Summary/Description: This package is an extremely quick enemy-highlighter. It is precise, only ever highlighting the full name, and highlighting all of the full name on that line. Using obscene amounts of names on a line, you can introduce minor lag... Obscene being something such as doing 'city enemies' in Mhaldor (2000 enemies to highlight, anyone?). However, even so, it is fast to do them. Check out the benchmarks at the bottom. This package uses substring triggers for fastest results.
Feedback is desired. If you have any questions, send me an email.

Aliases
enhi
Syntax: enhi <command>
- This is currently the only alias in the system. It's a very simply alias - simply use 'enhi' before the normal command, to highlight them. After enhi you use the normal Achaean syntax for checking the enemies. For instance:
enhi city enemies - this would highlight city enemies.
enhi clan example enemies - this would highlight all the enemies of that clan.
Functions
colorAll()
colorAll(word[, fg[, bg[, italic[, underline[, bold[, noCase]]]]]])
This function will color all of 'word' in the line. It will not find it inside another word, only highlighting full words. All arguments aside from word are optional
- Parameters
- fg, bg
- These arguments take either a color name from showColors(), or r,g,b format (in string).
- italic
- Boolean value. If it is true, the word will be made italic.
- underline
- Boolean value. If it is true, the word will be underlined.
- bold
- Boolean value. If it is true, the word will be made bold.
- noCase
- Boolean value. If it is true, all of <word> will be matched on the line, regardless of case.
- Example
<lua> colorAll(word,"blue","134,234,12", true, false, false, true) --In this example, all of 'word' will be colored blue on a yellowy-greenish background. --They will be made italic, and the case will not matter. </lua>
isEnemy()
isEnemy(person[, place])
This function will check to see if 'person' is an enemy to 'place', or if 'person' is a known enemy period. This function is made to be extremely quick.

- place
- string value. This is an optional argument for place to check.
