client_print_color | It does not work properly

I'm using it this way, but the color is not changed.

PHP Code:


		
			
new prefixchat[20]

PHP Code:


		
			
myvar = create_cvar("my_prefix", "^4[PREFIX]")

Pulling:

PHP Code:


		
			
get_pcvar_string(myvar, prefixchat, charsmax(prefixchat))

client_print_color(0, print_team_default, "%s", prefixchat)

If I change the color inside the game does not work.

Except if I use this stock

PHP Code:


		
			
stock xClientPrintColor(const id, const input[], any:...)

{

    new count = 1, players[32]

    static msg[191]

    vformat(msg, 190, input, 3)

    

    replace_all(msg, 190, "!g", "^4")

    replace_all(msg, 190, "!y", "^1")

    replace_all(msg, 190, "!t", "^3")

    replace_all(msg, 190, "!t2", "^0")

    

    if (id) players[0] = id; else get_players(players, count, "ch")



    for (new i = 0; i < count; i++)

    {

        if (is_user_connected(players[i]))

        {

            message_begin(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, get_user_msgid("SayText"), _, players[i])

            write_byte(players[i])

            write_string(msg)

            message_end()

        }

    }

}

Instead of: ^1 ^2 ^3 etc
Use: !g !t !y

Re: client_print_color | It does not work properly

^ is a control character, it's not a literal "^4" but an ASCII character with byte code of 4.
It would be pretty inconvenient for the user to write  into a CVAR.

PHP Code:


		
			
#pragma ctrlchar '\' // Changes escape character

You need to escape the escape character.

"^^"

How do I make the color prefix work by using: client_print_color?

The same way as the stock you've used.
Replace "^^4" with "^4" in prefixchat. That way you can write "^4" in the CVAR and it will be treated as the special character.

Or keep it out of the cvar, that is if you always want that color and only want to change the text of the prefix.

PHP Code:


		
			
myvar = create_cvar("my_prefix", "[PREFIX]")

PHP Code:


		
			
get_pcvar_string(myvar, prefixchat, charsmax(prefixchat))

client_print_color(0, print_team_default, "^4%s", prefixchat)
