getPlayerNameTagColor..

[Annas]

Hi , i have made a script , but i failed

This script is about:

1- player did /superadvert TEXT and it will be shows a text to all players

function advertising ( thePlayer, ...  ) 
    local message = table.concat( {...}, " " ) 
    local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor(thePlayer) 
    if message == "" then 
        outputChatBox("You didnt enter a message!", thePlayer, 200, 0, 0) 
    return  
    end 
    if isPlayerMuted(thePlayer) then 
        outputChatBox("You are muted!", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0) 
    return 
    end 
    outputChatBox("#FF6464(ADVERT) ".. getPlayerName(thePlayer).."#FFFFFF: "..message, root, r, g, b, true) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "superadvert", advertising ) 

I wanna it get the player name tag color ONLY for the player name!

Only this be with the currently name tag color of the player

outputChatBox("#FF6464(ADVERT) ".. getPlayerName(thePlayer).." #FFFFFF: "..message, root, r, g, b, true)

So when the player will did the command

/superadvert Message for test

& his name tag color is (R: 0 - G: 0 - B: 0)

and his name TEST

so the output will be like this

(ADVERT) Test : Message for test

Wish you understand me

You've used the command name and not the argument, check addCommandHandler

player playerSource, string commandName, [string arg1, string arg2, ...] 

So,

function advertising ( thePlayer, ...  ) 

Gotta be

function advertising ( thePlayer, commandName, ...) 

Don't know if it'll then work, didn't test, just noticed this.

Happy new year,

Billy

You've got to use

hex = string.format("#%X%X%X", r, g, b) 

to convert RGB to Hex color (with preceding hash sign), which you then append as prefix to the player name, and change it to another hex on the suffix of the name or on the succeeding word.

Example:

local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor(thePlayer) 
local hex = string.format("#%X%X%X", r, g, b) 
local text = "#FF6464(ADVERT) "..hex .. getPlayerName(thePlayer).." #FFFFFF: "..message
