DarkRP self:SetPlayerColor problem.

[D3NNYM41C01M]

hook.Add("PlayerLoadout", "letsninjathis", function (self)
color = Vector(team.GetColor(self:Team()))
self:SetPlayerColor( color )

end )

Currently trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong here.
I got no error code in console. My player color is auto-set
to black. Kind of becoming a problem. Any assistance?

What gamemode are you using?

DarkRP

Perhaps, I should be more specific. I want the shirt/clothes color to match the job's set Color.
Which doesn't seem to be happening.

Why is color being defined as a vector?

[D3NNYM41C01M]

Found it like that on the Wiki, was confused on why it was a vector. Perhaps a spelling error?
I'll try the way it "should" be made.

[editline]23rd November 2015[/editline]

It's supposed to be defined as a Vector. Or so the error says.

[boxvader2]

It should be defined as Color() and not vector someone must have wrote the wrong thing.

Edit:
Look [URL="https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/team/GetColor"]here[/URL] it's returned as a color structure.

[D3NNYM41C01M]

Tried

ply:SetPlayerColor( Vector(team.GetColor( ply:Team() )) )

ply:SetPlayerColor( team.GetColor( ply:Team() ) <- Which obviously was not going to work.

The server see's it wrong. Nothing's wrong with it. I tried Vector(1,0,0) And my player color was set to red.

[boxvader2]

So if it is working what problem are you having?

I remmember a few years ago when i first started gmod scripting, this also confused me, if i remmember right its defined as a vector, and its just RGB normalized, might be wrong though. You should try just using Entity/SetColro instead, ply:SetColor might just be depecrated.

The problem is, I'm not trying to make it set to this player color Permanently. Only when playing as drug dealer. (Purple Color) And then when they switch to another job, let's say cop (blue). I want the player model set to blue. And for anyone who uses the brain. I'm not going to do

if blah then

blah

elseif blah then

end

For each damn job. Already had someone tell me that, heck to the no!

That shit + team.getcolor made my model Purple. (Including the face). I had a feeling it would do that, and I already did that. Wtf, why would I do it again??? Idk, tired. Lol Talking to myself in chat, that's how tired I am. LOL

[DamienTehDemo]

in darkrp/gamemode/modules/base/sv_gamemodefunctions.lua

add

    ply:SetColor(jobTable.color)

After line 691. Tell me if that works.

[D3NNYM41C01M]

Did I mention I'm using 2.4.3 Core files?

I don't use 2.5+

The gamemode functions lua file is a bit different then 2.5+

OH well just put that in the PlayerLoadout function under the first jobtable variable. and change jobTAble to whatever jobtable variable is in that version. All it is doing is when the loadout is given it sets the players color to the color variable in that jobs config.

[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerLoadout", "setclothescolor", function(ply)
local color = team.GetColor( ply:Team() )
ply:SetPlayerColor( Vector( color.r/255, color.g/255, color.b/255 ) )
end)
[/lua]

He made what i said much simpler. xD. Just put that in the loadout function or on spawn function.

SetPlayerColor takes a vector because it directly binds the value to the $color parameter in the player material.

You can use the Color object's :ToVector() method to shorten this a little.

ply:SetPlayerColor( color:ToVector() )
