Colored text in triggers?

[Hemske]

If i have a trigger like this:

-A unit dies

-dying unit is a hero

-Display the name of (owner of dying unit) + has been killed

how can i make this (owner of dying unit) to be written in color?

So if player one´s hero dies, his name will be written in red, player 2 blue and blabla.

Here http://www.colorpicker.com/ you see the code,
copy the color code, then type the message and a |r after
example
#FF0000Hi|r (Hi)

Just like any tooltip really, but get a tool to aid you, there are many.

EDIT: Nah, not # , that's HTML. Something like |c... i think. Well, I don't remember right now, as I said get a tool.

Yea i know how to get color on a message through triggers but the problem here is that:

• Actions
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: I want this-> ((Name of (Owner of (Dying unit)))<- to be in color, but thats not a text string, thats a converted player name to a string, and i cant write the color code there, to make it colored :/ + Has been killed)

Maybe hard to get what i mean, sry in that case :/

Contagenate Strings (or whatever)

|cffff00 + ((Name of (Owner of (Dying unit))) + |r

I have the same problem. The owner of dying or killing unit can be any player from 1 to 12. That means 12 colours. So when you write "Display the name of (owner of dying unit) + has been killed" how do you write know which colour to use?

 

[Samlag]

check my attached File from my first post, and do it 1 by 1

If - Then - Else 's :S.

 

[moRIs]

There is a way to use 12 conditions:
If (owner of (killing unit) equal to Player 1 (Red) then ...<<use red colour>>..
If (owner of (killing unit) equal to Player 2 (Blue) then ...<<use blue colour>>..
...
but that works only if you want to return either the (owner of (killing unit)) or (owner of (dying unit))
if you want both, then it gets complicated. Isn't there an easyer way?

 

[Hemske]

Yea, it should be an easier way, beacuse using if/then/else is both much work for a small thing and makes it complicated when you need to have owner of killing AND owner of dying as you said, we got same problem here moris

I this this should be the best way....you can also use it for other massages...
first edit this variables (string) at map initialization

• player colors
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set COLOR[1] = |CFFFF0303
    • Set COLOR[2] = |CFF0042FF
    • Set COLOR[3] = |CFF1CE6B9
    • Set COLOR[4] = |CFF540081
    • Set COLOR[5] = |CFFFFFC00
    • Set COLOR[6] = |CFFFE8A0E
    • Set COLOR[7] = |CFF20C000
    • Set COLOR[8] = |CFFE55BB0
    • Set COLOR[9] = |CFF959697
    • Set COLOR[10] = |CFF7FBFF1
    • Set COLOR[11] = |CFF106246
    • Set COLOR[12] = |CFF492A04

• hero dies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 20.00 seconds the text: (COLOR[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] + ((Name of (Owner of (Dying unit))) + has been killed))

Use this |r if you wanna stop the color
