Having trouble with richtext inside script

Try removing the tag and /tag completely? Does that affect anything?

same thing

WooleyWool · October 4, 2020, 10:22pm

hmmm try this code:

local textVar = "<font color = rgb(0, 0, 255)>".. Char.Name .."</font>".. "Has" ..killMessage[math.random(1, #killMessage)].. EnemyChar.Name

n_cy · October 4, 2020, 10:26pm

its not working, this is so frustrating

WooleyWool · October 4, 2020, 10:27pm

Are there any errors? What does it show?

n_cy · October 4, 2020, 10:28pm

no errors i don’t get this

WooleyWool · October 4, 2020, 10:30pm

Can I see what the text looks like in the UI

n_cy · October 4, 2020, 10:33pm

i got bold to work

I think the problem was using a variable for text

WooleyWool · October 4, 2020, 10:35pm

Set your Textlabel.text equal to the code

n_cy · October 4, 2020, 10:36pm

I got bold to work but color isn’t working

HugeCoolboy2007 · October 4, 2020, 10:36pm

try this for color

local textVar = "<font color=\"rgb(0,0,255)\">".. Char.Name .."</font>".. "Has" ..killMessage[math.random(1, #killMessage)].. EnemyChar.Name

WooleyWool · October 4, 2020, 10:37pm

Try using your original code and see if it works.

n_cy · October 4, 2020, 10:39pm

I checked the textlabel and its empty

WooleyWool · October 4, 2020, 10:40pm

Did you set your original code equal to the textlabel.text?

n_cy · October 4, 2020, 10:42pm

no I changed it up a bit

this is what I have right now

local textVar = "<tag><font color = rgb(255, 0, 0)>"..Char.Name.."</font>".." ".."Has".." "..killMessage[math.random(1, #killMessage)].." "..EnemyChar.Name.."</tag>"
TextLabel.Text = "<font color = rgb(255, 0, 0)>".."this is starting to really suck".."</font>"

im not using the variable anymore just using a string

WooleyWool · October 4, 2020, 10:42pm

Try adding the tags back. It may be just your variable.

n_cy · October 4, 2020, 10:45pm

not working:

HugeCoolboy2007 · October 4, 2020, 10:46pm

The official post has the documentation

WooleyWool · October 4, 2020, 10:49pm

try this:

TextLabel.Text = <tag><font color = rgb(255, 0, 0)>"this is starting to really suck"</font></tag>

or this

TextLabel.Text = <tag><font color = rgb(255, 0, 0)>this is starting to really suck</font></tag>

HugeCoolboy2007 · October 4, 2020, 10:52pm

TextLabel.Text = "<font color=\"rgb(255,0,0)\">this is starting to really suck</font>"

like HTML
