Team GetColor?

[Brandan]

I am trying to create my own chat reader for rp. But I am getting errors getting the team color
[lua] chat.AddText(Color(255,255,255),"(CHAT) ",Color(team.GetColor(ply:Team() )),ply:Nick(),Color(255,255,255),": "..strText) end [/lua]
gives me: Hook 'PlyChat' Failed: [@lua\includes\util.lua:23] bad argument #1 to 'min' (number expected, got nil)

If I try
[lua]
chat.AddText(Color(255,255,255),"(CHAT) ",Color(ply:Team():GetColor() ),ply:Nick(),Color(255,255,255),": "..strText)
[/lua]
I get this: Hook 'PlyChat' Failed: [lua\autorun\client\test_script.lua.lua:9] attempt to index a number value

This is quite puzzling.

team.GetColor is already in colour format.
team.GetColor(ply:Team()) is correct.
Could use all code to check variables such as ply and strText.

edit:
[lua] function Team()
LocalPlayer():ChatPrint(tostring(team.GetColor(LocalPlayer():Team() )))
end
concommand.Add("testcript_team",Team) [/lua]
printed [lua]

From my own code...
local Colour = team.GetColor(client:Team())

I don't quite understand "Could use all code to check variables"
edit: Did I forget to mention this script is clientside. Would getting the color of a team work clientside?

You never showed where other variables were defined.

[lua]
if CLIENT then
function PlyChat( ply, strText, Team, bPlayerIsDead )

chat.AddText(Color(255,255,255),"(CHAT) ",Color(team.GetColor(ply:Team() )),ply:Nick(),Color(255,255,255),": "..strText)

end -- End function

hook.Add("OnPlayerChat","PlyChat",PlyChat) -- Hook

end
[/lua]

[lua]
if CLIENT then
function PlyChat( ply, strText, Team, bPlayerIsDead )
local Colour = team.GetColor(ply:Team()) or Color(0,0,0)
chat.AddText(Color(255,255,255),"(CHAT) ",Colour,ply:Nick(),Color(255,255,255),": "..strText)
end -- End function

hook.Add("OnPlayerChat","PlyChat",PlyChat) -- Hook

end

[/lua]

Thanks.
