Forums Scripts & Popups echo and colors

Is there a way to change colors (multicolor) on an echo line?

Something tells me that due to being an echo, the output can't be multicolor.

/help control codes

/echo -a 04this 12is 06multiple 08colors

/echo -a 04,01 this 12is 06multiple 08colors 09with 11background 13color 

Thanks.

How do I add color to the $nick string:

echo this is a test by $nick

//echo -a 04,01 this 12is 06multiple 08colors 09with 11background 13color $+(09,$nick) 

Like that?

Hum, so to color a $string, it needs to be $+(09,$nick) 

or %variable

because mirc doesnt understand what BLAHBLAH$identifer means... doesnt it just look like any static text to you? well thats what mIRC thinks too.

So you do BLAHBLAH $+ $identifier instead.

You can always use $+ or $+() to combine the color with the identifier or variable, as mentioned. However, if you have other text around the identifier or variable, you don't need to.

Example:


Notice that the 09 is attached to the word "color" instead of to "$nick". This has no effect on the output, so there's no need to use $+ or $+(). If "color" was an identifier or variable, you'd need to use $+ or $+(). The same is true for any control codes following $nick.
