yes, it is possible.

[isa_Khamdan]

Yes, it is possible.

And how can I do that?

"onClientChatMessage" 
cancelEvent() 
outputChatBox. 
tocolor(r,g,b) 
getPlayerSerial

I don't think you can do this on client-side.

There is a simple example of how I would do it.

local colors = { 
    ["serial1"]={10, 20, 30}, -- red, green, blue 
    ["serial2"]={100, 200, 30} 
} 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root, 
    function ( message, type ) 
        if type == 0 then 
            cancelEvent () 
            local serial = getPlayerSerial ( source )            
            if colors[ serial ] then 
            local r, g, b = unpack ( colors[ serial ] ) 
                outputChatBox ( getPlayerName( source ) .. "#FFFFFF: " .. message, root, r, g, b, true ) 
            else 
                local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor ( source ) 
                outputChatBox ( getPlayerName( source ) .. "#FFFFFF: " .. message, root, r, g, b, true )                 
            end 
        end  
    end )
