Custom Chat Colors

[Exile]

Does this work or?

Someone should really remake this so it works!

I have something similar in some chat tags I made for my gamemode, if anyone wants it I will post the code here.

You mean chat tags, that you can color?

No a thing where you can set the color of your text by doing `color` text, the chat tags part wasn't relevent

Oh, so if I wanted to change me color to yellow, i would just type color, something like that? If it is like that, It would be great if you would share it with us.

So basically the player types for example "color red" and it changes their chat color to red?

`red` text -> text
`255 0 0` text -> text

For my server I use hat chat, and it has a built in tag system, do you think the script would work if I removed the local groups area in the script?

Probably not but you can try it.

Chat Color resets after a map change. Is there a way to make it a player's permanent color until they or someone else changes it?
