Set font color in message box?

Question

Hello again Hercules,

 

I want to set a variable so when it is 1, it can appear in a message box next to writing in a 'mes' box. But I can't figure out how to make it work.

 

E.g.

I set my variable to 1.

set @color, 1;

And then whenever 

if (.color == 1) {
^00ff00;
}
else {
^ff0000;
}

 

It will appear in a message box like so:

 

if color is set to 1,

mes "" + @color + "This text is bright green^000000.";

This text is bright green.

 

if color is set to 0 (or anything else),
mes "" + @color + "This text is bright green^000000.";

This text is bright green.

 

Hope I explained it well enough. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry I should have explained what I'm trying to do better. I'm trying to make an npc which you can choose which buffs it gives and the buffs it will give you depends on what is active. The activity will be shown in red or green on a menu.

Error log says I am missing a parenthesis/bracket '(' ')' somewhere in this line.

 

 

.@selectbuff = select("^777777Return^000000:(@agicolor?"^cc0000":"^cc0000") +Increase Agility^000000:(@blessingcolor?"^cc0000":"^cc0000") +Blessing^000000");

Because ternary is an operator, and should be outside quotes :3

.@selectbuff = select("^777777Return^000000:" +(@agicolor?"^cc0000":"^cc0000") + "Increase Agility^000000:" +(@blessingcolor?"^cc0000":"^cc0000") + "Blessing^000000");
