Forums Scripts & Popups On Hotlink

How come $nick returns my nickname in those events? and how to i rectify it so i can do those things?

Also, it's pretty crappy the way i did that, so i was wondering if it can ben made cleaner or shorter?
Thanks for any help, i've only just started using this event.

on ^*:HOTLINK:[whois]:?:{ return }
on ^*:HOTLINK:[chat]:?:{ return }
on ^*:HOTLINK:[close]:?:{ return }
on ^*:HOTLINK:[send]:?:{ return }
;
on *:HOTLINK:[whois]:?:{ whois $active }
on *:HOTLINK:[chat]:?:{ dcc chat $active }
on *:HOTLINK:[close]:?:{ _sendkeys $+($chr(37),Z) }
on *:HOTLINK:[send]:?:{ _sendkeys $+($chr(37),S) $active }

^ how about that (untested)
Cleaner & shorter are not always the same thing, i beleive that very clean and easy to read, its not the shortest, but i doubt it runs much slower.

Becuase you are the $nick triggering the event, its your mouse thats over something! Try using $active, sicne it triggers on the $active window.

I was wondering, is there a reason your using sendkey rather than just closing the window? or just using /dcc send $active (was $nick)?
I can see some, just dont know if u needed to use that.

Thanks DaveC, that solved it.
Reason i'm using a sendkey alias, is because i made my own treeview switchbar, and using a key combo like alt + z, it refreshes it once, and not using 2 commands (1 to close the window and 1 to refresh the switchbar)
