Reference to indicator color

[vegasfoster]

I am trying to build a strategy that refers to the plot color because the indicator (and others like it) doesn't output any specific values that can be used as a trigger (not that I can figure anyway), only changes color. I am setting up the formula as shown in picture, plot [0] == blue [0], but that doesn't seem to work, i.e. the sound doesn't play when the color changes to blue. I tried looking at the code of the indicator to see if I could change it so that it output a different number for each color, but no joy at this point. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

I get why it's not working now, cause blue, pink, etc. is not the result of plot[0] but separate outputs. Hmmm.

So I tried adding this:

Plot1.Set(Value[0] < Close[0] ? 0 : (Value[0] > Close[0] ? 1 : 2));

and this

Plot1.Set(Values[1][0] = Value[0] ? 0 : (Values[2][0] = Value[0] ? 1 : 2));


to the original code (not at the same time), but it did't like either one. It gives me error code CS0103, which says I most likely have a typo, but I don't think that is the problem. Thank you.

gawd, making it way more complicated than it needed to be. just had to sleep on it.

vegasfoster, just to clarify, you've got a working solution now?

Figured that part out, but still working on the overall concept, will post if anything worthwhile. Thanks.
