How do I change the player model color?

[benjaminpants]

I have been working on a gamemode and I want to change the player color according to the team. How do I do this? If you need the init.lua I will happily put it in this thread.

testblcolour = {
1 = COLOR HERE,
2 = etc,
3 = etc,
4 = etc,
5 = etc,
6 = etc

}



function GM:PlayerSpawn(pl)
if !pl:IsValid then return end
local tm = testtblcolour[pl:Team()]
if (tm) then
local colour = tm[1]
pl:SetColor(colour) 
     end
end

This should work, just fill in the table with the colours and add teams as nessesary.
Cant be sure though as im still a lua scrub and i cant test it right now.

local testblcolour = {
    1 = { red, green, blue },
    2 = etc,
    3 = etc,
    4 = etc,
    5 = etc,
    6 = etc

    }



    function GM:PlayerSpawn(pl)
    if !pl:IsValid then return end
    local tm = testtblcolour[pl:Team()]
    if (tm) then
    local r = tm[1]
    local g = tm[2]
    local b = tm[3]
    pl:SetColor(r, g, b) 
         end
    end

Try that. Though to be completely honest lad if you can figure out a simple problem like this i dont know how exactly you're going to fare making an entire game mode.

Its still broken. When this script is not on the playermodel is fine. But when it is on it sets the playermodel the a broken blob
