I'm trying to change chat colour, by a defined admin flag. This works, bu the problem I'm having is I can only change the colour of the whole message, name included.

What I'm trying to achieve is keep the player's name in team colours, and only change the colour of the message the player typed. Putting the Team colour codebefore the player name don't seem to be working.

Anyone shed any light?

PHP Code:

SayText2(client, const String:message[]) {
    new Handle:buffer = StartMessageAll("SayText2");
    if(buffer!=INVALID_HANDLE) {
        BfWriteByte(buffer, client);
        BfWriteByte(buffer, true);
        BfWriteString(buffer, message);
        EndMessage();
    }
}
decl String:buffer[256];
Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "\x01white \x03team \x04green");
SayText2(client, buffer); // If client is on the red team, the colour in chat will be red

Thanks. I've been playing with SayText2, but the problem I'm getting is that the player name shows up red in chat to the red team, but blue in chat to the blue team, regardless of what team (or spec) the player who is chatting is on.

Is it possible to lock the player name's colour in chat to the team the player is on? So if someone on the blue team types something, both blue and red players see the players name in chat coloured blue

Use the client parameter of SayText2 as the person speaking. ShowText2 prints to everyone.

So SayText2 won't work for team (ie '(TEAM) Name : message') chat then?

    new Handle:buffer = StartMessageOne("SayText2", client);
    if (buffer != INVALID_HANDLE) {
        BfWriteByte(buffer, author);
        BfWriteByte(buffer, true);
        BfWriteString(buffer, message);
        EndMessage();
