HEX formatting - sim_sima - 19.12.2013

Just a fast question.
I am trying to make a function called "SendSystemMessage".
Here is what it looks like:

pawn Код:

stock SendSystemMessage(playerid, color, message[])
{
    new string[170];
    format(string,sizeof(string),"{FFFFFF}[{2B78FF}MSG{FFFFFF}] {%x}%s", color, message);
    SendClientMessage(playerid, color, string);
}

My problem is the color implementing (the "{%x}").
The the color is used in the function, it will look something like this:

pawn Код:

SendSystemMessage(playerid, 0x009900FF, "Welcome back!");

But in order to use the color in the string formatting, it needs to look like this: "009900"
I have to remove the "0x" and the last 2 letters within the formatting. How do I do that?

pawn Код:

stock SendSystemMessage(playerid, color, message[])
{
    new string[144];
    format(string,sizeof(string),"[{2B78FF}MSG{FFFFFF}] {%06x}%s", color >>> 8, message);
    SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, string);
}

    SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, string);
}

Doesn't work. I need to split the HEX color like this: 0x 009900 FF
so that it only uses the MIDDLE 6 characters of the HEX.
Removing the 0x and the FF like this: 009900

Thank you for trying though

It does work.

Run:

pawn Код:

#include <a_samp>

main() 
{
    new
        string[9],
        color = 0x009900FF;
    format(string, sizeof(string), "{%06x}", color >>> 8);
    print(string);
}

The output is: {009900}

This is a function that I am making. It is supposed to be used like this:

pawn Код:

SendSystemMessage(playerid, 0x009900FF, "This is a message")

It will send a client message that looks like this: "[MSG] This is a message", where the "[]" are blue and the "MSG" is white, and the "This is a message" will be green (or whatever color you use in the function)

Yes I know, but I changed that. The problem is the string message, not the "[MSG]" part

Well, the code works fine. I even tested it to show you how it looks like:

So the problem is that you're doing something wrong.

Yes it would be easy to make it if I only wanted to use the green color.
But I want to be able to use it dynamically with any color

EDIT: Oh nvm, I figured it out

Thank you!
