Coloured Text

[Grechol]

Hi im new and i have one question.
How i can make coloured text.
Text Like on Dota when you kill the hero.
On this text players have their normal colours.

"Player 1 has pawned Player 2's head for an extra 100 gold."

This is something like that but i wanna add custom name of player .
Pla show me triggers to that thing ^^.

You don't require a trigger for coloured text.

You can use hexadecimal codes, I suggest using this tool (that's the only one I could find...).

Here's a list of the Wc3 codes used for player name colours:

Red: FF0303
Blue: 0042FF
Cyan: 1CE6B9
Purple: 540081
Yellow: FFFC00
Orange: FE8A0E
Green: 20C000
Pink: E55BB0
Light Gray: 959697
Light Blue: 7FBFF1
Aqua: 106246
Brown: 492A04

help him instead?

you use it like this:

|CFF"colorcode"hay|r, e.g |CFF0303hay|r would be

hay

 

[DigitalDemon]

Actually it's

|cff[COLORCODE][MESSAGE]|r

 

[Silvenon]

I don't see why is using a color code tool worse than memorizing and inputting each color code manually.

That's actually a wrong code and it will not work probably.

Its RRGGBB with the cff having nothing to do with the code, to put a pure red you'll need |cffff0000 this is red |r.

Every code is started with |cff , ends with |r and has between the hexadecimal color code which is represented by RRGGBB (red, red, green, green, blue, blue). Each of this letters could be placed with something between 0 and f (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f) with 0 being nothing and f being the maximum, of course.

That's all there is for hexa colors.

@OP:

If you intend to prevent players from choosing their color in-game, there is an easy way to prepare this. Just make a string array with each value correlating to each player slot and fill them in with player names colored.

For example:
playerstring[0]=red colored player 1's name
playerstring[1]=blue colored player 2's name
etc.

And then when the time comes for you to put these into action, you can just use (Player Number - 1) in GUI to get the right slot in the array. I say minus one because GUI is weird and starts counting player numbers from 1, whereas JASS starts from 0.

 

[Ciebron]

(Player Number) in GUI returns player number + 1, that mean player 1 (red) will get 1(0 in jass)

e.g when u setup

Set PlayerColor[1] = "RedColorCode"

and to use its

PlayerColor[(Player Number)]

I just don't like to waste the 0th slot in arrays, even when I used to use GUI. :\

You do not "waste" them as they are not initialized. Also, every array you create in warcraft automatically creates an array with 8192 slots, so even if it would "waste" that slot, it wouldn't matter whatsoever.

Are you serious? Wow, that's kind of annoying.
