Ive been wanting to get a players’ chat color.
I cant find anything that works on the topic.
Ive searched high and low and couldnt find a woking solution.
My game has cross server chat and i was wanting to have the players in different servers to have their chat color, rather than white. Any help is appreciated!
You can use this plugin to customize your chat. You can change the color, font, size, anything.

That plugin throws an error, and it doesnt help me get the players chat color.
Referencing the chat scripts, the player’s chat colour is calculated based on the characters of their name:
Chat.ChatModules.ExtraDataInitializer: Lines 86-117
local NAME_COLORS =
{
Color3.new(253/255, 41/255, 67/255), -- BrickColor.new("Bright red").Color,
Color3.new(1/255, 162/255, 255/255), -- BrickColor.new("Bright blue").Color,
Color3.new(2/255, 184/255, 87/255), -- BrickColor.new("Earth green").Color,
BrickColor.new("Bright violet").Color,
BrickColor.new("Bright orange").Color,
BrickColor.new("Bright yellow").Color,
BrickColor.new("Light reddish violet").Color,
BrickColor.new("Brick yellow").Color,
}
local function GetNameValue(pName)
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 color_offset = 0
local function ComputeNameColor(pName)
return NAME_COLORS[((GetNameValue(pName) + color_offset) % #NAME_COLORS) + 1]
end
You can use the ComputeNameColor function
That worked, but how would i put it into a value? I just tried that and it didnt work.
As in, an intvalue? You can use a Color3Value
Okay, thank you for your help.
