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.
- Kixer

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*

Updated once and for all by Bribe for much better performance.

 

[Thunder_eye]

The color codes are not exactly correct.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Damn you... Damn you!! Damn you so much...

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.

But your's is good. +rep

 

[Kixer]

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

 

[Kixer]

*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.

 

[Thunder_eye]

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

 

[DragoonZombie]

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

The upper ones are the custom text messages.

[Kixer]

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

 

[PurgeandFire]

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

 

[PurplePoot]

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~

 

[Kixer]

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...

 

[HappyTauren]

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"

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

 

[Kixer]

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

 

[HappyTauren]

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

 

[Kixer]

Yes I know,
but none the less, this is a simple function and there is no need to use vJASS...
*Thread updates*
Could a mod rename this thread "Player Colour Code Funtions" or something of the like...

 

[PurplePoot]

Done&Done.

I'd suggest attaching everyone's functions with the proper credits to the first post, since they're all good in some way or another.

 

[Thunder_eye]

I'm pretty sure they aren't.

 

[HappyTauren]

Really? Thunder_eye, PROVE IT THEN!!! I have got them from JassShopPro, whos creator is no fool. -.-

 

[Thunder_eye]

Really? Thunder_eye, PROVE IT THEN!!! I have got them from JassShopPro, whos creator is no fool. -.-

I got them from the war3.mpq file, and yours certainly aren't the right colors, probably just guessings.

 

[HappyTauren]

post them here

 

[Thunder_eye]

I don't have time to look them all up, but the ones I've checked so far are exactly the same as the ones in this thread, so I'd assume he's done the same:

http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showpost.php?p=596801&postcount=5

 

[PurplePoot]

EDIT: Thread cleaned (it was basically all just discussion about random things, half of them mostly unrelated)

 

[MapperMalte]

HappyTaurens Colors are right.
The orhers are not.
I know it, because I opened a blizzard map.

@ Thunder Eye;
The Colors of Mr. Safety are just wrong.
Open a scenario Blizzard map.
Like Worm War.
You will find all Color Codes there, like in Embasic.

 

[SerraAvenger]

Hum... Playercolors don't need to be nulled - they are permanent, just like players.
Using variables doesn't require vJASS, you can always just use the normal trigger initialisation. It won't be as easy to import into a map then, but heck - just who cares^^ Also you could do a 'declare on demand' approach, just declaring color codes when they are used for the first time. Is slower than the other approach, but does not require an init function.

Also, happytauren, your system (just like previously mine) will return the wrong color codes in a map where you can choose your player color in the lobby (some maps allow that). Look into my utilities library to see how you can fix that, if you want. Or just use my utilities library - you don't need the function calls there.
Just use PlayerName[ i ] and PlayerColor[ i ] for colored strings.
I don't know wether I'm using the absolutely correct color strings, though. I think I use the ones from JassShopPro, too.
And yes, I know JassHelper inlines the function calls. But I don't like function calls, anyway. I think a good array is much more beautiful.

Best regards, Davey

[Mooglefrooglian]

An interesting take EoW, but I have made some maps where I set the player colors all to the same thing (for something like a whos the killer map).

I might use it though. Thanks.

Also, cJass isnt allowed to be submitted. This makes me sadface.

 

[Anachron]

Why not just using ARGB? :S

 

[Element of Water]

Because I've never heard of it?

[Element of Water]

Ok, this thread is officially useless.

 

[Anachron]

So this should be graveyarded.

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

It contains valuable color code functions. Someone should just delete all of our off topicness.

 

[Element of Water]

No, ARGB contains valuable colour code functions.

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

Yes, so it should not be deleted. Our saying "What's ARGB? Never heard of it?" should be though.

 

[Bribe]

Sensible update to make better use out of this.

 

[AGD]

The resource is outdated. You can get a player's color as string using TriggerHappy's PlayerUtils using User(index).hex. Moving to Graveyard.
