Get Player Color

Is there anyway to retrieve a particular player's color from the trigger editor?

I'm making a multiboard that tracks player stats and I would like to be able to color each player's name with the appropraite color. But the multiboard set color function only takes RGB. Do I need a secondary array?

If there is no function to retrieve the colors, does anyone know the RGB values for all of the player colors?

Ah several answers to ur questions.


Yes there is a function that will return player color. Then what I did was use an array of strings that had the RGB values stored using the special text |cff followed by for example ff0000 for red. There are tons of examples on this site for more on that.

So at init i create another variable called playercolorname which is just that the players name preceded by the correct color index for the color that they are. Its a pain but it works.

Hope that helps!


Oh and FYI dont bother with RGB just use the string version above.

Hey, that's pretty clever. Thanks!

Sorry. I understand what you are saying, but I can't find any function in the world editor that will return a player's color. What data type does this function return the color as?

I'm *this* close to just taking a screenshot from the game, opening it up in PaintShop and converting the colors to hex by hand.
