Need help to config HUD

[Ezotose]

Hello !
I need help for config my darkRP HUD, it's the TCB HUD 2 [I]free[/I] :
I would like to write the rank of the player in (this is working), but if he is Player the rank is written in Yellow, if he is Admin, the rank is written in blue and if he is SuperAdmin, the rank is written in red.

The basic code for writing the rank is this :

	local VAL_Rank      = LocalPlayer():GetUserGroup() or "Joueur"

	--Rank
	draw.DrawText(VAL_Rank, "TCB_BebasNeue_1", HUD.PosX + 285 + 1, HUD.PosY + 18 * 1 + 2.5 * 2 + 1, Color(0, 0, 0, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
	draw.DrawText(VAL_Rank, "TCB_BebasNeue_1", HUD.PosX + 285, HUD.PosY + 18 * 1 + 2.5 * 2, Color(51, 51, 255, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)

But I made this for change the colors :

	if ply:IsSuperAdmin() then
		draw.DrawText(VAL_Rank, "TCB_BebasNeue_1", HUD.PosX + 285 + 1, HUD.PosY + 18 * 1 + 2.5 * 2 + 1, Color(0, 0, 0, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
		draw.DrawText(VAL_Rank, "TCB_BebasNeue_1", HUD.PosX + 285, HUD.PosY + 18 * 1 + 2.5 * 2, Color(51, 51, 255, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
	else if ply:IsAdmin() then
		draw.DrawText(VAL_Rank, "TCB_BebasNeue_1", HUD.PosX + 320 + 1, HUD.PosY + 18 * 1 + 2.5 * 2 + 1, Color(0, 0, 0, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
		draw.DrawText(VAL_Rank, "TCB_BebasNeue_1", HUD.PosX + 320, HUD.PosY + 18 * 1 + 2.5 * 2, Color(255, 51, 51, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
	else
		draw.DrawText(VAL_Rank, "TCB_BebasNeue_1", HUD.PosX + 285 + 1, HUD.PosY + 18 * 1 + 2.5 * 2 + 1, Color(0, 0, 0, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
		draw.DrawText(VAL_Rank, "TCB_BebasNeue_1", HUD.PosX + 285, HUD.PosY + 18 * 1 + 2.5 * 2, Color(51, 255, 255, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
	end

But it not working ! :weeb:

Can you help me please ?

Any errors? I'm guessing ply isn't defined.

Try this:
[lua]
local rankcolors = {
["SuperAdmin"] = Color(255,0,0),
["Admin"] = Color(0,0,255),
["User"] = Color(255,255,0),
}

local rankcol = rankcolor[VAL_Rank] or Color(255,255,0)
draw.DrawText(VAL_Rank, "TCB_BebasNeue_1", HUD.PosX + 285 + 1, HUD.PosY + 18 * 1 + 2.5 * 2 + 1, Color(0, 0, 0, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
draw.DrawText(VAL_Rank, "TCB_BebasNeue_1", HUD.PosX + 285, HUD.PosY + 18 * 1 + 2.5 * 2, rankcol, TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
[/lua]

Preferably put the table of ranks outside of the HUDPrint hook, doesn't need to be but best to.

i would make VAL_Rank lowercase to check against the table

It's a spelling mistake, literally read your own error and compare it to what is being defined in your code

[sp] Change 'rankcolor' in local rankcol = rankcolor[VAL_Rank] or Color(255,255,0) to 'rankcolors' [/sp]
