Forums Scripts & Popups on ^*:QUIT: {

I finally made my script's appearance work, with some problems though:

$chan won't work, cause there is no quit channel.
$chan($wid) won't work too, as it echoes in another channel! (weird)
$window won't work (same as $chan)

When I enter $chan or $window, the echo appears in the status window. How can i change that and echo to the window from where the user quits?!
Thanks in advance (advantically :P )

you need to use $comchan

Edit: likes this

Thanks man, you saved my life! I never looked into mIRC's helpfile for that. Thanks again!!!

on ^*:QUIT: {
if ($nick != $me) {
echo -t $chan 7:2[ $+ $asctime(hh:nn:ss) $+ ]3 Quits: $nick ( $+ $address $+ ) ( $+ $1- $+ )
haltdef
}
}

why dosnt taht work? I want it to echo in the channel the person was in

It doesn't work because when someone quits IRC they disconnect from the server, not just the channel. on QUIT doesn't happen in a channel like on TEXT or on ACTION do, so $chan == $null, it says that in the first post of this thread ffs!

so how can i make it so it echos in the chanel they left from?

Have you even read this thread? The answer has already been given, use $comchan!

oops lol ty

One final thought too - you do NOT need the if ($nick == $me). You can simply use the ! switch. Taking your code and changing it around it would be:


on !^*:QUIT: {
echo $color(quit) $chan $timestamp * <- Quits: $nick ( $+ $address $+ ) ( $+ $1- $+ )
haltdef
}

you could even do this:

on !^*:QUIT: {
echo $color(quit) $chan $timestamp * <- Quits: $nick ( $+ $address $+ ) ( $+ $1- $+ ) | haltdef
}

Keep in mind what other people said about $comchan, but this is a way to shrink your code and it still does the same thing. The ! switch is the exact same as saying if ($nick != $me)
