Print text with multiple colors?!

Hello!

How can I print a line of text with multiple colors in it? Just like the ingame chat were the name is red or blue and the text is yellow.

To clarify my question.

Code:

client_print(0,print_chat,"blue green yellow")

Is it possible to get the words show up in their "own" colors?

Thanx!

very hard but yes, but up to 4 colours (hl limitation)
and then no other messages would be displayed or any new message that would show uo would remove on eof the coloured messages

Okay so it's not possible to write a "say-substitute"-plugin?

I've written a plugin that I use from my webpage (rcon) so the vistors can chat into the game. It works great except that I dont want the text to be all yellow.

My plugin looks like this:

Code:

#include <amxmod>

#include <amxmisc>



public websay(id,level,cid) {



        if(!cmd_access(id,level,cid,1)){

                 return PLUGIN_HANDLED

        }



        if(read_argc()<3)

                return PLUGIN_HANDLED



        new name[32]

        new message[192]

        

        read_argv(1,name,31)

        read_args(message,191)



        remove_quotes(message)



        client_print(0,print_chat,"(www) %s : %s", name, message[strlen(name)+2])



        return PLUGIN_HANDLED

}



public plugin_init() {

register_plugin("websay","0.1","MaS")

register_clcmd("amx_websay","websay",ADMIN_VOTE," : chat from console")

register_concmd("amx_websay","websay",ADMIN_VOTE," : chat from console")



}

It would be nice if it's possible to change the colors (ony 2 needed just like in normal chat), but if it's to much of a hassle I just drop it.. :)

thanx!

Can I make a hudmessage look just like the client print text? (font etc etc..)

And even if I can, the hudmessage wont be included in the "chat scroller" right?

Nah.. think I'll have to live with the all yellow stuff, hopefully you guys will rewrite the client_print to include a color-argument :wink:

As far as I can remember I think the colours are mod-specific, that is there's only red and blue colours in CS cause CS specified these. You could send chat messages using these colours of course(I think, don't think I ever did myself), but you can't use any other colours that aren't valid with the mod itself.

I noticed a strange bug in CS 1.5... when a user played with "A" as nickname (without the quotes) it would show green in the hud. The same thing happened with "*" and a strange combination like |)./\.\/.|.|) or something like that..
