color code

[Dori]

How can I put 2 different colors to the item amount and the item name according to this script?

mes "- "+ getd(".@pt_"+ .@j3 +"["+ (.@i+1) +"]") +" "+ getitemname(getd(".@pt_"+ .@j3 +"["+ .@i +"]"));

By using color codes before each section that has a different color (this includes if you want text to display as black).

mes "- ^FF0000"+ getd(".@pt_"+ .@j3 +"["+ (.@i+1) +"]") +" ^0000FF"+ getitemname(getd(".@pt_"+ .@j3 +"["+ .@i +"]"));

That will make your above message display as wanted.

^RRGGBB
ex. ^FF0000 = RED
ex. ^00FF00 = GREEN
ex. ^0000FF = BLUE
ex. ^FFFFFF = WHITE
ex. ^000000 = BLACK

You can also refer to here: Color Codes for a list of other colors, the middle 6 Letters/numbers are what you use.

It didn't quite work. The color for the item amount worked fine, but for the names; the color worked for the names but it continued on to the rest of the text the npc says.
This is where I have been stuck too.
 
Here how it looks like:
 
- 5 apples
- 5 orranges
- 8 nuts

 

bring these items bla bla bla bla

 

that first dash (-) is black but the rest of them are also blue.

If, you fully read my first post, you'll see that, I mentioned, you must put the black code ( ^000000 ) in front of text that displays black.

 

Colorizing text in rA/eA work like this:

mes "This will appear as black because its a new script, so don't worry about leaving colors in the end of scripts.";
mes "^FF0000 Everything from now on will be red, until I change the color again.";
mes "^000000 Now everything will be black. ^00FF00 And now all green until I change it again. ^000000";
mes "You'll notice that I used the code for black at the end of the above line, thus making all this black. ^0000FF";
close; // I put blue at the end of this script but it doesn't matter because the script ended, a new script will always appear in black.
