Yeah, has to do with the hash if I remember correctly. You can find a thread with Lua code posted that has the same result if you look deep enough. |

there's an old thread with a lua function that correctly gets the name color. |

I have the script in case I ever needed it (with the original scripter for credit). I can pm it to you if you want. |

_G.ChatColors = {
BrickColor.new("Bright red"),
BrickColor.new("Bright blue"),
BrickColor.new("Earth green"),
BrickColor.new("Bright violet"),
BrickColor.new("Bright orange"),
BrickColor.new("Bright yellow"),
BrickColor.new("Light reddish violet"),
BrickColor.new("Brick yellow")
}
function _G.GetColor(name)
local value = 0
for index = 1,#name do
local cValue = string.byte(string.sub(name,index,index))
local reverseIndex = #name - index + 1
if #name%2 == 1 then
reverseIndex = reverseIndex - 1
end
if reverseIndex%4 >= 2 then
cValue = -cValue
end
value = value + cValue
end
return _G.ChatColors[value%8 + 1]
end |

I wish we could actually choose the text colours. I think I know why they have done it this way, but I don't really like green. |

Why don't you take the actual code from the actual chat script? You can find it here: github dot com slash RobloxLabs slash internal-code slash blob slash master slash core-scripts slash ChatScript-97188756 dot lua
ChatColors = {
BrickColor.new("Bright red"),
BrickColor.new("Bright blue"),
BrickColor.new("Earth green"),
BrickColor.new("Bright violet"),
BrickColor.new("Bright orange"),
BrickColor.new("Bright yellow"),
BrickColor.new("Light reddish violet"),
BrickColor.new("Brick yellow"),
}
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%8
end
local function ComputeChatColor(pName)
return self.ChatColors[GetNameValue(pName) + 1].Color
end |
