How to get players chat color?

[jahoobas]

Hello!

1. What do you want to achieve? I’m trying to make a custom player list, similar to that of the 2006-2010 player list on Roblox.

2. What is the issue? I don’t know how to get the players chat color, which the older versions of Roblox used in the player list.

3. What solutions have you tried so far? I’ve tried my hand at this a couple weeks ago, but I couldn’t seem to figure out what to do, nor what the problem was.

Thank you!

I believe this was the method used to get player chat colors:

local Colors = {
 	Color3.new(253/255, 41/255, 67/255),
    Color3.new(1/255, 162/255, 255/255),
    Color3.new(2/255, 184/255, 87/255),
 	BrickColor.new("Bright violet").Color,
 	BrickColor.new("Bright orange").Color,
 	BrickColor.new("Bright yellow").Color,
 	BrickColor.new("Light reddish violet").Color,
 	BrickColor.new("Bright yellow").Color,
}

local function GetNameValue(pName: string): number
    local value = 0
    for index = 1, #pName do
      local cValue = string.byte(string.sub(pName, index, index))
      local reverseIndex = #pName - index + 1
      if #pName % 2 == 1 then
        reverseIndex = reverseIndex - 1
      end
      if reverseIndex % 4 >= 2 then
        cValue = -cValue
      end
      value = value + cValue
    end
    return value
end

local function GetChatColor(name: string): Color3
    return Colors[(GetNameValue(name) % #Colors) + 1]
end

print(GetChatColor("HugeCoolboy2007"))
