TTT scoreboard rainbow names?

[kpjVideo]

Hello, I saw on my friends old server he had a flashing rainbow name in the TTT scoreboard that would change colors of the rainbow in half a second or so, I was wondering if anyone knew the code to set Steam ID's to do this? I saw on another post of someone asking for the same thing but I was unsure if those codes still worked and which one to use.
Thank you very much.

Were you on efhunterzone? If so, that was me with the flashing name lol. But honestly, I couldn't tell you the code. You'd have to ask Efhunter for it. In which case, let me know in this thread if you get it, because I need it for my server.

Edit: Also, yes, it is was linked to my SteamID. That's the best way to do it in my opinion.

[lua]
local frequency = 0.3
local red = math.sin(frequency*CurTime() + 0) * 127 + 128
local green = math.sin(frequency*CurTime() + 2) * 127 + 128
local blue = math.sin(frequency*CurTime() + 4) * 127 + 128
return Color(red,green,blue)
[/lua]

Three offset sine waves are what you are looking for. I use this algorithm. Graphed it looks like this. (Courteous of my TI-84)

Or you could use

HSVToColor( CurTime() % 360, 1, 1 )

Ahh okay that info helps alot, thanks guys!
Does anyone have a pre-made code where maybe I could just import my SteamID into the file? Not trying to be lazy but I am a bit new to LUA at this point.
Thanks alot!

People like to help others with coding not completely make a code for them on these forums.

I never knew that function existed. Thanks for the shortcut.

--Rainbow/Flashing name for Kamikazemelon (test)  
     if (self.Player:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:0:7129389") then
        timer.Create("NameSTEAM_0:0:7129389", 0.1, 0, function () 
            if (IsValid(self.Player)) then
              self.nick:SetTextColor(Color(math.random(0,255),
              math.random(0,255),
              math.random(0,255),
              255))
            else
              timer.Destroy("NameSTEAM_0:0:7129389")
            end
          end)
        --[[hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected", "TimerRemoveSTEAM_0:0:7129389",
          function ()
            if (ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:0:7129389" and
              timer.Exists("NameSTEAM_0:0:7129389")) then
              timer.Destroy("NameSTEAM_0:0:7129389")
            end
          end)]]--
     --Rainbow/Flashing name for DeadEd (Test)
     elseif (self.Player:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:0:27335599") then
        timer.Create("NameSTEAM_0:0:27335599", 0.1, 0, function () 
            if (IsValid(self.Player)) then
              self.nick:SetTextColor(Color(math.random(0,255),
              math.random(0,255),
              math.random(0,255),
              255))
            else
              timer.Destroy("NameSTEAM_0:0:27335599")
            end
          end)
        --[[hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected", "TimerRemoveSTEAM_0:0:27335599",
          function ()
            if (ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:0:27335599" and
              timer.Exists("NameSTEAM_0:0:27335599")) then
              timer.Destroy("NameSTEAM_0:0:27335599")
            end
          end)]]--
     end

Put it between

self.voice.DoClick = function()
                           if IsValid(ply) and ply != LocalPlayer() then
                              ply:SetMuted(not ply:IsMuted())
                           end
                        end

and

   self:UpdatePlayerData()
end

in gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/vgui/sb_row.lua. Modify the SteamIDs as needed. If you need any more help, I can send the whole file to you through Mediafire. Just figured I'd share it for other people who might want it.

Edit: Also, credits to Kamikazemelon. He made it for my TTT server.

Thanks alot H20! Is there a way to change the time to a bit slower?

[QUOTE=H2OJesus;41610794] -snip- [/QUOTE]

There are much better ways to [U]switch[/U] steamids and not repeat code as you will have to when you add more people to that code. Considering that the hook TTTScoreboardColorForPlayer is called every time the scoreboard paints there is no need for timers. You can simply return the output of a function and designate it via a table. I made this a long time ago, I am pretty sure it still works.

[lua]

if (SERVER) then
AddCSLuaFile("tg_ttt_scoreboard.lua")
end

if (CLIENT) then
_People = {
{"STEAM_0:0:17494584", 1},
{"STEAM_0:0:12123213", Color(255,255,255)},
{"STEAM_0:0:26837081", 2},
{"STEAM_0:1:41746024", Color(0,255,255)},
{"STEAM_0:1:21080880", Color(139,69,19)},
{"STEAM_0:0:25224335", Color(56,0,0)}
}

local function rainbowFade() // 1
local frequency = 0.3

local red = math.sin(frequency*CurTime() + 0) * 127 + 128
local green = math.sin(frequency*CurTime() + 2) * 127 + 128
local blue = math.sin(frequency*CurTime() + 4) * 127 + 128

return Color(red, green, blue)
end

local function randomColor() // 2
local red = math.random(255)
local green = math.random(255)
local blue = math.random(255)

return Color(red, green, blue)
end

local function colorName( ply )
local steam = ply:SteamID()
for k,v in pairs( _People ) do
if steam == v[1] then
local col = v[2]
if col == 1 then
return rainbowFade()
elseif col == 2 then
return randomColor()
else
return col
end
end
end
end
hook.Add("TTTScoreboardColorForPlayer", "Color Dem Bitches", colorName)
end

[/lua]

Use RealTime instead of CurTime. CurTime is synchronized with the server and will result in choppy animations in the case of lag.

Yes, but I wouldn't know how. I'll talk to Kamakazie and see if he can cook something up real quick.

It's no problem my man.
