color code to this menu

[Yuna]

I want to put a color code to the menu items in this script, but not sure how to do it. It's from the script: npc/merchants/elemental_trader.txt

		set .@menu$, "";
		for(set .@j,1; .@j<5; set .@j,.@j+1) {
			if (.@Items[.@j] != .@i) set .@menu$, .@menu$+getitemname(.@Items[.@j]);
			set .@menu$, .@menu$+":";
		}
		set .@menu$, .@menu$+"Cancel";
		set .@j, select(.@menu$);

Thanks~

Then it'd go like this

set .@menu$, "";
		for(set .@j,1; .@j<5; set .@j,.@j+1) {
--			if (.@Items[.@j] != .@i) set .@menu$, .@menu$+getitemname(.@Items[.@j]);
++			if (.@Items[.@j] != .@i) set .@menu$, .@menu$+"^ff0000"+getitemname(.@Items[.@j])+"^000000";
			set .@menu$, .@menu$+":";
		}
		set .@menu$, .@menu$+"Cancel";
		set .@j, select(.@menu$);

Hello

 

Do you want to put the same color for each item or do you want to put different colors? If you want them to be different, how do you want to choose the color?

Same color is fine. ^FF0000

you can also do it like this

set .@j, select( "^FF0000"+.@menu$+"^000000" );

this way it would reduce the length of the menu string and give up more slots for other menus since string have a limit of 2048 ~ 4096 characters.
