Hello I would like to include spaces before my msg because twitch will otherwise say its identical to the prev message.

Code:
on *:text:*hello*:#: {
  if (%flood) { return }
  set -u4 %flood On
  msg $chan (space)(space)hi $nick
}


But it will automaticly remove the spaces
msg $chan hi $nick

How do I make it so the spaces will also send?
