Sending color arguments to function

[Hoffmann]

Hello, community!
Can you help me? What is the best method to send RGB/HEX colors in function?
 

function meChat(thePlayer, cmd, ...)
    ProxDetector(30, thePlayer, ..., color1, color2, color3, color4, color5)
end
addCommandHandler("do", meChat)

function ProxDetector(radius, thePlayer, ..., color1)
    local text = table.concat({...}," ")
    local oldposx, oldposy, oldposz = getElementPosition(thePlayer)
	for k, v in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
	    local posx, posy, posz = getElementPosition(v)
		if getElementDimension(v) == getElementDimension(thePlayer) then
			local getRadius = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(oldposx, oldposy, oldposz, posx, posy, posz)
			if (getRadius < radius / 16) then
			    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).." "..text, v, color1, false)
			elseif (getRadius < radius / 8) then
			    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).." "..text, v, color2, false)
			elseif(getRadius < radius / 4) then
			    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).." "..text, v, color3, false)
			elseif(getRadius < radius / 2) then
			    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).." "..text, v, color4, false)
			elseif(getRadius < radius) then
			    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).." "..text, v, color5, false)
			end
		end
	end
	return true
end

I tried something like COLOR_PURPLE = 0xC2A2DAAA and then convert in to RGB in outputchatBox function but it says that ")" expected near "," in function string.

")" expected near "," in function string.

Means you didn't close a bracket (

I'm looking at the code and I don't really know what you want to do.

I want to use colors to send them in my function ProxDetector. But there are trg colors, idk how to define and use them. Maybe table and unpack?

function meChat(thePlayer, cmd,arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,arg5)
    ProxDetector(30, thePlayer, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5)
end
addCommandHandler("do", meChat)

function ProxDetector(radius, thePlayer,arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,arg5)
    local text = table.concat({...}," ")
    local oldposx, oldposy, oldposz = getElementPosition(thePlayer)
	for k, v in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
	    local posx, posy, posz = getElementPosition(v)
		if getElementDimension(v) == getElementDimension(thePlayer) then
			local getRadius = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(oldposx, oldposy, oldposz, posx, posy, posz)
			if (getRadius < radius / 16) then
			    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).." "..text, v, arg1, false)
			elseif (getRadius < radius / 8) then
			    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).." "..text, v, arg2, false)
			elseif(getRadius < radius / 4) then
			    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).." "..text, v, arg3, false)
			elseif(getRadius < radius / 2) then
			    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).." "..text, v, arg4, false)
			elseif(getRadius < radius) then
			    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).." "..text, v, arg5, false)
			end
		end
	end
	return true
end

If rest of your code is right try this.

I see it still won't work.

Add this behind every outputchatbox with arg.
