Quote

//i want custom grp id in teamswitchmenu
 
_customgrpid = "customized grpid";

//George Floros GR solution
_Symbol = "b_inf";   
 
clearGroupIcons (group player);   
setGroupIconsVisible [ true, true ];
group player addGroupIcon [_Symbol, [0,0.5]];   
_Display_Text = format["%1 [%2]", _customgrpid, getText(configFile>>"CfgVehicles">>typeOf vehicle player>>"DisplayName")];
group player setGroupiconParams [ side player call BIS_fnc_sideColor,_Display_Text,1,true ];
 
 
//Pierre MGI solution
 
fnc_teamSwitch = {
  disableSerialization;
  _ctrlDispl = _this;
  private _idc = ctrlIDC (_ctrlDispl select 0);
  private _selectedIndex = _ctrlDispl param [1];
  _displ = findDisplay 632;
  _ctrl101 = _displ displayCtrl 101;
  _cnt = (lbsize 101) -1;
  for "_i" from 0 to _cnt do {
    _selectedUnit = switchableUnits param [_i,objNull];
    _unit = vehicle _selectedUnit;
    if (group _unit == group player) then {
      lbSetColor [_idc, _i,side player call BIS_fnc_sideColor];
    };
  };
};
 
0 = [] spawn {
  while {true} do {
    waituntil {!isnull findDisplay 632};
  (findDisplay 632 displayCtrl 101) ctrlAddEventHandler ["LBSelChanged", "_this call fnc_teamSwitch"];
    waitUntil {sleep 0.2; isNull findDisplay 632};
  };
};

 

[colored groupid problem]

Hi all,

i have a question about coloured groupid's, i want to have color for the group id  in the teamswitch.
could someone help me on that ?

here is what i'm trying to do

Spoiler

//here is my text
_text = "here is my text";
 
//
//here is my coloured hint
_coloredtext = parseText format ["<t color='#1c7426'>%1</t>", _text];
 
_coloredhint = hint _coloredtext;
 
//
//now i want my grpid in green in teamswitchmenu
//doing it the same way (but wrong)
 
_normalgrpid = "here is my normal grpid";
 
player setGroupId [_normalgrpid];    //ok

 

_newgrpid = "here is my colored new grpid";
 
_colorednewgrpid = parseText format ["<t color='#1c7426'>%1</t>", _newgrpid];
 
player setGroupId [_colorednewgrpid];    // error
 
//_coloredhint is green and working
//_normalgrpid is working
//_colorednewgroupid give error type text, expected //string
