Hello,

I made some functions to color all player names within a private message. The client name will be display in team colors while all other players will be displayed green.

stock color_player(owner_index, player_index, String: client_message[192]) 
{
	decl String:client_name[192];
	GetClientName(player_index, client_name, 192);

	new find_pos = StrContains(client_message, client_name, true);
	new String:temp_message[192];
	if (find_pos > -1) {
		new name_length = strlen(client_name);
		new message_length = strlen(client_message);
		new offset = 0;
		for(new i = 0; i < message_length; i++) {
			new edit_pos = i + offset;
			if (i == find_pos) {
				if (owner_index == player_index) {
					temp_message[edit_pos]   = 3;
				} else {
					temp_message[edit_pos]   = 4;
				}
				offset++
		  	} else if (i == (find_pos + name_length)) {
				temp_message[edit_pos]   = 1;
				offset++;
			}
			new pos = i + offset;
			temp_message[pos] = client_message[i];
		}
		strcopy(client_message, 192, temp_message);
	}
	
}

stock color_all_players(owner_index, String: message[192]) 
{
	new max_clients = GetMaxClients();
	for(new i = 1; i <= max_clients; i++) {
		new client = i;
		if (IsClientConnected(client)) {
			color_player(owner_index, client, message);
		}
	}
}

To color the playernames you would call the function with:

 color_all_players(client, message);

Remember not(!) to execute this function on every client message to display! We have made a very good trade-off to display this function only if the client player name is affected:

decl String:client_name[192];
GetClientName(player_index, client_name, 192);
if (StrContains(client_message, client_name, true) >= 0) {
	color_all_players(player_index, client_message);
}

Bye

nice work

Might be worth noting that it is CS:S specific.

This doesn't work because, color_all_players has only 2 parms and since you check if the message contains the name, there is no away someone could add the name to color_all_players unless if you think everyone is going to use a format message or add a parm to your function other than that good tut.
