Zugg Software :: View topic - Question about the 'Highlight' Script set on the finished scripts forum.

Say I wanted to alter that script so I could use different colors for different phrases?

Example: hl green I want this text to be green.
hl blue I want THIS text to be blue!

How would I go about doing that...I tried to think of a way, but couldn't figure out how
to get _which_ phrase the trigger was reacting to when using the {@hl} pattern and stuff.

Any help? :-(

Thanks in advance to any who try!

Do you want to send the text to your MUD coloured (using your MUD's colour syntax) or do you want to print the text to your screen coloured?

Whenever the word/phrase comes up on the screen, I want it to be colored in the color I specified with my highlight alias.

I don't want to always type the word in that color though.

You could just make triggers yourself for this:

#trig {whatever you want here} {#cw blue}
#trig {whatever you want here} {#color blue}

#cw will only colour the part the trigger matches - #color will colour the whole line.

Yeah, I know, but that's too many triggers to sort through when I open my list :-P

Use a class for colour-related triggers, use the search function, and/or use a single trigger for each colour:

#trig {{pattern 1|pattern 2}} {#cw blue}

But you can't use wildcards in those patterns unless you enable that option.

Yeah I guess I could just make separate ones for each color. Thanks.
