Colour code

[FuriouZ]

I have problem with colour codes, how i can remove them ?

i tryed this way

table.insert(players,{getPlayerName(player):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x",""),calculateDistance(headingForCp,distanceToCp),player}) 

but then it doesn't show name at all

no errors in debug

original

    local players = {} 
    for k,player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if not getElementData(player,"race.finished") then 
            local headingForCp = getElementData(player,"race.checkpoint") 
            local distanceToCp = distanceFromPlayerToCheckpoint(player,headingForCp) 
            if distanceToCp ~= false then 
                table.insert(players,{getPlayerName(player),calculateDistance(headingForCp,distanceToCp),player}) 
            end 
        end 
    end

    local players = {} 
    for k,player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if not getElementData(player,"race.finished") then 
            local headingForCp = getElementData(player,"race.checkpoint") 
            local distanceToCp = distanceFromPlayerToCheckpoint(player,headingForCp) 
            if distanceToCp ~= false then 
                local name = getPlayerName(player):gsub ( "#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "" ) 
                table.insert(players,{name,calculateDistance(headingForCp,distanceToCp),player}) 
            end 
        end 
    end 

Try it.

Still the same problem, name dissapears

Debug doesn't show any errors

[Castillo]

   local players = {} 
    for k,player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if not getElementData(player,"race.finished") then 
            local headingForCp = getElementData(player,"race.checkpoint") 
            local distanceToCp = distanceFromPlayerToCheckpoint(player,headingForCp) 
            if distanceToCp ~= false then 
                local name = getPlayerName(player):gsub ( "#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "" ) 
                outputChatBox ( "ADDING: ".. tostring ( name ) ) 
                table.insert(players,{name,calculateDistance(headingForCp,distanceToCp),player}) 
            end 
        end 
    end 

Put that and tell me what does it output to chatbox.

Spamms "ADDING: FuriouZ" to the chat box, but name is still dissappeard

[Castillo]

That doesn't make any sense, it should work.

Maybe something else in the script is messing it up.

If you have time, can you watch what's the problem there, i only need to remove colour codes from there
