Are you sure you didn't forget a | before CCFFF etc?

I dident forgot it. The strange thing is that the trigger is good/ bad/ good /bad.
hard to explain mm. every 0.2 secodns of the game the triggers plays 2 times. 1 of that time its going good, and the other it shows the bug like in the picture. so strange

EDIT:

• Actions
  • Set Strings[0] = |cffffcc00
  • Set Strings[1] = |cffFF0000
  • Set Strings[2] = |||||||||||||||||||||||||
  • Set Strings[3] = |r
  • Set Chars = 25.00
  • Set Loading_bar_remainingTime = (Load 0 of (Key (Picked unit)) from Hashtable_loading_Bar)
  • Hashtable - Save (Loading_bar_remainingTime - 0.10) as 0 of (Key (Picked unit)) in Hashtable_loading_Bar
  • Set r0 = (100.00 / 4.00)
  • Set r1 = (r0 x Loading_bar_remainingTime)
  • Set i1 = (Integer((r1 / (100.00 / Chars))))
  • Set String = (Strings[0] + (((Substring(Strings[2], 1, i1)) + Strings[3]) + (Strings[1] + ((Substring(Strings[2], (i1 + 1), (Integer(Chars)))) + Strings[3]))))

I changed a few things. Now it only keeps showing an r. The "r" switches every 0.1 seconds from the end of the string with a red collour to a yellow colloured "r" at the end of the progress of the bar. (like when the bar is at half time then the r is in the middle of the string)

The character "|" is the same as the end-method used by the hex code "|r" so it screws up. Use something other than "|" like an apostrophe " ' " or the letter L lower-cased " l " or a lower-case I " i "
