Horizontal and Vertical Line at Open

I am creating a script for myself that plots a Horizontal and a Vertical Line at the Open, and Vertical Lines at 10:00 and another at 15:30 EST. I have used examples here to create what I have, thanks to all of you. I would like to be able to change the color, curve and description in properties Here is the script as far as I have been able to create it. I suspect it is a quick fix for someone who knows the language.

CODE:
Code:
# Create Horizontal and Vertical lines at Open. Vertical lines at 9:00 EST and 1530 EST.

def na = Double.NaN;

# open/close times (EST)
input start = 0930;
input end = 1600;

def dayopen = if SecondsTillTime(start) == 0 then 1 else 0;
def daytime = if SecondsFromTime(start) >= 0 and SecondsTillTime(end) > 0 then 1 else 0;

def openbar = if !daytime then na
else if dayopen then open
else openbar[1];

plot ob1 = openbar;
ob1.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
ob1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
ob1.HideBubble();

# AddVerticalLines
input targetTime1000 = 1000;
input targetTime1530 = 1530;
input showverticals = yes;

def tt2 = SecondsFromTime(targetTime1000) == 0;
AddVerticalLine(tt2, " 1st Half Hour", Color.WHITE, Curve.SHORT_DASH );

def tt3 = SecondsFromTime(targetTime1530) == 0;
AddVerticalLine(tt3, " Last Half Hour", Color.WHITE, Curve.SHORT_DASH );

change color using getcolor()

# ema10_cross_20_chg

# color choose
# this doesn't assign the color in quotes.
# the location of the picked color , in the series, is changed to a number for getcolor()
# ex. pink is the 3rd number. 3 is sent to getcolor()
# look up getcolor() to see the sequence of colors
input Color1_choice = {default "magenta", "cyan", "pink", "gray", "orange", "red", "green", "dark_gray", "yellow", "white"};

Thanks working on adding this option to the script, I can still use some help in figuring out why the vertical line at Open is not rendering.
