Dota's water color, how does it work?

I tried to create dota's water color system, but I failed. I could not save the rgb values of the entered chat string into a variable and the other thing was that when I changed the water's color, it had a strange color, much darker than it should be.
For those who dont know the system:

you type -water R G B (R,G and B stand for integer values from 0-255Ö and it will change the water's color locally to the typed value.

Problem solved!

Here's the code for it I made:

JASS:
function if255 takes integer value returns boolean
    return value > 255
endfunction

function Trig_Water_Color_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local string start = GetEventPlayerChatString()
    local string s = ""
    local string stemp = ""
    local string array number
    local integer i = 0
    local integer l
    local integer skip = 0
    local integer array value
    
    
    loop
        exitwhen i > StringLength(start) or skip > 2
        set s = SubString(start, i, i+1)
        if s == " " then
            set l = i+1
            loop
                set stemp = SubString(start, l,l+1)
                exitwhen stemp == " " or stemp == null or stemp == ""
                if stemp != " " then
                    if skip == 0 then
                        set number[skip] = number[skip] + stemp
                    elseif skip == 1 then
                        set number[skip] = number[skip] + stemp
                    elseif skip == 2 then
                        set number[skip] = number[skip] + stemp
                    endif
                endif
                set l = l + 1
            endloop
            set skip = skip + 1
        endif
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    
    set i = 0
    loop
        exitwhen i > 2
        set value<i> = S2I(number<i>)
        if if255(value<i>) then
            return
        endif
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
        call SetWaterBaseColor(value[0], value[1], value[2], 255)
    endif
endfunction</i></i></i>


It needs a function where you register the following: all players type -water as a substring

That means you need help to do that or what? I don't understand.
no he meant that the code above doesn't have an event. in order for it too work you will need to add the event "player X types -water as a substring" at map init.

one question, in dota i type "-water red" or "-water green". Maybe you can add it so "if substring = red, then set auto number[1] = 255, number[2] = 0, number3= [0] etc. ?

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
