Suprisingly this work now (I tried it 10+ times before and it didn't), I
just have another question,
SphericalPlot3D[1, {t, 0, 2 Pi}, {p, 0, Pi},
 ColorFunction ->
   Function[{x, y, z, t, p, r}, Hue[f[Abs@z]]] and   SphericalPlot3D[1, {t,
0, 2 Pi}, {p, 0, Pi},
 ColorFunction ->
   Function[{x, y, z, t, p, r}, Hue[f[z]]]
returned the same plots, therefore this isn't really plotting my values??
I don't really trust this now.

I also tried calculating a lot of points on a sphere and finding a value in
given point, than Show them all with Graphics3D giving them color based on
value, BUT sphere loses it's depth and is full of holes now. so it doesn't
look ok.
