No.
L3P (unlike e.g. L3Lab) doesn't keep track of the current color,
and thus cannot substitute %R, %G, %B, %T.
Colors are inherited, they come from the referencer.
E.g. the _3001_dot_dat object is colorless, but gets the color from
object { _3001_dot_dat material { Color4 } }
object { _3001_dot_dat material { Color1 } }
Inside the _3001_dot_dat declaration the color is unknown.
Also the actual coordinates is not known, at least I don't know how to access them.
L3P could perhaps support fog like it features a floor.
I don't know the fog, do you normally only have one fog?
