Some of my scripts need to get user modes from another user (because I need to know if he has +r mode, and avoid kicking him, for example), and I have to do it by raw 352, which can suppose an important time wasting, and also make script not work properly sometimes, if I have a little lag, for ex. I think something as elemental as $umodes(nick) identifier should be implemented on mIRC; but also makes me think that it's not implemented due to some reason, because it seems to be obvious it's utility (in that case, if someone know why, please post it here ) The identifier only should retrieve 'visible' umodes (avoiding retrieve modes like +i, for ex), of course. What do you think about it? ================== Abstraction is art.

Another idea could be adding a property to $ial that would return umodes from the other user ($ial().umodes, for ex).

My point is, consider this: Code: alias listmodes { var %i = 1 while ($nick($chan,%i)) { echo -a $nick($chan,$nick($chan,%i)).umodes inc %i } } What do you think will happen there? :tongue:

As you've said, if it could be only done by who/whois, I think it wouldn't make any sense.. it's a pity, this 'identifier' could make many scripters life a bit easier ================== Abstraction is art.
