I'm trying to create a simple prompt coloring script, but am having little success. My issue seems to mostely stem from not knowing how to color single entries in a full line rather than the full line itself. My prompt looks like this . . .

<178/178hp 111/111m 123mv 404tnl | NEWU |>

After searching I found this topic, but its four years old.

I've manage to make a trigger that works(but may be messy) it looks like . . ..

~<(%d)/(%d)hp (%d)/(%d)m (%d)mv (%d)tnl ~| (%w) ~|~>

I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to help me make a script to modify the prompt based on hp/mana ect being a % of the max. It looks like thats what the final script on the linked post is trying to do, but the syntax may be too old.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Jaqyl

~<(%d)/(%d)hp (%d)/(%d)m (%d)mv (%d)tnl ~| (%w) ~|~>

Ok, heres how it goes down. You need to put the values you wanna change the color of in variables.

#VAR curhp %1
#VAR maxhp %2
#VAR curmana %3
#VAR maxmana %4
#VAR curmove %5
#VAR curxptnl %6

Then.. in the same trigger you wanna do something along these lines

#IF (@curhp>=(0.5*@maxhp)) {#COLOR %1 green}
#IF (@curhp<(0.5*@maxhp)) {#COLOR %1 yellow}
#IF (@curhp<(0.25*@maxhp)) {#COLOR %1 red}

And so on for mana and move and xp if you wanna color those.. typically you'd only want to change the color of hp anyways.

Thanks for the advice, gonna take a run at it tommorrow. Haven't had the time to MUD recently due to other interests, why I haven't gotten back until now.

Thanks again,
