    Player - Set name of Player 4 (Purple) to HELLO!
    Player - Set name of Player 10 (Light Blue) to GREAT!

Like that you mean?

I'm not sure about changing the color of the name. Maybe you just have to set the player's name to be enclosed in the proper color codes?

Actually, you can change the color of a player through triggers.

Adding to the above just said,

ex:

Events
    Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
    Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
    Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
    Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
    Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
    Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
    Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
    Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
    Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
    Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
    Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing -red as An exact match
Conditions
Actions
    Player - Change color of (Triggering player) to Red, Changing color of existing units

And colour Wild would be random integers in those Animation Change unit Color vertex (Red,Green,Blue) fields. There is actually more to it than that, but this is the simplest way of doing something like that.

 

[ShadowTek]

Maybe you could set the text display of a player's name to include a custom color code (?), but is there actually a way to set the "global" player color to a custom color (like in StarCraft)? Sure, you can create a string of random integers/letters to create a custom hexadecimal color code. But can you set player color to that value? Maybe with JASS?

 

[AoW_Hun7312]

Maybe like this?

Blue
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -____ as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency

Of course, edit the vertex coloring and such.

Ok, so that changes all existing units to the desired color. But that does not change the actual player color, such that all other units that will come under the control of that player in the future will automatically get that color.

Yeah, you could trigger the application of that color for each new unit that comes under that player's control, but you know what I mean. Changing the color of the units that are under that player's control does not change that player's color. That was what I was referring to.

 

[AoW_Hun7312]

It DOES change the players color, try it. Make it a text command, after you type it in, type in another message. What do you see? You name's color changed as well

 

[BloodReaver]

Ok but how exactly do you get wild?'

Off-Topic
How do I make it that if a unit hits another unit, then kill the triggering unit?
