One way around this is to use a /timer to initiate an input request after the script ends. So i put something like this: on :notice:identify:?:if ($nick == NickServ) { .timer 1 1 msg NickServ IDENTIFY $input(Insert your password for the nick $me,poqs,Password,Input Password) } That returns: $input: can't use in an event so what's the problem here? is it a bug? the same occurs with $? using or not timers.

If you use a script such as this, be very aware of where you are. If you lose your password due to an auto-identification script, you won't get your nick back.

I'm on netgamers which uses a uworld service bot called P. the auth is done by using: /msg P@cservice.netgamers.org LOGIN <NAME> <PASS> this makes it impossible for others to fool you into being P, because the reply you send goes to 1 server only. people have to spoof their hostmask to get around this one ;-] with nickserv it's always best to use /NICKSERV and not /MSG NICKSERV... If it ain't broken, don't fix it!
