Is there a way to set the row to the color of player[IntA] ?

This is only part of the multiboard trigger. But I've got it set up so that it sorts players in order of colors. Like Red will be at the top, then blue, teal etc. And if lets say it was

Red
Blue
[Teal not playing]
Green

The multiboard will show
Red
Blue
Green

So I got the names showing correctly, but I need to add colors to them. Not sure how to go about that without having a bunch of if statements checking if that row belongs to X player. Or is that my only option?

You don't necessarily need to use that function for coloring multiboard strings. It's possible to use the hexadecimal coloring way: |cAARRGGBB + concatenate strings.

You don't necessarily need to use that function for coloring a text. You can still use the hexadecimal code. |cAARRGGBB + concatenate strings.

oh right, but how would I go about getting the row color? Is that possible?

Background u mean? No, only text

Unfortunately, there's no native function that gets which color is set to each row and column. Also, why exactly player color, and not their number?

If you want to make that multiboard displaying players dynamically (showing playing players only), and be sorted by colors. Then, you'll have to keep track of each row, and store in an array (integer) which player is occupying that row ("slot"); Also, when a player leaves the game, the "row position" for the rest of them should be adjusted. For example, imagine that players from 1 to 10 are currently playing the game, and then player 5 abandons the match. These players: 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, will now be in the incorrect "slot" (row and column), and you should move their position to the previous one. (6 moves to 5; 7 moves to 6, etc...)
