You had one too many braces in the above code you showed me. ^^ I've modified it slightly.
You was after $notify($nick).note
Hope this helps.
Code:
on 1:NOTIFY: {
if (%echo.notify == on) {
echo -a $timestamp %logo Your friend $nick is on IRC. $+($chr(40),$notify($nick).note,$chr(41))
}
if (%sounds == on) {
if (%s.notify.on == on) {
splay sounds\12.notify.wav
}
}
}
