As to a colour alert, it depends on what you mean.

You could do something as simple as colourizing the text.
This can be done using hex code colouring when you set the text

eg |cAARRGGBBTextToDisplay|r

or for clarity and flexibility where ColorOn can be set to a different colour before setting the text.
Lua Code:
  1. local ColorOn = "|cAARRGGBB"
  2. local ColorOff = "|r"
  3. f.Text:SetText(ColorOn .. "Text to Display" .. ColorOff)

Or you could add a texture to the frame holding the text and colourise that according to your needs
More Info : https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/API_Te...etColorTexture

Set the texture up at frame Creation time
Lua Code:
  1. f.Color = f:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND") - Set to Background so that the text appears above it
  2. f.Color:SetAllPoints()

Then, when you need to change it's color use this line
Lua Code:
  1. f.Color:SetColorTexture(r, g, b, a) - Where r,g,b and a are values between 0 and 1.


Hello. I have the code, but I don't understand how to use it.


Lua Code:
  1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
  2. -- These might be converted to Saved Variables so each character can determine
  3. -- wether or not to play a sound, the alert times and colors and sound to play.
  4. -- If so then most of the code below will have to move into an event handler for 
  5. -- the PLAYER_LOGIN or PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD event.
  6. local useColor = true
  7. local useSound = true
  8. local alert1 = 600 -- Alarm 1 set to 5 minutes before event
  9. local alert1Color = "|cffffff00" -- Yellow
  10. local alert2 = 30 -- Alarm 2 set to 30 seconds before event
  11. local alert2Color = "|cffff0000" -- Red
  12. local soundKit = 32585 -- Alarm sound
  13. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
  14.  
  15. local function printTime(timetotrun, inevent)
  16.     local hideSeconds = timetotrun >= 120
  17.     local msg = L.Waiting
  18.     local msgColor = "|cffffffff"
  19.     if inevent then
  20.         msg = L.Running
  21.     else
  22.         if useColor and timetotrun <= alert2 then
  23.             msgColor = alert2Color
  24.         elseif timetotrun <= alert1 then
  25.             if useSound and not ZAMTimer_4_Events.Alerted then
  26.                 ZAMTimer_4_Events.Alerted = true
  27.                 PlaySound(soundKit, "Master")
  28.             end
  29.             if useColor then
  30.                 msgColor = alert1Color
  31.             end
  32.         end
  33.     end
  34.     f.text:SetText(format(msg, msgColor, SecondsToTime(timetotrun, hideSeconds)))
  35. end
  36.  
  37. ZAMTimer_4_Events.Alerted = false



The result should be something like this.


Lua Code:
  1. local addonName, addon = ...
  2. local L, MyRegion
  3. local RegionTimes = {
  4.     [1] = {
  5.         startTime = 1679572800,
  6.         totalDuration = 14400, -- complete session time 4 hours repeating
  7.         sub_sessionDuration = 3600, -- 1 hour
  8.         waitTime = 3300, -- 55 minutes
  9.         eventtime = 300, -- 5 minutes implied but..
  10.         [1] = { -- sub-sessions
  11.             name = "A",
  12.         },

  18.         },
  19.         [4] = {
  20.             name = "D",
  21.         },
  22.     },
  23. }
  24.  
  25. --[[ TEST TIMES ONLY: over 4 minutes instead of 4 hours ]]--
  26.  
  27. --[[
  28. RegionTimes[1].totalDuration = 240 -- 4 minutes
