Multiple Color in EFS ? How?

[cv989]

I have a simple EFS I am working on, and I am attempting to set multiple colors in it, so if the MACD.Signal line goes below 0 it will be a darker color, and if above 0 a lighter color. So basically the question is how or are you able to set multiple colors from EFS:

Here is my simple EFS:

function main() {

var vMACD_15 =macd(12, 26, 9);
var vMACD_S_15 =macdSignal(12, 26, 9);
var vMACD_60 =macd(12, 26, 9);
var vMACD_S_60 =macdSignal(12, 26, 9);


if (
vMACD_15.getValue(macd) > vMACD_S_15.getValue(macdSignal)

) onAction1()

else if (
vMACD_15.getValue(macd) < vMACD_S_15.getValue(macdSignal)

) onAction2()



function onAction1() {
setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(178,255,178));
vLastAlert = 1;
}

function onAction2() {
setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(255,192,160));
vLastAlert = 2;

To clarify the attached EFS does indeed plot 2 colors, but what I am attempting to do, is to be able to plot up to 4 colors, 2 colors for MACD going up, and 2 colors for MACD going down.

Hopefully this can be done. ?

Read a few things over, and modified the code a bit again trying to plot multiple colors, here is the code:

function main() {

var vMACD_15 =macd(12, 26, 9);
var vMACD_S_15 =macdSignal(12, 26, 9);
var vMACD_H_15 =macdHist(12, 26, 9);
var onAction1 =setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(0,255,0));
var onAction2 =setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(255,192,160));
var OnAction3 =setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(255,255,0));
var OnAction4 =setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(128,255,0));


if (
vMACD_15.getValue(macd) > vMACD_S_15.getValue(macdSignal) && vMACD_15(getValue(macd) > 0

)) onAction1() //Light Green Color Above 0

vMACD_15.getValue(macd) < vMACD_S_15.getValue(macdSignal) && vMACD_15(getValue(macd) < 0

) ;onAction2() //Light Red Color Below 0

vMACD_S_15.getValue(macd) > vMACD_S_15.getValue(macdSignal) && vMACD_15(getValue(macd) < 0

) ;onAction3()

vMACD_15.getValue(macd) < vMACD_S_15.getValue(macdSignal) && vMACD_15(getValue(macd) > 0

) ;onAction4() //Darker Green Above 0 but going down.

But its still not displaying the multi-colors.. Any suggestions are welcome.

Got it working!

OK, sorry everyone for my ignorance... But this is getting somewhat frustrating...

Here is my EFS, the MENU is working, but now its NOT coloring the background, as it was before. I added the ability to change the colors from the menu, but since doing that its not working:

var aFPArray =new Array();
var vMACD_15 =macd(12, 26, 9);
var vMACD_S_15 =macdSignal(12, 26, 9);
var vLastAlert = -1;


function preMain()
{

//initialize formula parameters
x=0;
setPriceStudy(false);
setStudyTitle("MACD-Colored");
//define a color menu option
aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter( "FCOLOR1", FunctionParameter.COLOR);
with( aFPArray[x] ) {
setName( "Select COLOR - MACD > Signal & above 0" );
setDefault( Color.blue );
}
x++;
//define a color menu option
aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter( "FCOLOR2", FunctionParameter.COLOR);
with( aFPArray[x] ) {
setName( "Select COLOR - MACD < Signal & above 0" );
setDefault( Color.red );
}
//define a color menu option
aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter( "FCOLOR3", FunctionParameter.COLOR);
with( aFPArray[x] ) {
setName( "Select COLOR - MACD < Signal & below 0" );
setDefault( Color.red );
}
//define a color menu option
aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter( "FCOLOR4", FunctionParameter.COLOR);
with( aFPArray[x] ) {
setName( "Select COLOR - MACD > Signal & below 0" );
setDefault( Color.blue );
}
}


function Main( FCOLOR1,
FCOLOR2,
FCOLOR3,
FCOLOR4) {
var x;
{
if (
vMACD_15.getValue(macd) > vMACD_S_15.getValue(macdSignal) &&
vMACD_15.getValue(macd) < 0
) onAction1()

else if (
vMACD_15.getValue(macd) > vMACD_S_15.getValue(macdSignal) &&
vMACD_15.getValue(macd) > 0
) onAction2()

else if (
vMACD_15.getValue(macd) < vMACD_S_15.getValue(macdSignal) &&
vMACD_15.getValue(macd) > 0
) onAction3()

else if (
VMACD_15.getValue(macd) < vMACD_S_15.getValue(macdSignal) &&
vMACD_15.getValue(macd) < 0
) onAction4()
}}


function postMain() {

}

//{{EFSWizard_Actions
//{{EFSWizard_Action_1
function onAction1() {
setBarBgColor.FCOLOR1
vLastAlert = 1;

}
function onAction2() {
setBarBgColor.FCOLOR2;
vLastAlert = 2;
}
function onAction3() {
setBarBgColor.FCOLOR3;
vLastAlert = 3;
}
function onAction4() {
setBarBgColor.FCOLOR4;
vLastAlert = 4;
}

Try this:

var aFPArray =new Array(); 
var vMACD_15 =null;
var vMACD_S_15 =null;

    with( aFPArray[x++] ) { 
        setName( "Select COLOR - MACD > Signal & above 0" ); 
        setDefault( Color.blue ); 
    } 
    aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter( "FCOLOR2", FunctionParameter.COLOR); 
    with( aFPArray[x++] ) {

    }
    if (vMACD_15.getValue(0) > vMACD_S_15.getValue(0) &&
    vMACD_15.getValue(0) < 0 && vLastAlert != 1) onAction1(FCOLOR1);

    else if (vMACD_15.getValue(0) < vMACD_S_15.getValue(0) &&
    vMACD_15.getValue(0) > 0 && vLastAlert != 3) onAction3(FCOLOR3);

    else if (vMACD_15.getValue(0) < vMACD_S_15.getValue(0) &&
    vMACD_15.getValue(0) < 0 && vLastAlert != 4) onAction4(FCOLOR4);

    return new Array(getSeries(vMACD_15),getSeries(vMACD_S_15));
}

function onAction1(FCOLOR1) {
    setBarBgColor(FCOLOR1,0);
