How to create a message with multiple colors - GangsTa_ - 23.04.2011

Hello. Welcome to my first tutorial. I was watching and searching through the guides on SAMP forums for this section, and didn't find anything. I had problems with it too, the wiki info didn't help too much, I'll give here the full information.

Let's get it started.

Alrighty, let me show you what are we going to learn now. As you can see, the new SA-MP 0.3c version allows you to create a message that could include more colors, not just one that was written like:

Code:

SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Welcome to my SA-MP 0.3c server.");

Here I'll show you how to include more colors in this message such as red, green, blue, yellow..

Alright, so you want this message to appear when someone joins your server.
First of all, you need to read the information from wikipedia. CLICK

The second, if you need all the colors in hexadecimal codes, you can see them at this page, created by RyDeR`: CLICK

{ "RED", "FF0000" },
{ "GREY", "BABABA" },
{ "WHITE", "FFFFFF" },
{ "ORANGE", "DB881A" },
{ "GREEN", "37DB45" },
{ "PURPLE", "7340DB" }

Alrighty, you got the colors now.
Let's start with the message. If you need the message like I said, with multiple colors, read below:

We're going to need this message "Welcome to my SA-MP 0.3c server."
However, we want it to be like "Welcome to my SA-MP 0.3c server."

In SA-MP 0.3c, for making a few words look in different colors, you need to put the hexadecimal code into the brackets, like:

pawn Code:

{FF0000}

And the code for the message should look like this, because your making the red message after the closed bracket, the blue color after the next closed bracket, etc.

Look at this code to see an example:

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFFF, "{FF0000}Welcome to my {0000FF}SA-MP {DB881A}0.3c {37DB45}server.");
    return 1;
}

Also, forgot to state, maybe you noticed and asked yourself why I put the '0xFFFFFFFF' after the 'playerid'? Because you can put what color you want there, it will have no sense if you create a message with multiple colors.
Let's see what we done:

And here we're done with the messages.

However, SA-MP 0.3c allows us to create not only messages with multiple colors, but also 3D texts, Dialogs, Vehicle Number Plates.

-I will update soon with all those.-

SA:MP has a problem with messages longer than 150 characters -> (including colour embedding) not showing in chat at all.

As for your code. You never need to put colour embedding right after the first " because you can just put the colour in the colour parameter in SendClientMessage. Like below:

pawn Code:

SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Welcome to my {0000FF}SA-MP {DB881A}0.3c {37DB45}server.");

It will still show the same colours.

Yeah but I used the same code that I stated and it works, like you see on the screen.

Yeah, I know. I didn't say your code wouldn't work. I just said that you don't need the first {} because you can just put the colour in the second parameter.

Its not the close. Its because your placing the "ifsun_flower==1" AFTER you close for the first dialogue. Your going to need a second label then place your if statement after L_Require. Like this:

what's wrong with this? it doesn't work for me. It just shows exactly how it's typed.

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFAA, "welcome to {0xAA3333AA} my test server {0xFFFFFFAA} blabla.");
    return 1;
}

Sorry for bumping btw, I think because you adding 0x to every hex decimal color code in the message you sending try to remove 0x then try again.

Your thread bumping is actually pointless.

You are using hexadecimal colors, in the text itself you have to use decimal colors.

I would suggest using this site when you want to get some colors: http://www.color-hex.com
