Colored ranks
« on: July 10, 2014, 05:45:26 PM »
I was wondering how I would go about giving different groups colored names in the scoreboard and chat? (btw this is deathrun gamemode) I would look for a function in gmod, but the gmod wiki is a bit... weird. I know there is a Player.SetWalkSpeed function, but I can't find it anywhere in the list of functions on the wiki.

Any and all help appreciated!

The documentation for TTT is listed on ttt.badking.net.

For colored playernames, you'd specifically go to: http://ttt.badking.net/guides/hooks and take a look at TTTScoreboardColorForPlayer.

Okay, I guess I wasn't clear. I was just mentioning TTT, idk why. I need to know how to do colored ranks in other gamemodes.

Right now I'm still wondering why I even mentioned TTT... I'm stupid sometimes.

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Even though I'm not as good when it comes to VGUI, I'll try to help out anyways.
For adding your own columns for score, ranks etc., I believe you would look into DLabel. Take a look at cl_scoreboard.lua.

Command: team.Setup(ID,Name,Color(R,G,B,A))
Example: team.SetUp(1,'Red',Color(255,0,0,255))

Basically, that would make the team color red. Now for the scoreboard, you would just set the color in from team.GetColor(TEAM_ID)


May I ask what deathmatch gamemode, the only deathmatch gamemode on garry's mod that I know of, is my gamemode?
