Forums Scripts & Popups mask list

hello

I have this script



but I dont want to use my ignore list, since I need it to actually ignore some people

I want to use another list, but protect list (which I never use) doesnt work (still msgs people that are in the list)

can you give me any alternative?

thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you want to send a message to people that aren't on a specific list when they join the channel.

If this is the case, you might use something like

and use a user list for storing the people that you don't want it sent to
To add the person's address use /auser -a protect $fulladdress

btw, ALL users are isreg the moment they join. All users, on join, are regular users until services/person/bot changes their user modes

the strange is that while ($fulladdress !isprotect) doesnt work ($nick !isprotect) works and matches masks as well!

can anyone explain this?

You put nicks in the protect list, so it matches nicks.

it seems it matches idents and hosts as well

I think, but am more than willing to be corrected on this if I'm wrong, that when you add a nick to the protect list, it adds it in the equivalent address format of nick!*@*.*
Which, in turn, would make it match any ident and/or address, so long as the nick matches.

I've always used addresses and done things like "if a wildcard match of joined-nick is on the protect list, do stuff
