Worklog 99 ported piros_colour for the town: crate::piros::Sequence, and the town host's flashes and tint. Outside the towns the instruction still fell to the host default. Event 22 uses it there in two blocks:

• block 16, in area 31's field;
• block 19, after block 18's in_dungeon for its dungeon.

Each runs every play pass while Piros is present. They mark him as the target and hold the tint.

The port

The host. area_host.rs now does what the town's host does:

• It builds the Sequence from eventStatus[1], the line and whether Piros is here, and applies its first actions.
• busy(PirosColour) ticks it.
• Its actions go to the sound effects, the field UI's information line, the area's scFadeDef and Piros's tint. area.rs now sends scFadeDef on the font layer, as the town does.

The tint. Piros's tint lives on his actor in the fights. FieldWorld::set_affect_colour finds his character by id and sets the actor's AffectColour.

The draw. Like ccChar::Draw, the port takes the blend each time the character is drawn: in the fellow's and Kite's draw hooks in stage.rs. A flash's rate counts down there. draw_cast now draws the others through Body::draw_char_fog with that blend.

Checked

event_22_tints_piros_in_area_31 plays event 22 in both places:

• It starts story:22 directly in area 31's field, and again in its first dungeon room.
• Piros is in the party, with eventStatus[1] 2: the potion drunk in the town.
• Both end with his character tinted fix 1, rate 65, 0x002080ff, and take_unported() empty.

The board's blocks. A first run did nothing:

• Every one of event 22's blocks depends on eventStatus[0] == 1, which the board's block 1 sets.
• Its block 0, which runs once at the first pass, sets it to 0.
• A start that skips the board has to put the 1 back after block 0 has run. The test does that during the set-up (board_done).

The picture. event_22_dungeon_shot turns the camera round with L1 after the tint and shows Piros orange and targeted in the dungeon.
