Okay, imagine a rectangle that has one corner at the co-ordinates of an active object, and another at the co-ordinates of the mouse. No matter where the mouse and object move, the rectangle resize.
Now imagine a diagonal line running over the rectangle from the object to the mouse. So instead of forming a rectangle as such, it forms two triangles that together make a rectangle.
I can already do this much with a line object, but this next thing is just impossible for me...
How do I make one traingle a different colour to the other?

Well that ain't gonna happen with the line-object that's for sure.
Maybe you can draw 2 triangles and just resize them in-game when the position of your mouse changes. But that will get ugly I guess.

i guess you'd have to make them separate objects for that 
Try just making to alpha channel object triangles and resizing them in-game?

Overlay Redux can do this. I'm just making you an example.

Thanks. Would it be too much for me to ask if you would also post a link to the overlay redux you used? I think there is more than one.

Just curious...
With Line Object, do you mean the buggy DRAWLINE or is there a newer, better line extension available?

Think he means the buggy Drawline one.
The example's here:

I don't know if there are other versions of Redux, I'm not sure which one this would be. I'm assuming it would be this one:

Dude, you rock. Not only did you show me that it is possable, but you also put it in dumbass friendly comments in. Just one question. What is "Str$", and the whole + and ""s thing? I'm used to just numbers and values.

Yeah, that 'shape' feature of Redux takes lots of points as text. So instead of adding each point using an action, you give it a big long text string like this:
"(12,14)(9,11)(15,22)(200,12)" and so on. Each set of brackets means a single point, so "(12,14)" means 'a point at 12x14 on the screen'.
I was grateful for doing that though, cos up until I tried that I didn't actually know how much Redux could do, LOL!
Glad it helped.
