Ok so wanting to set a Player color blue for example this way works fine

pawn Код:

#define COLOR_BLUE 0x2641FE00

SetPlayerColor(playerid,COLOR_BLUE);

or

pawn Код:

SetPlayerColor(playerid, 0x2641FE00);

But i have the color loading from mysql which (Which looks like this 2507262) all works well as it prints "2641FE" like normal

but having issues making it the correct color for SetPlayerColor i need to know how can i make it 0x2641FE00 so it defines the correct color?

Since i can't use strings i can't find a way around it

example:

pawn Код:

SetPlayerColor(playerid,PlayerInfo[playerid][pColor]);

It's not even a color i'm trying to define

But this works fine

pawn Код:

format(string, sizeof(string), "This is your {%x}Color", PlayerInfo[playerid][pColor]);
SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_WHITE ,string);

That works fine just need a way of correctly setting it for PlayerSetColor, if anyone knows how that would be great full

P.S I've tried searching the forums but getting no luck with it.

Why not store their color as a string instead and store the names of your defines?

From what I've read you have to store than as integers and not as strings

It's only the SetPlayerColor i'm only having the issues with

Colors are integers. Hex is an integer. They work vise-versa. Just save/load it as an integer.

I do, but the color is no where near what it displays in SendClientMessage which is the issue i'm having also i save them as %i if that's any help?

Also i need it to load as an RBGA so i can make it no display on the mini-map which pretty sure >>> 8 can cover?

I meant if you were to store, instead of the color's value, it's define. I.e storing COLOR_BLUE in PlayerInfo[playerid][pColor].

oh i can't, cause the player can choose their own color, which is why it's stored the way i have it lol but struggling to get my head around the setplayercolor :P

EDIT:

When i try to this:

pawn Код:

stock GetColor(hex)
{
    new
        str[15];

    format(str, sizeof(str), "0x%6x00", hex);
    return str;
}

i get this error: error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 2) but this would give me the value for the correct color due to the string

EDIT:
this can be closed now, i fixed it using << 8 appears to have solved the issue
