Need some help

[pyroboytodumax]

Im editing some of DarkRP for my server im getting and i cant figure out how to change the color of a certain part of this:

this is what im trying to do
[lua]
TalkToPerson(v, col2, "(AllTalk) ", col,..ply:Name(), col2, text, ply)
[/lua]
I know why that wont work but i don't know what to do to make it work :(

Here is some of the surrounding code.

Code:
[lua]
local function OOC(ply, args)
if GetConVarNumber("ooc") == 0 then
Notify(ply, 1, 4, string.format(LANGUAGE.disabled, "OOC", ""))
return ""
end

local DoSay = function(text)
if text == "" then return "" end
local col = team.GetColor(ply:Team())
local col2 = Color(255,255,255,255)
if not ply:Alive() then
col2 = Color(255,200,200,255)
col = col2
end
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
TalkToPerson(v, col, "(AllTalk) "..ply:Name(), col2, text, ply)
end
end
return args, DoSay
end
[/lua]

this was all taken from the main.lua of DarkRP.

Also how do i make a code box on here ?

For code boxes, well lua boxes, use [ lua] and [ /lua]

Thanks. Any one got anything on the other part?

[lua]
TalkToPerson(v, [b]col2[/b], "(AllTalk) ", [b]col[b],..ply:Name(), col2, text, ply)
[/lua]

col2 is the white colour of the players text.
col is the colour of the players team

Above that it sets col2 and col:
[lua]
local col = team.GetColor(ply:Team())
local col2 = Color(255,255,255,255)
[/lua]

In the code change those variables to what you want the colours to be.

I know that but the thing is that i want the "(AllTalk)" part to be white (col2) and the name to be the team color (col) and then the text to be white again (col2).

That's slightly more difficult, you'd have to edit the TalkToPerson and DarkRPChat functions as well to have the third colour in them, is there a problem with just having (AllTalk) PlayersName all as the team colour then the text white?

[pyroboytodumax]

Thats how it is now im just trying to customize it a little more. I dont HAVE to have it. im sure i can get along fine without it. would it be any easyer to add something on to the end in the team name color?

[pyroboytodumax]

Ok. Well i found the function.
[lua]
function TalkToPerson(receiver, col1, text1, col2, text2, sender)
umsg.Start("DarkRP_Chat", receiver)
umsg.Short(col1.r)
umsg.Short(col1.g)
umsg.Short(col1.b)
umsg.String(text1)
if sender then
umsg.Entity(sender)
end
if col2 and text2 then
umsg.Short(col2.r)
umsg.Short(col2.g)
umsg.Short(col2.b)
umsg.String(text2)
end
umsg.End()
end
[/lua]

not sure how to edit that though

[Drakehawke]

Okay, use this as the OOC function:

[lua]
local function OOC(ply, args)
if GetConVarNumber("ooc") == 0 then
Notify(ply, 1, 4, string.format(LANGUAGE.disabled, "OOC", ""))
return ""
end

local DoSay = function(text)
if text == "" then return "" end
local col = team.GetColor(ply:Team())
local col2 = Color(255,255,255,255)
if not ply:Alive() then
col2 = Color(255,200,200,255)
col = col2
end
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
TalkToPerson(v, col, ply:Name(), col2, text, ply)
end
end
return args, DoSay
end
[/lua]

Then in cl_init.lua, line 997 should be the AddToChat function, replace it with this:

[lua]
local function AddToChat(msg)
local col1 = Color(msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort())

local name = msg:ReadString()
local ply = msg:ReadEntity()
local col2 = Color(msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort())

local text = msg:ReadString()
if text and text ~= "" then
chat.AddText(col2, "(AllTalk) ", col1, name, col2, ": "..text)
if ValidEntity(ply) then
hook.Call("OnPlayerChat", GM, ply, text, false, ply:Alive())
end
else
chat.AddText(col1, name)
hook.Call("ChatText", GM, "0", name, name, "none")
end
chat.PlaySound()
end
usermessage.Hook("DarkRP_Chat", AddToChat)
[/lua]

That should work. Sorry I didn't think of this before, it's actually way simpler than I first made it out to be, I'd just got up xD

No problem =]

One thing i just noticed is that it does it when you use all types of chat not just "AllTalk" or "OOC" :(

[QUOTE=pyroboytodumax;23386416]One thing i just noticed is that it does it when you use all types of chat not just "AllTalk" or "OOC" :([/QUOTE]

Okay, try this:

(I presume you know where each function goes by now..)

[lua]
local function AddToChat(msg)
local col1 = Color(msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort())

local name = msg:ReadString()
local ply = msg:ReadEntity()
local col2 = Color(msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort())

local text = msg:ReadString()
local isooc = msg:ReadBool()
if text and text ~= "" then
if isooc then
chat.AddText(col2, "(AllTalk) ", col1, name, col2, ": "..text)
else
chat.AddText(col1, name, col2, ": "..text)
end
if ValidEntity(ply) then
hook.Call("OnPlayerChat", GM, ply, text, false, ply:Alive())
end
else
chat.AddText(col1, name)
hook.Call("ChatText", GM, "0", name, name, "none")
end
chat.PlaySound()
end
usermessage.Hook("DarkRP_Chat", AddToChat)

local function OOC(ply, args)
if GetConVarNumber("ooc") == 0 then
Notify(ply, 1, 4, string.format(LANGUAGE.disabled, "OOC", ""))
return ""
end

local DoSay = function(text)
if text == "" then return "" end
local col = team.GetColor(ply:Team())
local col2 = Color(255,255,255,255)
if not ply:Alive() then
col2 = Color(255,200,200,255)
col = col2
end
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
TalkToPerson(v, col, ply:Name(), col2, text, ply, true)
end
end
return args, DoSay
end

function TalkToPerson(receiver, col1, text1, col2, text2, sender, isooc)
umsg.Start("DarkRP_Chat", receiver)
umsg.Short(col1.r)
umsg.Short(col1.g)
umsg.Short(col1.b)
umsg.String(text1)
if sender then
umsg.Entity(sender)
end
if col2 and text2 then
umsg.Short(col2.r)
umsg.Short(col2.g)
umsg.Short(col2.b)
umsg.String(text2)
umsg.Bool( isooc )
end
umsg.End()
end
[/lua]

Yup that works perfectly :) thanks a bunch
