I need help with something easy.

I want that you can type /vcolor and then your name color will be flashing on the map and in the chat (Flashing with 2 colours).

I know I have to use a Timer and SetPlayerColor but can you help me a bit more?

Thank you

What's wrong here:

PHP код:

forward FlashName(playerid);
public FlashName(playerid)
{
    new vFlash = random(sizeof(ColorFlash));
    SetPlayerColor(playerid, ColorFlash[vFlash]); // Replace the "COLOR" with your defined color.
    return 1;
}

Nothing, as long as your array that contains all the colors is fine every time FlashName is called it'll set their name color.

If your timer repeats it'll work fine.

ERROR:

PHP код:

Line:

PHP код:

SetPlayerColor(playerid, ColorFlash[vFlash]); // Replace the "COLOR" with your defined color. 


My codes:

PHP код:

new ColorFlash[][] =
{
    {"#FFFFFF"},
    {"#FFFFFF"},
    {"#FFFFFF"}
};

forward FlashName(playerid);
public FlashName(playerid)

    new vFlash = random(sizeof(ColorFlash));
    SetPlayerColor(playerid, ColorFlash[vFlash]); // Replace the "COLOR" with your defined color.
    return 1;
}

SetTimer("FlashName", 6000, true);

The array ColorFlash should be 1D, and not 2D.
The colour is supposed to be a hex (integer), and not a string.

Example:
0xFF0000FF is red.

Still got the error when I do this:

PHP код:

new ColorFlash[][] =
{
    "0xFF0000FF",
    "0xFF0000FF",
    "0xFF0000FF"
};
