I understand the title is not the best but i don't know what else to say, i need to make a table holding ranks and colors assigned to them then lay them out and assign the color to a draw.DrawText()

AHUD.RankColors = {
	["owner"]		  = Color( 0, 255, 255, 255 ),
	["coowner"]		  = Color( 0, 255, 255, 255 ),
	["admin"]		  = Color( 0, 255, 255, 255 ),
	["superadmin"]	  = Color( 0, 255, 255, 255 ),
}

For example, a table like this and have them read in a function like this

	local g = self:GetNWString( "usergroup" )
        draw.DrawText( "Rank: " .. string.upper( g ), "AHudFont_20", x, y-h+69, COLOR GOES HERE, 1 )

but the color should only go their if the rank is the same in AHUD.RankColors["HERE"]

Just do this:

AHUD.RankColors[ self:GetNWString( "usergroup" ) ]

But you might want to add a default color, for example, white:

AHUD.RankColors[ self:GetNWString( "usergroup" ) ] or Color( 255, 255, 255 )

In the original code it'd look like this:

local g = self:GetNWString( "usergroup" )
draw.DrawText( "Rank: " .. string.upper( g ), "AHudFont_20", x, y-h+69, AHUD.RankColors[ g ] or Color( 255, 255, 255 ), 1 )

Yea Player:GetUserGroup() is a 10x better method than GetNWString. some admin mods use a different method of getting a players user group ;)

How is GetUserGroup 10 times better? It literally just calls GetNWString.

Because it allows the admin mod to overwrite the function.
