Suggestion: Allow for user defined (or automatic) colors of trigger / warp titles

[pkmnsnfrn]

I have some maps with lots of triggers and /or warps. It can be hard to distinguish which is which and requires me to click on each one to remember the context.

It would be cool if either

• Users could define the shade / color of the warp / trigger/ sign events OR
• Events that shared the same Script / Trigger /etc were automatically shaded in the same way.

This would also be useful for maps with lots of warp tiles or exits - this would allow people to visually see which warps connect to which.

For example, the triggers in front of the old man do one thing, and the triggers to the left and bottom do something else.

What about adding the script label to the information here in the bottom bar? That way you could quickly mouse over the triggers to see what they belong to. Setting their colors individually sounds messy, and you'd still have to remember which color goes to which event.

More information is probably always good. Some form of markability (little icons? Colors?) would probably also be useful to quickly see whats what (the user would have to maintain that though)

that would be a fine solution! It's less about "oh, color red is for event A", but rather "these red tiles are for a different event than the green ones and are different from the these blue ones". But I think information in the bottom bar is a great first step.

I guess I'm trying to see at a glance:

"How many events am I triggering on this map? Which tiles are "grouped" together? How many unique triggers are on this map?"

EDIT: I'll also add that while I have this problem, I'm not dead set on colors being the solution. I'm super open to discussing or finding alternate solutions to these problems.
