Color variables

[Switch]

How to create color variable and then use it? In sourcemod
I will make xsay plugin with "ShowSyncHudText" for CS:GO, but i dont know how to create color variales and then use it with prefix "@". Example: sm_xsay @blue [text]

my sm_xsay.sp: https://pastebin.com/6EtpXnQg

Help pls

You should use this format and get the arguments inputted into the command.

public Action Command_XSay(int client, int args)
{
    if (args < 1)
    {
        ReplyToCommand(client, "[SM] Usage: sm_xsay <@colour> <message>");
        return Plugin_Handled;
    }

    char color_name[32]; // Get the colour name in the first argument
    GetCmdArg(1, color_name, sizeof(color_name));

    char display_text[128]; // Get the text in the second argument
    GetCmdArg(2, display_text, sizeof(display_text));
}

Then use a string function[sm.alliedmods.net] like StrEqual() or StrContains() to check the value of the colour string and setup the colour in SetHudTextParams[sm.alliedmods.net]

Don't try to overcomplicate this plugin. Keep it simple if you're new to sourcepawn.

#define COLOR_COUNT 13

char g_ColorNames[13][10] = {"White", "Red", "Green", "Blue", "Yellow", "Purple", "Cyan", "Orange", "Pink", "Olive", "Lime", "Violet", "Lightblue"};

int g_Colors[13][3] = {{255,255,255},{255,0,0},{0,255,0},{0,0,255},{255,255,0},{255,0,255},{0,255,255},{255,128,0},{255,0,128},{128,255,0},{0,255,128},{128,0,255},{0,128,255}};

public Action Command_XSay(int client, int args)
{
   char color_name[32]; // Get the colour name in the first argument
   GetCmdArg(1, color_name, sizeof(color_name));

   // Default to color white, if no color is found
   int displayColor[3] = { 255, 255, 255 };

   // Loop through all the colors and see if the color_name argument matches
   for (int color = 0; color < COLOR_COUNT; color++)
   {
      if (StrEqual(color_name, g_ColorNames[color], false))
      {
         displayColor = g_Colors[color];
         break; // exit loop if color is found
      }
   }
   
    // Set up the hud text and use the default or user inputed color
   SetHudTextParams(-1.0, 0.2, 5.0, displayColor[0], displayColor[1], displayColor[2], 255, 2, 0.5, 0.02, 0.3);

This line here is incorrect.

ShowSyncHudText(i, g_hSynchronizer, sBuffer);

You need to get the text from the cmd arg 2 and put it where sBuffer is. The following function works like this (but with different names). ShowSyncHudText(client, synchronizer, text).
https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/halflife/ShowHudText

I gave you this example in my first post.

char display_text[128]; // Get the text in the second argument
GetCmdArg(2, display_text, sizeof(display_text));

ohh.. my brain is broken o_o
