This is something I gave up on because I don't have the time but for those wanting to know how it could be done, here it is.
To make a rainbow HUD message (assuming you know how to do HUD syncs and work HUD msg's) you will need to setup a synchronized hud msg and redraw it with a new color each time. For the color, we are going to rotate around this cone to get the rainbow effect
Using the Hue value which is measured in degrees. To travel along the outer edge, set saturation and value to 1.0 (100%). You will have to keep a static Float value for hue and increment it, say by 3.0, each time. To get your r,g,b values, we are going to call on this function
Code:
//Used for color cycling the HSV model
//Code adapted from http://www.buena.com/articles.shtml, "Adventures in HSV Space"
//saturation: 0 is dull gray, 1 is full color, value: 0.0 is dark, 1.0 is full luminance
HSVtoRGB(&Float:h, Float:s, Float:v, &Float:r, &Float:g, &Float:b){
if(h > 360.0) h -= 360.0
else if(h < 0.0) h += 360.0
if (s == 0) {
r = v; g = v; b = v;
} else {
new Float:fHue, Float:fValue, Float:fSaturation;
new i; new Float:f; new Float:p,Float:q,Float:t;
if (h == 360.0) h = 0.0;
fHue = h / 60.0;
i = floatround(fHue,floatround_floor);
f = fHue - i;
fValue = v;
fSaturation = s;
p = fValue * (1.0 - fSaturation);
q = fValue * (1.0 - (fSaturation * f));
t = fValue * (1.0 - (fSaturation * (1.0 - f)));
switch (i) {
case 0: {r = fValue; g = t; b = p;}
case 1: {r = q; g = fValue; b = p; }
case 2: {r = p; g = fValue; b = t;}
case 3: {r = p; g = q; b = fValue;}
case 4: {r = t; g = p; b = fValue;}
case 5: {r = fValue; g = p; b = q; }
}
}
}
This will also make sure your hue value doesn't get out of range, so don't worry about infinitely incrementing your hue value.
The r,g,b values passed back by this function are in the range of 0.0 to 1.0, so do this to them
floatround(r*255.0)
to get them normalized. Then call this on every clock tick you define
set_hudmessage(floatround(r*255.0),floatround (g*255.0),floatround(b*255.0),xpos,ypos,0)
then show it.
Buena suerte~
