Ulx Custom command for setting Hud Text and color? SWRP

[Mizuria]

Hello, i have been tinkering with this hud called BarHud, I have been working on adding a Defcon Section to it... The problem is we dont have a location to file it so it says Defcon: Citizen atm... Which is not correct i know.
Where trying to find a way to use a ulx command such as, "!defcon 1" to set the text of the defcon to; Defcon: 1 - Evacuate Ship

Were trying to get six of them
"!defcon 1" 1 - Evacuate ship
"!defcon 2" 2 - Protect ERL and 3rd Floor
"!defcon 3" 3 - Man Your Battlestations
"!defcon 4" 4 - Sweep for Tangos
"!defcon 5" 5 - High Alert
"!defcon 6" 6 - Natural State

We dont need them to add "Defcon:" as the tab says it already.
Also setting a color as it changes defcons such as defcon 6 being green to defcon 1 being red.

You could have the ULX command set a global string via SetGlobalString("indentifier,"Evacuate Ship!") and have the hud call for it via GetGlobalString("indentifier") for color, you could try using SetGlobalInt and have it set a value ex:

function ulx.defcon( calling_ply, defconlevel )
if defconlevel == nil then
ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, "That defcon level is not valid!", true )
return 
end

if defconlevel == 6 then
SetGlobalString("defcon","6 - Natural State")
SetGlobalInt("defconcolor",6)
elseif defconlevel == 5 then
SetGlobalString("defcon","5 - High Alert")
SetGlobalInt("defconcolor",5)
elseif defconlevel == 4 then
SetGlobalString("defcon","4 - Sweep for Tangos")
SetGlobalInt("defconcolor",4)
elseif defconlevel == 3 then
SetGlobalString("defcon","3 - Man Your Battlestations")
SetGlobalInt("defconcolor",3)
elseif defconlevel == 2 then
SetGlobalString("defcon","2 - Protect ERL and 3rd Floor")
SetGlobalInt("defconcolor",2)
elseif defconlevel == 1 then
SetGlobalString("defcon","1 - Evacuate ship")
SetGlobalInt("defconcolor",1)
else
ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, "That defcon level does not exist!", true )
end
ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A set Ships Status to #s", name )
end
local defcon = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx defcon", ulx.defcon, "!defcon" )
defcon:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="defcon level", ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
defcon:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_SUPERADMIN )
defcon:help( "Sets defcon level." )

hook.Add("HUDPaint","hudstuff",function()
local DefconString = GetGlobalString("defcon")
local DefconColor = {}
DefconColor[1] = Color(255,55,55)
DefconColor[2] = Color(255,165,0)
DefconColor[3] = Color(122,255,0)
DefconColor[4] = Color(255,255,0)
DefconColor[5] = Color(0,255,0)
DefconColor[6] = Color(0,170,0)

surface.SetDrawColor(DefconColor[GetGlobalInt("defconcolor",6)])
surface.DrawText(DefconString or "Natural State")
end)
