I'm pretty sure that I've seen someone tint messages through triggers, and I'd love to get some help as to how I do so.

UI - Display ((((Name of player (Triggering player)) + " - ") + (Name of (Unit type of (Triggering unit)))) + " has used the right teleport and is...") for (All players) to Subtitle area

This is my trigger. I want the ((((Name of player (Triggering player)) + " - ") + (Name of (Unit type of (Triggering unit))) to be tinted in the color of the triggering player. How's this done?

EDIT: I know how to tint a chat message, just need to know how to set up an action so that it tints the message in the color of the player. Not the entire message, just part of it

UI - Display ((Text (Combine ((Name of player (Triggering player)), " - ", (Name of (Unit type of (Triggering unit))), " has used the right teleport and is...")) with color (Color((Current player (Triggering player) color)))) + "... the other text which is white....." for (All players) to Subtitle area

There is an action that can color text with the color. The non-colored text is outside of that function...

Maybe this helps more to see the structure:

Text Message
    Message: Combine Text
        Text 1: Text With Color
            Text: Combine Text Multiple
                Text <Text+>
                    Text: Name Of Player
                        Player: Triggering Player
                    Text: " - "
                    Text: Name Of Unit Type
                        Unit Type: Unit Type Of Unit
                            Unit: Triggering Unit
                    Text: " has used the right teleport and is..."
            Color: Convert Player Color To Color
                Player Color: Player Color
                    Option: Current
                    Player: Triggering Player
        Text 2: "... the other text which is white....."
    Players: All Players
    Message Area: Subtitle
