Help with gradient chat color

[vivid stump]

im using colorutils and want to setup this function to activate the gradient when clicked upon

    return gradient({_text}, ("FB0808", "FF9B00"))

newer to sk

ive read all the colorutils docs nothin

command exclusivecolors [<text>]:
    aliases: ecc
    permission: ecc.use
    trigger:
        if arg 1 is "blaze":
            if player has permission "iceycc":
                set %{color.%player%}% to "<gradient:489BE4:94D6EB>%message%</gradient>"
            else:
                send "&c(!) &7You Do not have permission to execute this command!" to player
        if arg 1 is not set:
            open chest with 5 rows named "<##FF00AA>     Exclusive Chat-Colors" to player
            wait 1 tick
            format slot 10 of player with 1 pink wool named "&drainbow test" with lore "RAINBOW BABY" to close then run [execute player command "ecc blaze"]

theres my code aside from colorutils

its the <gradent> stuff

idk what to put there

messageformat: %player's displayname%&7 ⮕ %{color.%player%}%%message%

[real pewter]

use :: instead of . in variables, makes them lists

whats going on with this code?

[vivid stump]

i want to make a gradient chatcolor

i cant find any docs oin it

im using the colorutils skript thing

[real pewter]

you cant use the message expression outside of a chat event

and that last line looks suspiciously like tuske syntax

[nimble hatch]

Bros about to tweak on him for Tuske usage lol

Suspiciously like TUSKE syntax 😜

[vivid stump]

So how could I translate that to a on chat event?

[vivid stump]

Not sure what that means tbh

[nimble hatch]

TuSKe is an outdated addon which is not recommended

[vivid stump]

I’m not using it

[real pewter]

then is the last line skquery?

[nimble hatch]

that cant be skript or skbee syntax

[vivid stump]

Idk but it’s what I used for my other Charcot script

Chatcolor

And it works

I just don’t know how to sup the function to run when clicked on in a gui to make the chatcolor a gradient

[real pewter]

"sup"

set-up??

just set a variable/nbt/whatever to the players chatcolour

then use that in the chat event

[vivid stump]

Imma be honest I have no idea how to do that

Like ‘’’’on chat:
Set %{color.%player%}% to Gradientblaze(text:text) text :: text

Or wtvr

Yeah set up

[real pewter]

just set a variable to their gradient

then set the chat format to %{}%...</gradient>

[vivid stump]

Can I set it to the variable

The custom gradient variable

[vivid stump]

^

function*

[real pewter]

yeah, if everyone has the same gradient

[vivid stump]

Well I want to set it up to where you need a certain permission to do it

How would I set up the variable for the message format thing

[real pewter]

you can check if they have the permission then use the function if you want

[vivid stump]

on chat:
    if player has permission "blazecc":
        if {color::blaze} is true:
            set chat format to %player's displayname%&7 ⮕ function GradientBlaze(text:text) :: text:
    return gradient({_text}, ("FB0808", "FF9B00"))%message%

something like this?

i just started using functions

[real pewter]

why the heck do you have a return there?

heck, I would just set message to func(message)

[vivid stump]

on chat:
    if player has permission "blazecc":
        if {color::blaze} is true:
            set chat format to %player's displayname%&7 ⮕ function GradientBlaze(message)

legit just that?

[real pewter]

no

1. no function keyword when calling
2. the chat format has to be set to a string
3. set the message, that way it doesnt affect the whole format and you can use whatever your default one is

on chat:
    if player has permission "blazecc":
        if {color::blaze} is true:
            set message format to %player's displayname%&7 ⮕ GradientBlaze(message)

[vivid stump]

bro has his own syntax page 💀

im using colorutils btw

[real pewter]

does your line look like this?

[vivid stump]

is this not that?

[vivid stump]

yeah?

so you can see their prefix and the arrow instead of the :

[real pewter]

okay, but that should happen regardless of whether the message is a gradient or not

[real pewter]

my 3rd point here

[vivid stump]

so just get rid of it in the entirety

[real pewter]

you set the chat format for all messages, then only add the gradient (to only the message) if they have the permission

[vivid stump]

OOOOOHHH

okay hold on

set message to GradientBlaze(message)

function GradientBlaze(text:text) :: text:
    return gradient({_text}, ("FB0808", "FF9B00"))

so my function works alongside it?

[devout jackal]

you could use Skbee for this

[vivid stump]

wym

[real pewter]

skbee text components

[devout jackal]

yea

[vivid stump]

still dont know

[devout jackal]

kind of like this

[real pewter]

[vivid stump]

so do you want me to clear all my functions and colorutils?

and try this

[devout jackal]

you can if you want

[vivid stump]

it seems way more simple so ill tyry

[vivid stump]

so what is this?

it wont do anything to the message format

[devout jackal]

thats just a idea of it

but it should work

[vivid stump]

would i set the message or the message format then?

[devout jackal]

not really sure

[vivid stump]

set {color.%player%} to <rainbow>

I want this to work with my option of my message format

messageformat: %player's displayname%&7 ⮕ %{color.%player%}%%message%

i used your example as a base

set {color.%player%} to mini message from "<rainbow>"

also doesnt work

[devout jackal]

yea im not sure how to help you

[vivid stump]

you know anything?

[real pewter]

I would just if has permission: set message to "<gradient>%message%<reset>"

[vivid stump]

what do i replace the <gradient> with?

[real pewter]

search for 'gradien' in this server

you'll see people using it

[vivid stump]

um alr

im so lost

thers lilke 1

and its so subtle

on chat:
    if player has permission "gradient.use":
        set {_chatcolor} to "<gradient:#F30A0A:#0A2AF3>"
        set {_m} to mini message from "<%player%>{_ChatColor}%%{_msg}%"
        broadcast "----------"
        send component {_m} to all players
        broadcast "----------"
~```
ts all i got out of i

wel i gotta go to bed

lmk if you findd a solution

[real pewter]

where did you set {_msg}?

[vivid stump]

on async chat:
    if player has permission "op":
        set {_ChatColor} to "<gradient:#F30A0A:#0A2AF3>"
        set {_m::1} to text component from formatted "&f<%player%> %{_ChatColor}%"
        set {_m::2} to async chat message
        set {_m} to merge components {_m::*}
        set {_msg} to text component from formatted "%player's displayname%&7 ⮕ %message%"
        set {_m} to mini message from "<%player%>{_ChatColor}%%{_msg}%"
        broadcast "----------"
        send component {_m} to all players
        broadcast "----------"

im so lost bro

i looked at other players things and there was basically nothing

[real pewter]

figure out the default chat first, ie

  set the chat format to "%player% > %message%"```

Then, you can just modify the `message` expression beforehand (apply the gradient):
```on chat:
  if player has perm....:
    set message to "<gradient:x:y>%message%<reset>"
  set the chat format to "%player% > %message%"```

[vivid stump]

what does that last line do?

[nimble hatch]

What does player > message

What is that? Xight

[real pewter]

thats setting the chat format

so it would look like Steve > Hello

[nimble hatch]

Oh ok

Ty

[vivid stump]

on chat:
    if {color.%player%} is set:
        set message format to "{@messageformat}"

i already have that in my code earlier up

is chat format just message format?

<gradient:x:y>

is this just

from birdflop

just that now

on chat:
    if player has permission "op":
        set message to "<gradient:#9DFF00:#FF3B00%message%<reset>"
        set the chat format to "{@messageformat}"

the @messageformat is not affecting it btw

Xight do i need to set that as {_msg}?

[real pewter]

set message to formatted ...

[vivid stump]

stil

on chat:
    if player has permission "op":
        set message to formatted "<gradient:#9DFF00:#FF3B00>%message%<reset>"
        set the chat format to "{@messageformat}"

on chat:
    if player has permission "op":
        set message to formatted "<gradient:#9DFF00:#FF3B00>%message%<reset>"
        set the chat format to "%player's displayname%&7 ⮕ %message%"

even if i override the color.player it wont work

[real pewter]

try minimessage then

[vivid stump]

so like

set message to formatted mini message "<gradient:#9DFF00:#FF3B00>%message%<reset>"

?

js doesnt work

I FINALLY GOT IT

ty for not spoonfeeding

how tf do i mark is as solved?

on chat:
    if player has permission "op":
        set message to mini message from "<gradient:#9DFF00:#FF3B00>%message%<reset>"
        set the chat format to "%player's displayname%&7 ⮕ %message%"

works
