| I have been trying to make a trigger so that it colours the name of my current target in red, and the rest in white. The trigger:
<trigger
enabled="y"
group="test"
match="^(.*)?([A-Z][a-z]+)(.*)?\.$"
omit_from_output="y"
regexp="y"
script="gagging"
send_to="14"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>
Basically, the name of my target can either be the first wildcard from the pattern, or the second. What I am having troubles with is leaving the line as it is if the name of my target isn't in that sentence. Here is the gagging script:
function gagging (sName, sLine, wildcards, tStyle)
if (wildcards [1] == GetVariable ("target")) then
ColourTell ("red", "", wildcards [1])
ColourNote ("white", "", wildcards [2]..".")
elseif (wildcards [2] == GetVariable ("target")) then
ColourTell ("white", "", wildcards [1])
ColourTell ("red", "", wildcards [2])
if (wildcards [3]) then
ColourTell ("white", "", wildcards [3])
end --if
ColourNote ("white", "", ".")
else
for key, value in pairs (tStyle) do
if (key ~= #tStyle) then
ColourTell (value [textcolour], value [backcolour], value [text])
else
ColourNote (value.textcolour, value.backcolour, value.text)
end --if
end --for
end --if
end --function
The problems I encounter are here:
ColourTell (value [textcolour], value [backcolour], value [text])
I don't know how to transform the number from the textcolour field into a viable colour name for the ColourTell function. How do I do that? If anyone has a better idea about how to do this, I am more than willing to listen to any suggestions. | | Top |

| Do you actually want the rest in white, or do you want it to be left alone? Because matching specific names and just colouring those is better (faster, so much faster) than matching every line as you're doing at the moment and recolouring it as it was supposed to be.
Anyway, if you're just trying to match one thing that's contained in a Variable, you can expand a variable in the match field as this person is doing:

I think you can, anyway. | | Top |

No, I want the name of my current enemy in red, and the rest of the line, no matter if it comes before or after it, in white. The combat spam can overwhelm you in group fights, and I want to be able to see what my enemy is doing. | | Top |

| Right, well, nevertheless, the above still holds - if you replace your match attribute with
It should expand to match only your target, and not every line containing any sequence of alphanumeric characters, meaning you shouldn't have to handle lines that don't contain the name. | | Top |
