I'm trying to write a simple script that alerts me whenever the topic of then current channel I'm in changes. I want it to make a sound (got this part done), and then in a custom window make show the channel name, and the topic it was changed to, and have it focus to the channel when I doubleclick it. Right now I've gotten as far as making a custom window that alerts me whenever the topic changes, but I cant figure out how to even add items in the list of the custom window. Here is where I'm at right now: Code: on 1:TOPIC:*:{ { window -dg[2]k[0]lR @Topic-Alerts [ -1 -1 [ 900 500 ] { /iline 3 1 @Topic_$chan $1 } } { flash @Topic-Alerts } { beep 1 1 } } I don't know where I'm going wrong, and what to do now...

I just need one tiny little thing fixed, then I'm sure I can go venture out on my own. How would I make it so that the text is displayed in multiple lines, and all I'd have to do is to scroll vertically to read the rest (instead of the current horizontal way that its at now)? I modified the code a bit, I hope it's not horrible Code: on 1:TOPIC:#:{ window -Cdg2k0mR @Topic-Alerts -1 -1 650 250 aline @Topic-Alerts $chan aline @Topic-Alerts $chan(#).topic flash @Topic-Alerts beep 1 1 } ::edit:: Scratch that, I figured it out. I'm sorry I posted so hastily, I changed the code to the this, it's what I had in mind from the start Code: on 1:TOPIC:#:{ window -Cdg2k0mR @Topic-Alerts -1 -1 650 250 aline @Topic-Alerts < $chan changed $asctime > echo @Topic-Alerts $chan(#).topic flash @Topic-Alerts beep 1 1 } What I'd really like to know is how I can make specific channel windows flash (like how it works in the "highlight" option), and how to place an action on the event that I close the /window ... again sorry, and thanks Last edited by razraz; 29/06/06 02:58 AM.
