I can script something fine and well, i just cant think of if there is some type of identifier that tells me. Specificly i want to reply to a PM that I havent looked at, with a autoreply message and or notify me with a echo to my active channel if im on the machine, but i dont want it straight away, i want that delayed some amount of time. I can easly set a timer up to do it, but just wondered, should i invoke a all PM wide reply is there a inbuilt method of detecting if the pm windiow has ever been made the actibve window (ie: i have looked at it already)

Code: on :text::?: { beep 10 100 echo Boing Boing!! You Got A Private Message!! } I felt like doing some more, but hey I have forgoten the syntax for time!! lol. and a tip is not to use this. mIRC got a excellent feature for this in the options->sound check "beep on... Query messages". k? Last edited by Crap; 06/11/05 10:17 AM. #indierpgs @ magicstar.net Your indie-rpg fix. Online.

Code: On :OPEN:?::set $+(%,openquery.,$nick) On *:ACTIVE:?:{ unset $+(%,openquery.,$active) } this way when you click on a window query you unset the variable and you know you've seen it. Then you can add a timer to remind you all the unseen pm. Hope this can help you Last edited by BeYonD_Me; 06/11/05 11:12 AM.

It however from my looking around appears there isnt one

That's an easy fix.. There's nothing exclusive to deal with query windows that I know of.

Code:

on *:open:?:*:{
  set %oquery. [ $+ [ $cid ] ] %oquery. [ $+ [ $cid ] ] $nick
  ; if you want to "check" to see if this query window is open at a later time, use a signal or something.
  ;.signal querycheck $cid $nick
  ; You can put that on a timer or something if you really want to run a check on it.
}
on *:active:?:{
  if ($istok(%oquery. [ $+ [ $cid ] ],$active,32)) {
    set %oquery. [ $+ [ $cid ] ] $remtok(%oquery. [ $+ [ $cid ] ],$active,32)
  }
}

I have been using custom idetifiers accessing autoupdated and saved hashtables for a while now to aviod sets, unless its a -u set. ex. Code: on :open:?::{ $pms.value($window($nick).wid,$ctime) } on *:active:?:{ $pms.value($window($active).wid,$null) } ; alias pms.value { id ($0) { if (!$hget(pms.value)) { hmake pms.value } if ($isfile(pms.value.bin)) { hload -b pms.value pms.value.bin } if (($0 > 1) { $iif($2-,hadd,hdel) pms.value $1 $2- \| hsave -bo pms.value pms.value.bin } elseif ($0 = 1) { return $hget(pms.value,$1) } } } $pms.value(X) returns the value of item X $pms.value(X,Y) sets item X to Y Theres some extra bits to do with error checking in a normal one, but i hand wrote the alias in so didnt include all the bits.

I guess I should have used some type of display of them all and watched what might have chaneged before and after, but i just couldnt see anything that i precieved would have changed. Just tried that out on where its needed and its working just as expected Thanks agian.
