[CS:GO] Fixing Chat Colors

Kingo · **Author**

Code:

PrintToChatAll("\x01\x0B\x04Colors!");

Output: Colors!

What did we do?
CS:GO will not set chat color unless there is a character after the first color. This means

Code:

PrintToChatAll("\x04Colors!");

Output: Colors!

Code:

PrintToChatAll("\x01\x04Colors!");

Output: Colors!
What we done is set the color of an invisible character then used a color code to change the color of "Colors!"
Without using the invisible character you could use

Code:

PrintToChatAll("\x01*\x04Colors!");

Output: *Colors!

Not sure if you can understand the thread explanation since I can't explain it that well. Basically just start your colors off with "\x01\x0B"

Code:

PrintToChatAll("\x01\x0B\x01 1,\x02 2,\x03 3,\x04 4,\x05 5,\x06 6,\x07 7");

Out of curiosity, does that still apply to the colour codes?

Wow, this has been driving me NUTS. When I finally figured out that the reason the colors don't work is because there needs to be a character at the beginning of the chat string before colors are invoked, I realized I needed to find an "invisible" character, and here it is. Thanks a lot!!
