game.print // player.print addition to add color

[riot2212]

If there is a way to do this, I apologize, I could not find a way to do this so I am requesting this

Basically the ability to set a color on game.print & player.print for example

Code: Select all

player.print("some random message to the player with the color red", {r=1, g=0, b=0, a=1})

if a color is not presented like

Code: Select all

player.print("some random message to the player with the default color")

then it would be the basic white.



just a thought. since the /color command shows the reply message colored. it would be nice if we could do the same with our scripts

You could not find a way to do this? Yet the code you post there is exactly how it's done. O_o
