I had this idea a few minutes back and it doesnt seem to work, so could someone please help?

I'd like to make a talker that would assign a different color to each letter. So, the a would be green, the b would be red, the c would be yellow, etc. which could create amusing and entertaining messages for yourself and your friends, and optionnaly score chicks .

I tried two things: I first did ctrl+k plus whatever color in the chat window, put it in the talkers file which gave something like
a=29
but unfortunately, what showed up in the chat window was 29a.

So I looked in the pre-typed messages (/bigkiss) because I remembered the syntax was different, and it was, it was like (!FC39). I typed that in the file, which gave
a=(!FC39)a
but it didnt work either.

Does someone have a solution?

As I don't know how the StuffPlug talkers are used by the plugin, I can't give any advice. Anyway, take a look at how bambi talker works:

code:

---

function getnr() {
    var output=""+(Math.round(Math.random()*5) * 50);
    while (output.length < 3) output="0"+output;
    return output;
}

function talker(input){
    var cchar="";
    var output="";
    var i=0;
    while (i<input.length) {
        if (input.substr(i,1)==" ") {
            output = output+" ";
        } else {
            output=output+cchar+"(";
            output=output+getnr()+",";
            output=output+getnr()+",";
            output=output+getnr()+")";
            output=output+input.substr(i,1);
        }
        i=i+1;
    }
    return output;
}

So try giving the  value to any string and then use it...

Well, I actually have zero programming knowledge. I don't understand anyting of the above...

well the best thing to do would be to ask someone else to make you a talker

Ok. Could somebody do that talker? Or if you REALLY have time to kill, developping a whole plugin if the talkers dont work?

the talkers do work. i mite have a go at making it later, but i'm really busy and its 4am

Thanks!

How do i make or find talkers??

i searched the forum but can't find talkers newher

there are numerous talkers on the plugins forum. just search more.

I made a talker that works and colors each letter. The code is very simple, so you can continue adding symbols to be colored, and changing the colors I assigned If u don't like them (I don't).
