A Challenge! by Nopraptor on 09-27-2007 at 05:04 PM
When i make my msn names, i like them to be original. something no one else does. and same goes with my fonts when i type. Ive heard theres a plugin that can change your font to a gradient colour. BUT heres the challenge! can it be done so that when your typing a message, only the first letter changes colour?! something like this...
(my name)
[c=4]J[/c][c=1]ordan[/c][c=4]T[/c][c=1]oner[/c]
If so, that would OWN. im no good at scripting myself, so i was wondering if anyones got the knack of scripting, try to have a go! 
email or add me if you need to talk to me about it

code:
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(PlusWnd, Message){
if(Message.substr(0,1)!="\\"){
Message = Message.split(" ");
for(var s in Message){
Message[s].substr(0,1) = "[c=4]"+Message[s].substr(0,1)+"[/c]";
}
return Message.join(" ");
}
}
Should work, but gradients can't be put onto a single letter, so it's only a single colour

I didn't know you could "set" a substr()? 
...
Oh yeh, that's because you can't. 
Try this instead of the "Message[s].substr(0,1) = ..." line:
code:I more like to use charAt(0) instead of substr(0,1) because it's shorter and easier to understand.
Message[s] = "[c=4]"+Message[s].charAt(0)+"[/c]"+Message[s].substr(1);
(the first character uh! 
)However you should note that this will NOT work on words after a new-line or tab character. I'll see if I can do the same with replace combined with a function...

I did notice that after I posted it... I fixed it and developed the script and it has now been released
