Colored nametags?

[Mossy]

Hey all. I searched the first page to see if someone else asked this but I didn't find anything. Anyways, I'm trying to get the players' HEX colors to work in their nametags.

--Draw our text 
                    local r,g,b = 255,255,255 
                    local offset = (scale) * NAMETAG_TEXT_BAR_SPACE/2 
                    dxDrawText ( getPlayerName(player), sx, sy - offset, sx, sy - offset, tocolor(255,255,255,textalpha), textscale*NAMETAG_TEXTSIZE, "bankgothic", "center", "bottom", false, false, true, true ) 

This part of the script isn't working. It changes the font to bankgothic but it still shows white for people with HEX colors in their names. Any help? Thanks.

hmmm, it should work, because everything looks perfect...

Maybe it's the HEX name, try outputting the player's name before drawing it.

I have tried that but the output was still white names. If you want I can send more of the script.

For me, it doesn't show the name... I think it's a bug...

Here's what I got:

addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,function() 
    dxDrawText ( "#008000 HI", 0, 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, "default", "left", "top", false, false, false, true, false) 
    dxDrawText ( "#008000 HI", 0, 20, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, "default", "left", "top", false, false, true, true, false) 
    dxDrawText ( getPlayerName(localPlayer), 100, 100, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, "bankgothic", "center", "bottom", false, false, true, true, false) 
end) 

My name: #008000Jaysds1

EDIT1: After changing "bottom" to "top", it started showing, and it still shows white

EDIT2: It ended up changing colors...

Code:

addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,function() 
    dxDrawText ( "#008000 HI", 0, 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, "default", "left", "top", false, false, false, true, false) 
    dxDrawText ( "#008000 HI", 0, 20, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, "default", "left", "top", false, false, true, true, false) 
    dxDrawText ( getPlayerName(localPlayer), 0, 40, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, "default", "center", "top", false, false, true, true, false) 
    dxDrawText ( getPlayerName(localPlayer), 0, 60, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, "bankgothic", "left", "top", false, false, true, true, false) 
    dxDrawText ( getPlayerName(localPlayer), 0, 80, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, true, true, false) 
end)

Are you using this in the race script?

Cause then you have to use "_getPlayerName(player)".

The getPlayerName function get's changed to "remove the color codes"
