Forums Scripts & Popups scripting word hilights into custom display script

(first i'd like to say 'wow this window we type the posts into is rediculiously small...')

I've been writting a custom display script for mirc, but i've been asked to alter it to add nick highlights. so far i've only been using mirc's highlight feature but the halt command stops that from working. My scripting abilities are extreamly rusty at the moment.
How can i script a highlight into that? thanks if you can help

Well I should learn to chek my profile settings b4 i complain about the forum.
The small size of the 'post' window is defined in the display preferences by
'TextArea columns' and 'TextArea rows'

/haltdef maybe?

Check the -switches for /echo. These can apply applicable settings from mIRCs Options dialog.

echo -mbflirt pretty much covers user messages.

The -m switch indicates that the line should be treated as a user message, not an event.
The -bf switches make it apply the beep/flash settings in the window it is echoing to.
The -l switch makes it apply the highlight settings to the line that's displayed.
The -iN switch indents the wrapped line by N characters.
The -r switch applies the strip settings in the messages dialog.
The -t switch prefixes the line with a timestamp if global time stamping is on or timestamping is on for that window.

The -c switch uses the specified color name from the colors dialog.
(-c quit --- is color 2 by default IIRC)




$+(<,$left($remove($nick(#,$nick).pnick,$nick),1),$nick,>1)

- $+(string,string,string) is like "string $+ string $+ string"

- $nick(#,$nick).pnick = @nick, +nick, etc - but nick may be opped, hopped and voiced (and more) at the same time (e.g. @+nick)

- $remove($nick(#,$nick).pnick,$nick) == @+
- $left($remove($nick(#,$nick).pnick,$nick),1) = @ (in the example)

$+(<,$left($remove($nick(#,$nick).pnick,$nick),1),$nick,>1) = <@nick>1 or <+nick>1 etc

Hi Iori,

we meet again

You forgot to put the $left in your code between the code tags, even though you explained it thorougly. Now it's basically removing nick and appending it again, without effect.

Of course, if this person is anything of a scripter, he could replace it himself, but if not...

Woah yeah, Thanks for pointing that out, again

I'm sure Dingo can manage adding the $left( ,1) into the line.
