How would I go about setting a colour as a string? - 2KY - 24.04.2012

Inside of my user files, colours are saved like so;

Quote:

Colour = FFFFFF

So what I'm trying to do is..

pawn Код:

format( colStr, sizeof( colStr ), "0x%sFF", accInfo [ playerid ] [ Colour ] );
SetPlayerColor( playerid, colStr );

How would I go about doing this?

You'll have to create an enum for accInfo.

PHP код:



enum playerenum
{
     Colour
}
new accInfo[MAX_PLAYERS][playerenum];

Assign it a value.

PHP код:



accInfo[playerid][Colour] = FFFFFF

Then the code you inserted would work perfectly.

PHP код:



new colStr[12];
format( colStr, sizeof( colStr ), "0x%sFF", accInfo [ playerid ] [ Colour ] );
SetPlayerColor( playerid, colStr );

I've got all of that, and that's EXACTLY what I have. You can't set a colour as a string like that.

two people making this mistake..

just use:

Код:

SetPlayerColor( playerid, accInfo [ playerid ] [ Colour ] );

I suppose I'll just modify my file-write to 0xFFFFFFFF rather than just FFFFFFF.

Use sscanf or try hexstr by ******:

pawn Код:

stock hexstr(string[])
{
    new
        ret,
        val,
        i;
    if (string[0] == '0' && (string[1] == 'x' || string[1] == 'X')) i = 2;
    while (string[i])
    {
        ret <<= 4;
        val = string[i++] - '0';
        if (val > 0x09) val -= 0x07;
        if (val > 0x0F) val -= 0x20;
        if (val < 0x01) continue;
        if (val < 0x10) ret += val;
    }
    return ret;
}

It would still be an string!

Oddly enough it still works.
