Embedded colour codes with format(); - Jonesy96 - 06.07.2016

Hi all,

I've been looking all over for how to do this, but cant seem to find anything anywhere to help me crack it. I'm trying to embed colour codes into a string using format. My code is below:

Код:

#define EMBED_WHITE "{FFFFFF}"
#define EMBED_WHITESMOKE "{F5F5FF}"

format(string, sizeof(string), "%x%s: %x%s",EMBED_WHITE, fullName(playerid, false), EMBED_WHITESMOKE, text);

However, unfortunately it's just outputting like below:

Any ideas? Thanks

format(string, sizeof (string), ""EMBED_WHITE"%s: "EMBEND_WHITESMOKE"%s", fullName(playerid, false), text);

change %x -> %s

format(string, sizeof(string), ""#EMBED_WHITE"%s: "#EMBED_WHITESMOKE"%s", fullName(playerid, false), text);

Just add your colors like this example

Quote:

new string[128];
format(string, sizeof string, "{00ff00}Hello %s" , pName(playerid));

So it will send a message saying hello to player with color lime green.
Hope I helped you.

Hi again all,

I now have a further issue relating to this. In my chatlog (so what will be the player's chatlog) you can see the colour codes. How do I get rid of this? It currently shows:

Код:

[19:32:16] {FFFFFF}Joe Bloggs: {F5F5FF}Test
[19:32:18] {A3A3A3}(([0] Joe Bloggs: Test))

You can't.

If you want to read it in the chat log, you'll need to format the string again without the colour brackets, and print ( ) it
