i've been trying to figure out how to do this. Basically, unless I have already used punctuation, I would like add a period to the end.

In what language?

In Lua you could do something like...

punctuation_table = {"."=true,"?"=true,"!"=true}
if not punctuation_table[string.sub(your_string,-1)] then
   your_string = your_string.."."
end

your_string = '%1'
punctuation_table = {"."=true,"?"=true,"!"=true}
if not punctuation_table[string.sub(your_string,-1)] then
   your_string = your_string.."."
end

is wrong.

You need
ColourNote ("Black", "Blue", " You clanned ".. your_string)
