How i can change the color of a text?

[Kryz]

I recently configured a mod to say a custom text, for example "My (Item) its almost broken", but now I would like to know how I can change the color of the text or make it customizable.

Spoiler

 

local function CheckItemAndSendWarning(item, equipslot)

    local warning_percent = items[equipslot][item.prefab]

    if warning_percent and item.replica.inventoryitem.classified

      and item.replica.inventoryitem.classified.percentused:value() <= warning_percent then

        ThePlayer.components.talker:Say("My "..item.name.." its almost broken!")

    end

end

 

someone could help me?

I looked into the "talker" component real quick and it looks like the talker:Say function has a color parameter. The parameters look like this: (script, time, noanim, force, nobroadcast, colour, text_filter_context, original_author_netid, onfinishedlinesfn, sgparam), "script" being the string that's being said. So your code would look like this:

ThePlayer.components.talker:Say("My "..item.name.." its almost broken!", nil, nil, nil, nil, {0, 0, 0, 1})

Note how the color is a table. All of its values range from 0 to 1 and, in order, they are: red, green, blue, alpha. The first three are pretty self-explanatory if you understand how colors work, the alpha is simply the transparency of it. I recommend leaving that one to 1.

When it comes to RGB (red, green, blue), if you know the color you want to use and know its RGB values, I recommend writing it like this:

{0/255, 0/255, 0/255, 1}

Just replace each 0 with the respective RGB values of your color.
