[LUA] Getting chat line full colours

[KamikazeSripterul]

Hello people, what I am trying to do is get a literal copy of a line in the chat and it's not working. What I mean by "it's not working" is that it doesn't get all the colour. Let's say you have multiple colours from the server in one chat line, the line will not get copied accordingly. An example can be seen below:

The first line is the original server line and the second line is what I tried to copy.
I tried using text, prefix, color, pcolor = sampGetChatString(99) but I also tried using the function onReceiveRpc(id, bs). Neither of those worked. What should I do?

 

[Tuzas]

use samp events function OnServerMessage

 

[KamikazeSripterul]

use samp events function OnServerMessage

That still doesn't work. This is what I did:

local events = require("lib.samp.events")
function events.onServerMessage(color, text)
sampAddChatMessage(text, -1)
end

I even tried instead of -1 to put color but it shows pink

@Tuzas Any other suggestions you may have?

Well thank you for the effort but that's not what I asked. I know how to get the color but the rest of the string color doesn't get copied.

Each chat text can have different colours from one word to another.

Text colour format is:
{00FF00}
This kind formats you will find when you going to get chat string using memory reading or in chatlog.txt etc..

If you looking a way to get these colours formats from chat someone can help you.

Also don't forget check prefix colour which is usually colour of sender or first text part.
