[JASS] Convert Player Color to String

[Hakeem]

Is it possible to convert a variable of type 'Player Color' to a 'String'?
Is it possible to get the red, green, and blue values (Integer or Real) of a 'Player Color' variable?
And don't tell me to write a function with those values written in it. I can do that.

No
No
The solution is to make a function with the RGB values.... ups, I told you something you didn't want to hear.

Wouldn't it just be easier to assign the player colours to GUI globals to acess them? I mean it will look ugly but it will be reliable

What if I wanted the player color of Player( i ) then, Av3n?

In order to solve this situation, I did a function which compares the actual team color with the ones assigned by common.j.

Something like that:

function GetPlayerColorString takes player p returns string
    local playercolor c = GetPlayerColor(p)
    if c == PLAYER_COLOR_RED then
        return "<Red color code>"
    elseif c == PLAYER_COLOR_BLUE then
        return "<Blue color code>"
    // and so on....
    else
        return "<White color code>"
    endif
endfunction

The advantage of this function is that it takes in account the color even if the player would have changed it before starting the game.

Adding on to his post, I think this would work:

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

Then you can use it as a local string such as:

function example takes nothing returns nothing
    local string p1 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(0))
    local string p2 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(1))
    local string p3 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(2))
    local string p4 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(3))
    local string p5 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(4))
    local string p6 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(5))
    local string p7 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(6))
    local string p8 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(7))
    local string p9 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(8))
    local string p10 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(9))
    local string p11 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(10))
    local string p12 = GetPlayerColorString(Player(11))
endfunction

I hope this helps! [Don't forget if you are using this in text; you should add an "|r" after the string variable or function that you concatenate with the text!]

Let's make it better

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

But that makes the function very misleading.

Is there any way to color the text of a multiboard with an image?

 

[PurgeandFire]

Image:

native MultiboardSetItemIcon            takes multiboarditem mbi, string iconFileName returns nothing

[Note: To get the multiboard item, use:

native MultiboardGetItem                takes multiboard lb, integer row, integer column returns multiboarditem

]

Text:

native MultiboardSetItemValue           takes multiboarditem mbi, string val returns nothing

Example:

//Put this in your map's header//
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

//====================================

//Add this to your trigger:

function test takes nothing returns nothing
    local string array p
    local integer i = 0

    loop
        exitwhen i == 12
        set p[i] = GetPlayerColorString(Player(i)) 
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
endfunction

Use that for the locals, Get each multiboard item, then just add them to your multiboard using the SetItemValue and just do something like [I2S(p[<Player #>]) + "Text" + "|r"]

I hope this helps!
