Based on a color in format: 0xRRGGBBAA
You have to pick: {RRGGBB}

Or you use a color picker like this one: http://www.colorpicker.com/
Simply pick the Code in the box and put it between braces.

pawn Код:

ishex(c)
    return (('0' <= c <= '9') || ('A' <= toupper(c) <= 'F'));

ColorsInText(const str[])
{
    new num, colors;
    for(new i = 0, c, d; (c = str[i]) != EOS; i++)
    {
        if(c == '{')
        {
            num = 0;
            for(d = i + 1; d < i + 7; d++)
            {
                if(!str[d]) break;
                if(!ishex(str[d])) break;

                num++;
            }
            if(num == 6 && str[d] == '}') colors++;
        }
    }
    return colors;
}

Usage

pawn Код:

new str[] = "{ASA}Hello {AAAAAA}there {FFFFFF}wazzap {AA}";
printf("Hex codes in text: %d",ColorsInText(str));

Sorry for the late response (I didn't see the topic until now), but what the poster is talking about is embedded colors.

Код:

{0000FF}blue {FF0000}red
blue red

And he's asking if they count as characters (Since SendClientMessage is limited to 144 characters).

Also, you can clearly see I didn't add any the alpha channel, but { } also count as 2 chars. (6 + 2 =
