Can you please post this in more detail? When you meen change color, do you meen to do like what spoofs do? And I dont understand that last part.
If its in the map forum then it obviously has nothing to do with spoofs. This is what I mean:

My username + of Chaos (example for map)

So basically any username in the game becomes the same colour, and an add on that is given to each one has a different colour. Like in Defiances ORPG.

use the "change player name" function
with the "name of [triggering/picked/whatever] player" function

you'll need to set it up what you change the name to as "multiple strings" or whatever for the field to change the name to, with the first string being the player's name then the second field being that player's title (or just the coloured text if everything is the same)

to colour the text use the |#########[text here]|r or whatever where the # sequence is the colour code
you can get the colour code right with the colour picker that you can download somewhere on this site, or you can experiment and see if you don't blow people's eyeballs up.

rereading this i kinda got lost :roll: go figure... but anyways use the "change player name" function to change it to [multiple strings] ((player name) + (colourful title))

haha i lost myself on that one too :lol:
but i think that in the last little section i did use the actual function names
well anyways the actual way to do it is:
Player - Set name of (Picked player) to ((Name of (Triggering player)) + |cffffcc00of 1337n355|r)

|cffffcc00[text here]|r changes the colour to the funny yellow that's used for hot[k]eys, [Level #], etc

to do the following
((Name of(triggering player)) + Stuff)
use concentrate strings, which is the first field value for "function"

sure np
oh if it doesn't change the player names to white then try concentrate strings with
(|[white colour code] + ((Name of Triggering Player) + )|r)
i honestly have no idea if that will work but it would be cool if it did
