Hey everyone,

I'm using latest AMX Mod X development version and using client_print_color() in my plugin. But there is a problem.

When I use dictionary, I don't know how to specify tags like ^4 or ^1. They aren't working (they just show up like plain text). I even tried !g or !n, but they aren't working too.

How can I specify color tags in client_print_color()

P.S.1: I'm using core client_print_color()
P.S.2: I searched, searched, searched, but didn't get any correct answer. So please don't tell me Search

Thanks.

Could you post the line (client_print_color() call) in which you are printing the message? Also, post the line from dictionary file you are trying to print.

A line should always starts by an color identifier, whatever ^1, ^2, ^3 or ^4. Otherwise color won't work, it's CS behavior.

I don't think that's the case here. He said he was using a dictionary, and I am sure that within the file, "^4" for instance is seen as 2 separate characters, instead of just 1, making it print like normal text. He could fix it by replacing them with "%c" within the dictionary file, and adding color codes (for example '^4') in parameter list, when formating the string.

But I told him to post his code and dictionary, just in case this isn't the actual problem.

No, using ^1, etc. in dictionary file is properly handled by AMXX. Issue is either line doesn't start with a color, or is trying to use color on other mod than CS.

I can't use ^1 or ^4 in start of my line.
Here is a part of my dictionary:

ALREADY_GODMODE = You already have !gGodMode!n!
HAVE_GODMODE = Now, You have !gGodMode Item!n!

Is that recent? I remember seeing people not being able to use colors within the dictionary file. Just curious, sorry for going off-topic.

Why not?

[xEhsaan]

Of course I needed to highlight a certain world in the middle of my sentence

[Arkshine]

^1 for normal color. So you just do: ^1some text, ^4highlighted_word^1 some text.

Thank you Arkshine, solved.
