I have the following problem. I want my bot to message me, when it receives a private message. on *:TEXT:*:?:{
.msg mynick 05PRIVATE MESSAGE from $nick $+ : $1-
}That works fine, but not when I change my nick. To mynick|afk or whatever.... Is this also possible to do on hostmask or something? Or does anyone have a solution for this?

Make it simple: message your bot your new nickname when you change it and let him store it in some variable and then use it. That will work in all cases.

You can also use an on nick event on your bot to watch for when you change your nick and then change the variable based on that. Of course, when you join the channel, it will still have your last-used nick, which could be different from the one you're currently using, and that can make it not work until you change your nick to the last-used nick or reset the variable in the bot.
Perhaps the best method would be to give the bot all possible nicks you'll use and then have it check if (nick ison #) with each nick. If it's on the channel, it will message you. This also makes it so the bot doesn't get an error if you aren't connected.

Thx for that Riamus.
I indead used the on Nick event for it.
I've been testing it a little, and it seems to be working fine.
Regarding the joining of a channel. I already have my main nick always returning to default using a scripted on start and on exit. So I just added a line, to also reset the variable back to my default nick. This way it should always match.
And, I will always be online if my bot is online. It's just a copy of mIRC, it will never run without my main client being connected as well.
Thx for the advices though.

Actually, if your nick is always static like your showing me like the mynick and mynick|AFK this is easily fixable if you never change part of the nick
on *:TEXT:*:?:if mynick isin $nick msg $nick msghere
the isin will check that if mynick isin the nick that messages you then it will message because because it found a match
:P
if $reality > $fiction { set %sanity Sane }
Else { echo -a *voices* }

Hmm yeah you're right. But it's almost always like that, not always, always...  I'm gonna settle for the current solution. It seems waterproof to me. But also thx for thinking along

You could use your original code, just replacing mynick with $me

Then it would message itself (the bot) instead of me

you could at some point set a var in the bot with your nick
you could then have an on:nick event that checks if $nick == %thevar set %thevar $newnick

If both clients are on the same PC he could use DDE and never have to worry about nicks  No need for levels, nicks, hosts, vars, servers. All it requires is for DDEserver to be turned on on the main client only. The bot doesnt even need it's DDE server on for ex. ; For the bot
on ^*:open:?:{
dde [color:green]mIRC[/color] command "" /botmsg 05PRIVATE MESSAGE from $nick $+ : $1-
halt
}
;Swap "[color:green]mIRC[/color]" for your actual DDEserver name, on the main client; For the Main client
alias botmsg {
var %a = [color:blue]botnick[/color]
if !$query(%a) { query -n %a }
echo -itlbfmr %a $+(<,%a,>) $1-
}
Swap "[color:blue]botnick[/color]" for the bots nick. :)

Else { echo -a *voices* }

this seams to work a little better, and with some modification, this can be used to run multiple bots, should you have more than 1. (simply add $me to message someware) Bot side on *:text:*:?:{
dde mIRC command "" /botmsg $+ $color(normal) $+ $network $+ $chr(58) $+ $nick $+ $chr(58) $1-
halt
}
on *:action:*:?:{
dde mIRC command "" /botmsg $+ $color(action) $+ $network $+ $chr(58) $+ $nick $+ $chr(58) $1-
halt
} Main client side alias botmsg {
if !$window(@bot) { window -azk0 @Bot }
echo -itlbfmr @Bot $1-
}
