Player Color Code Functions

Well I saw a real lack of basic useful JASS functions so heres three nice easy ones that involve player colour codes. (the bottom one is by me)

GetPlayerColorString
by Silvenon

function GetPlayerColorString takes player p, string s returns string
    local playercolor c = GetPlayerColor(p)
    if c == PLAYER_COLOR_RED then
        set s = "|cffFF0202" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_BLUE then
        set s = "|cff0041FF" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_CYAN then
set s = "|cff1BE5B8" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_PURPLE then
set s = "|cff530080" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_YELLOW then
set s = "|cffFFFC00" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_ORANGE then
set s = "|cffFE890D" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_GREEN then
set s = "|cff1FBF00" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_PINK then
set s = "|cffE45AAF" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_GRAY then
set s = "|cff949596" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_BLUE then
set s = "|cff7DBEF1" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_AQUA then
set s = "|cff0F6145" + s + "|r"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_BROWN then
set s = "|cff4D2903" + s + "|r"
    else
set s = "|cffFFFFFF" + s + "|r"
    endif
    set c = null
    return s
endfunction

Like other Player Color String functions, but takes the string to colorize to be slightly more efficient

GetPlayerColorString
by PurgeandFire111

function GetPlayerColorString takes player p returns string
//Credits to Andrewgosu from TH for the color codes//
    local playercolor c = GetPlayerColor(p)
    local string s
    if c == PLAYER_COLOR_RED then
        set s = "|cffFF0202"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_BLUE then
        set s = "|cff0041FF"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_CYAN then
        set s = "|cff1BE5B8"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_PURPLE then
        set s = "|cff530080"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_YELLOW then
        set s = "|cffFFFC00"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_ORANGE then
        set s = "|cffFE890D"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_GREEN then
        set s = "|cff1FBF00"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_PINK then
        set s = "|cffE45AAF"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_GRAY then
        set s = "|cff949596"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_BLUE then
        set s = "|cff7DBEF1"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_AQUA then
        set s = "|cff0F6145"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_BROWN then
        set s = "|cff4D2903"
    else
        set s = "|cffFFFFFF"
    endif
    set c = null
    return s
endfunction

This function returns the player colour code in case you want to use it for another function. e.g :

Originally Posted by PurgeandFire111

call BJDebugMsg(GetPlayerColorString(p)+" This is orange text|r")

It'll display this:
Player 5 (Orange) This is orange text|r

If you want, I guess you could remove the GetPlayerName+|r and instead have this function.

function PlayerColorText takes player whichPlayer, string text returns string
    return GetPlayerColorString(whichPlayer)+text+"|r"
endfunction

GetPlayerNameColoured

I did not create the first of this type, but I did this one from scratch:

function GetPlayerNameColoured takes player p returns string
    local playercolor pc = GetPlayerColor(p)
    local string s
    if pc == PLAYER_COLOR_RED then
        set s = "|cffFF0202"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_BLUE then
        set s = "|cff0041FF"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_CYAN then
        set s = "|Cff1BE5B8"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_PURPLE then
        set s = "|CFF530080"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_YELLOW then
        set s = "|CFFFFFC00"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_ORANGE then
        set s = "|CFFFE890D"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_GREEN then
        set s = "|CFF1FBF00"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_PINK then
        set s = "|CFFE45AAF"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_GRAY then
        set s = "|CFF949596"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_BLUE then
        set s = "|CFF7DBEF1"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_AQUA then
        set s = "|CFF0F6145"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_BROWN then
        set s = "|CFF4D2903"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    else // A safty function
        set s = "|CFFFFFFFF"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    endif
    set pc = null
    return s
endfunction

Credit to PurgeAndFire for the colour scripts.

The function returns the players name coloured, according to what colour he/she is. It does not return the color based on what playerslot the player is in, and is compatible with changing player colors.

Updated:
Fixed the colours using a program called Chaos Spectrum by Fougie47, hopefully they are correct now.
The playercolor pc is nulled because it is a handle.
Updated:
Now uses the colour codes that have been suggested as they seem to be correct.
*Updated*

The color codes are not exactly correct.

Damn you... Damn you!! Damn you so much... :P

The thing is, I made this one a while back. Technically, Diablo-dk did part of it and I finished it then he made more crazy stuff and stuff. The color codes seem kind of incorrect, maybe you should use Andrewgosu's; or just use my code:

function GetPlayerColorString takes player p returns string
//Credits to Andrewgosu from TH for the color codes//
    local playercolor c = GetPlayerColor(p)
    if c == PLAYER_COLOR_RED then
        return "|cffFF0202"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_BLUE then
        return "|cff0041FF"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_CYAN then
        return "|cff1BE5B8"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_PURPLE then
        return "|cff530080"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_YELLOW then
        return "|cffFFFC00"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_ORANGE then
        return "|cffFE890D"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_GREEN then
        return "|cff1FBF00"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_PINK then
        return "|cffE45AAF"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_GRAY then
        return "|cff949596"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_BLUE then
        return "|cff7DBEF1"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_AQUA then
        return "|cff0F6145"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_BROWN then
        return "|cff4D2903"
    else
        return "|cffFFFFFF"
    endif
endfunction

I don't think playercolor's would need to be nulled... Though I'm not sure. I just know it isn't a very big leak. :D

But your's is good. +rep

Ok I'll update the colours asap, probably later today or at least by tomorrow...

*Script Updated*
Now the colours are correct ( or to close to be noticably wrong ).
Also fixed a major stupid mistake with the use of light blue twice.

They are, as you said, still not exactly correct. Should be fixed.

The color codes from PurgeandFire are correct. I'm using them too.
Heres a example

The upper ones are the custom text messages.

*Updated*
Updated again to now use the suggested and seemingly preferred colour codes.
Thanks to all that made suggestions and pointed out mistakes.

I think you should remove the "GetPlayerName(p)" for the "set s = " part.

The thing is, some people might just want the color. So if they did this:

call BJDebugMsg(GetPlayerColorString(p)+" This is orange text|r")

It'll display this:
Player 5 (Orange) This is orange text|r

If you want, I guess you could remove the GetPlayerName+|r and instead have this function.

function PlayerColorText takes player whichPlayer, string text returns string
    return GetPlayerColorString(whichPlayer)+text+"|r"
endfunction

They're both handy functions, with the GetPlayerNameColored function being a bit more specialized, but useful nonetheless.

I can't test those strings at the exact moment, but since there seems to be a general consensus that they're close enough to correct, ~approved~

Thank you Purple,
Im going to update this and change it into player colour string functions if no one minds.
I'll add Purge's GetPlayerColourString and maybe a few examples of use later today...

Ow man you really had to use so many "elseif"-s...

globals
string array GPC_PCString
endglobals

library GPC
function GetPlayerColour takes player p returns string
return GPC_PCString[GetPlayerId(p)]
endfunction

function GetPlayerNameColoured takes player p returns string
return GPC_PCString[GetPlayerId(p)]+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
endfunction

function GetPlayerIdColour takes integer i returns string
return GPC_PCString[i]
endfunction

function GetPlayerIdNameColoured takes integer i returns string
return GPC_PCString[i]+GetPlayerName(Player(i))+"|r"
endfunction

function InitTrig_GetPlayerColour takes nothing returns nothing
set GPC_PCString[0] = "|c00ff0000"
set GPC_PCString[1] = "|c000000ff"
set GPC_PCString[2] = "|c0018e7bd"
set GPC_PCString[3] = "|c00520084"
set GPC_PCString[4] = "|c00ffff00"
set GPC_PCString[5] = "|c00ff8a08"
set GPC_PCString[6] = "|c0018be00"
set GPC_PCString[7] = "|c00e759ad"
set GPC_PCString[8] = "|c00949694"
set GPC_PCString[9] = "|c007bbef7"
set GPC_PCString[10] = "|c00086142"
set GPC_PCString[11] = "|c004a2800"
endfunction
endlibrary

You could do it all this way, it is simplier, and waaay faster. These are 100% right colours, for nitpicking people like Thunder_eye :)

There really is no need to use vJASS,
This is a simple new JASSer orientated script....

but this is uber fast. It is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY faster to use variables instead of elseif, it has been proved many times. And anyawy, kixer, you can rip colours from my system ;)
