getPlayerNametagColor

[-.Paradox.-]

Hello, i need help here, can't getPlayerNametagColor

WARNING: Class/basic.lua:4: Bad argument @ 'getPlayerNameTagColor'

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root, 
    function ( msg, msgType ) 
    local name = getPlayerName(source) 
    local r,g,b = getPlayerNametagColor (source) 
        if ( msgType == 1 ) then 
            cancelEvent ( ) 
            outputChatBox ( "* " ..name.. "#006400 ".. msg, root, 0, 100, 0, true ) 
        end 
    end 
)

It should work, do you get the same error at getPlayerName?

[-.Paradox.-]

Yes

[Castillo]

I don't see any reason for that, since 'source' is self defined by the event.

So how i can fix it?

try like this

  
    function onchat( playerSource, msg, msgType ) 
    local name = getPlayerName(playerSource) 
    local r,g,b = getPlayerNametagColor (playersource) 
        if ( msgType == 1 ) then 
            cancelEvent ( ) 
            outputChatBox ( "* " ..name.. "#006400 ".. msg, root, 0, 100, 0, true ) 
        end 
    end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root, onchat)

try like this

  
    function onchat( playerSource, msg, msgType ) 
    local name = getPlayerName(playerSource) 
    local r,g,b = getPlayerNametagColor (playersource) 
        if ( msgType == 1 ) then 
            cancelEvent ( ) 
            outputChatBox ( "* " ..name.. "#006400 ".. msg, root, 0, 100, 0, true ) 
        end 
    end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root, onchat) 

That wouldn't work because 'playerSource' would return a string. Please read the arguments first.

@StevyDK: Is this your entire script? If not, post the rest.

Ooops sorry didnt readed.

The idea is to get out of handler-based functions and make a standaole one, it may work better.

  
    function onchat( msg, msgType ) 
    local name = getPlayerName(source) 
    local r,g,b = getPlayerNametagColor (source) 
        if ( msgType == 1 ) then 
            cancelEvent ( ) 
            outputChatBox ( "* " ..name.. "#006400 ".. msg, root, 0, 100, 0, true ) 
        end 
    end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), onchat)

Don't work

@xXMadeXx it's the entire script

[Castillo]

There's no reason for it to don't work.

try the exact code from the wiki, if it doesnt works, then its something related to your meta/other stuff configs.

  
local function playerJoin() 
    local red, green, blue = math.random (50, 255), math.random (50, 255), math.random (50, 255) 
        setPlayerNametagColor(source, red, green, blue) 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerJoin", root, playerJoin) 
  
local function playerChat(message, messageType) 
    if messageType == 0 then --Global (main) chat 
                cancelEvent() 
                local red, green, blue = getPlayerNametagColor(source) 
        outputChatBox(getPlayerName(source)..": #FFFFFF"..message, root, red, green, blue, true ) 
        outputServerLog("CHAT: "..getPlayerName(source)..": "..message)--NOTE: Beacuse we cancelled the onPlayerChat event, we need to log chat manually. 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", root, playerChat)

Put your meta.xml of 'Class' resource ?

It's server side
