I want to color tells that I get, but how can I trigger it so that it gets all the text?

Like:

Holden tells you: "Hey hey hey hey hey hey
hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey you daaawg
yoooooo".

I want to color all the lines and not just the top one. Anyone have any ideas?

Ignore holden. [}:)]

Seriously, most tells are single-line no matter how they appear on your screen.
#TR {tells you} {#COLOR yellow}

If they aren't, use the standard multiline approach
Starting pattern - enable main trigger
* - main trigger to color, capture, gag, add to database variable, etc
Ending pattern - disable main trigger

#TR {tells you: ~"} {#T+ tellcolor}
#TR tellcolor {*} {#COLOR yellow} {} {disable}
#TR {~".$} {#T- tellcolor}

Sigh, logical thinking is not my strong side.

I did somewhat like you said, and it works - Thanks a lot for poitint me in the right direction.

What I don't understand about your way of doing it is the ~ symbol. I read that it's a sort of wildcard. What does that mean, and do?

The ~ is not a wildcard. It's the default quote character, which means any character immediatly following is quoted as that character and not interpreted as a special character. In this case, the double quote is quoted.

hmm, it seemed to work without, so perhaps I should just settle for that.

Something different - How do you make a button that toggles something on and off, like:
F1 - Toggle "netdodging on" and "netdodging off", so that every other time you press the button you get the on and off?

Assuming netdodging is a class:
#IF (%class( netdodging)) {#T- netdodging} {#T+ netdodging}

You could also use a toggle button with one state doing #T+ netdodging and the other state doing #T- netdodging.
