Chat RGB Command Help

#1

I’m currently attempting to make an RGB command in chat that sets the text color to the second, third, and fourth argument in the chat.

Command example:
:setcolor 255, 255, 255

I made this command successfully, but if I put in an RGB color code, it sets it to a whole different color.

My code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
		local SplitMessage = Message:split(" ")
		if SplitMessage[1] == ":setcolor" then
			local FirstArgument = SplitMessage[2]
			local SecondArgument = SplitMessage[3]
			local ThirdArgument = SplitMessage[4]
			Player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("Rank").Frame.Player.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(tonumber(FirstArgument), tonumber(SecondArgument), tonumber(ThirdArgument))
			Player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("Rank").Frame.Rank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(tonumber(FirstArgument), tonumber(SecondArgument), tonumber(ThirdArgument))
		end
	end)
end)

Can you please explain further? You’re saying that the color you’re getting is completly wrong?

That may be happening because you’re putting a comma in the command, which would break the RGB color. It would be basically doing this:

Color3.fromRGB(255,,255,,255)

To fix that try not using comma in your command: :setcolor 255 255 255

Yep, that worked. I completely forgot that it would double the commas! Thanks for the help :smile:

Not exactly, it’s not creating extra arguments. With the command set up, :setcolor 255, 255, 255 would return the three argument as strings. The issue lies with the tonumber methods - since each one would be receiving a string as num, it wouldn’t be considered a number due to the extra comma, thus when given to tonumber it will return nil.

local Number = tonumber("255,")
print(Number) -- nil

In the case of the OP’s code, this is what was happening when he chatted “:setcolor 255, 255, 255”:

Frame.Player.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(nil, nil, nil)
Frame.Rank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(nil, nil, nil)

To prevent such a case from happening in the future, he could use gsub to remove the commas.

local Message = ":setcolor 255, 255, 255"
local SplitMessage = Message:gsub(",", ""):split(" ")
print(table.concat(SplitMessage, ">")) -- :setcolor>255>255>255

I hope this helped. :slight_smile:
