hi all...

can anyone fix my code and then explain to me why it doesn't work?

pawn Код:

CMD:color(playerid,params[])
{
    new tempcolor[32];
    format(tempcolor, sizeof tempcolor, "0x%sFF", params);
    strmid(tempcolor, tempcolor, 0, strlen(tempcolor), 32);
    SetPlayerColor(playerid, tempcolor[0]);
    printf("%s",tempcolor[0]); // for debugging
    return 1;
}

bump...
anyone?
i really really need an answer...

Colors aren't strings, they're numbers. Use sscanf's 'x' specifier to convert hexadecimal string input to the proper number.

like this?

pawn Код:

CMD:color(playerid,params[])
{
    new tempcolor[32];
    format(tempcolor, sizeof tempcolor, "0x%xFF", params);
    strmid(tempcolor, tempcolor, 0, strlen(tempcolor), 32);
    SetPlayerColor(playerid, tempcolor[0]);
    printf("%s",tempcolor[0]); // for debugging
    return 1;
}

I am pretty sure that the "x" specifier also handles normal numbers, making the job more easier! Correct me if I am wrong. Cheers (source?)

EDIT: I still have no idea what that page tells, I'll just run some code, thanks

No. Because, for example, 11 (0x11) in the hexadecimal number system is 17 in the decimal number system.

pawn Код:

CMD:color(playerid, params[])
{
    new color;
    
    if(sscanf(params, "x", color))
        return SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Invalid input");
        
    color <<= 8; // shift left to make room for alpha
    color |= 0xFF; // Add the alpha
    
    SetPlayerColor(playerid, color);
    return 1;
}

Pro tip: use the Programmer's mode in Windows Calculator to help you with hexadecimal operations.

If the length of params wasn't 6, then I'd send an error message because let's say the player typed "00FF00FF00FF" - the result would be: 0xFF00FFFF

PS: I knew it was possible to add the alpha to the variable (integer type) but I couldn't remember how it was. Thanks for reminding me that, Vince!

thank's for the explanation Vince....

i've been edited it a bit into

pawn Код:

CMD:color(playerid, params[])
{
    new color;

    if(sscanf(params, "x", color))
        return SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Invalid input");
    if(strlen(params) != 6)
        return SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Invalid input"); // remind the player if the color is invalid

    color <<= 8; // shift left to make room for alpha
    color |= 0xFF; // Add the alpha

    SetPlayerColor(playerid, color); // set the player's color
    return 1;
}

and it's worked!....

thank's

EDIT:

should i change the mysql query from "i" into "x"?
