I'm trying to color %c by using the following code but it doesn't return anything. What's wrong?

function ()
    local value, color
    value = aura_env.manacost
    
    if aura_env.config["inverted"] then
        if value > 80000 then
            color = "FFFF0000"  -- Red
        elseif value > 60000 then
            color = "FFFFA500"  -- Orange
        elseif value > 40000 then
            color = "FFFFFF00"  -- Yellow
        elseif value > 20000 then
            color = "FF00FF00"  -- Green
        else
            color = "FF00FFFF"  -- Cyan
        end
    else
        if value < 20000 then
            color = "FFFF0000"  -- Red
        elseif value < 40000 then
            color = "FFFFA500"  -- Orange
        elseif value < 60000 then
            color = "FFFFFF00"  -- Yellow
        elseif value < 80000 then
            color = "FF00FF00"  -- Green
        else
            color = "FF00FFFF"  -- Cyan
        end
    end
    
    return WrapTextInColorCode(value,color)
end

I get no errors there. The value isn't showing when return WrapTextInColorCode() is being used.
If I replace color = "FFFF0000" with return value, the corresponding value shows in white.

#

So, I just found the cause but now I need a way to make it work.

#

When I use "Big Numbers", it doesn't work. When I use "None", it works.

I guess my only option is to abbreviate the values by myself in the code, right?

#

Solved! I did it in the code.

You're not returning a number, you're returning a string so yeah, can't expect WA to handle that.
What you arguably should be doing is having the value be part of a trigger and using Conditions for all this. At which point the text is showing a number which can be formatted by WA

    if aura_env.config["inverted"] then
        if value > step * 4 then
            color = "FFFF0000"  -- Red
        elseif value > step * 3 then
            color = "FFFFA500"  -- Orange
        elseif value > step * 2 then
            color = "FFFFFF00"  -- Yellow

            color = "FFFFA500"  -- Orange

            color = "FFFFFF00"  -- Yellow
        elseif value < step * 4 then
            color = "FF00FF00"  -- Green
        else
            color = "FF00FFFF"  -- Cyan
        end
    end
    
    if value >= 1000 then
        text = math.floor(value / 1000) .. "K"
    else
        text = value
    end
    
    return WrapTextInColorCode(text, color)
end

I don't know if it's the best way to do it but it works. eddaniLol

You already are

Actually, I've tried to color text via conditions but there is an inverted flag that I don't know how to handle if I use conditions for coloring text, so I went for this solution instead.

You carry inverted through to a trigger value too
