    Hi all,

    I'm looking to change the color of the location signpost text depending on a game variable from 1-5. I've looked through a few past topics as well as the wiki and I understand how to change it in text messages, but not in the script section.

    Hopefully it's simple - if anyone could help it would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    You could start it off with a conditional branch - ie 'If variable X = Y, then display this message. If = Z, display this message' etc.

    Then within those separate call text commands, colour them with in-text commands like \r, \b, \[c]1 etc. Examples of these can be found downstairs in your house in base essentials.

    edit: Oh, do you happen to mean the thing that pops up in the top left corner? Yeah I don't know about that.
