Using a string to set textdraw color - Amads - 01.07.2017

Is it possible to do something like that?

PHP Code:



                new str[16];

                new strJoin[8];

                

                strcat(str, "0xFF0000");

                format(strJoin, sizeof(strJoin), "%d", 10+amount*-1); // amount is my variable

                strcat(str, strJoin);

                

                PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, txtpDmg[playerid], str); // line 1606

I get an error:

PHP Code:



(1606) : error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 3)

Nope.

Code:

PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, txtpDmg[playerid], ADD_COLOR_CODE_HERE);
PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, txtpDmg[playerid], COLOR_RED);

You can use this.

Code:

format(strJoin, sizeof(strJoin), "~r~%d", 10+amount*-1);
PlayerTextDrawSetString(playerid, txtpDmg[playerid], strJoin);

Nevermind, got it

PHP Code:



new hex;

sscanf(str, "x", hex);


PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, txtpDmg[playerid], hex);
