That does nothing, -at all-.

I'm not the best with scripting either, I'm still in my learning stages. Could you explain what that does, exactly? The help file confuses me. :P

If this helps: the ID from the players name needs to be extracted from the actual name. If I were to just use $1 (look above, this is the playername followed by the ID (*) e.g. Kim_Annabeth(4), this would return the entire name & ID, Kim_Annabeth(4). And obviously that name isn't going to be in the IRC channel, however Kim_Annabeth would be.

I can't take away the IDs - it's a part of the gaming server, so the (*) MUST be extracted for this script to work.
