New question GetClassColor() ~ Undocumented

[SkOODaT]

Found GetClassColor() in the raw dump ive tested it and seems to output r,g,b infos but i have an issue :S

local c1, c2, c3 = GetClassColor("reticleover")

c1 gets all the r,g,b information and c2, c3 get nil lol
is thier any way to take the string it ouputs and format it into r,g,b

thank you

Return value from function GetClassColor(classId) is ZO_ColorDef object, so you can use all its methods.

local colorDef = GetClassColor(6) --6 = templar
 
local r,g,b = colorDef:UnpackRGB()
local r,g,b,a = colorDef:UnpackRGBA()
local hexString = colorDef:ToHex()
local r,g,b,a = colorDef.r, colorDef.g, colorDef.b, colorDef.a
 
--or you can use for example:
local colorizedText = colorDef:Colorize(text)

awesome thank you so much class works perfect now

is thier any way by chance to use :ToHex() with something like GetUnitReactionColor("reticleover")

im uesing a borrowed function to convert it seems to cause a delay when updateing my text :S

local function RGBPercToHex(r, g, b)
    r = r <= 1 and r >= 0 and r or 0
    g = g <= 1 and g >= 0 and g or 0
    b = b <= 1 and b >= 0 and b or 0
    return string.format("%02x%02x%02x", r*255, g*255, b*255)
end

local colorDef = GetUnitReactionColor("reticleover")
local hexString = colorDef:ToHex()

does not work lol

preview of what im working on

*** Note The Icons on the side of the health frame are part of the addon "Target Lookup" (Awsome Addon) and just happens to go along VERY well with my addons lol

GetUnitReactionColor("reticleover") returns r, g, and b values

You could use them to create your own ZO_ColorDef object and then use it that way.

Zgoo dump of the ZO_ColorDef object:

Warning: Spoiler

["ZO_ColorDef"] = table [#0,13,+3]
Clone() = function
Colorize() = function
FromInterfaceColor() = function
["__index"] = table [#0,13,+3] (global ZO_ColorDef)
(m) ["__index"] = table [#0,3] (global ZO_Object)
IsEqual() = function
Lerp() = function
New() = function
(m) New() = function
SetAlpha() = function
SetRGB() = function
SetRGBA() = function
(m) Subclass() = function
ToHex() = function
UnpackRGB() = function
UnpackRGBA() = function

To create a new ColorDef, you can use:

local myColor = ZO_ColorDef:New(red, green, blue, alpha)

Any you leave out will default to 1.
Since GetUnitReactionColor returns r,g,b you can do the following:

local colorDef = ZO_ColorDef:New(GetUnitReactionColor("reticleover"))
local hexString = colorDef:ToHex()

So if I read this right there are already class colors defined by the game?
Cause for the Guild Chat addon we used custom colors:
http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info494-GuildChat.html

Templar =white
Sorcerer =blue
Dragon Knight = red
Nightblade = purple

thank you so much for the help ill try that out with reaction.....

yes thier is lol found it hidden in the raw dump

Templar =white
Sorcerer = tealish color
Dragon Knight = orangeish color
Nightblade = purple

Templar =white sucks tho cause most text is white wish ESO had labeled them a diff colour maby an off-white


** unfortunately it seems

local colorDef = ZO_ColorDef:New(GetUnitReactionColor("reticleover"))
 local hexString = colorDef:ToHex()
NameString = "|c"..hexString..Name.."|r"

causes the same delay i was expierenceing with the convert to hex function when coloring the unit name with reaction color the only way i seem to be able to avoid this is by setting the color on the entire name text frame, the delay is very minimal almost unnoticable but overall setting it entirely seems to work better for some reason :S

r, g, b = GetUnitReactionColor("reticleover")
ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName:SetColor(r, g, b, 1)

ESO target frame text is really hard to work with in general :S lol
