Forums General Discussion RAW 352 anomaly

This is weird. Im using who $nick with raw 352 to check someones usertag ($9-) to say whether they are a script or a browser.

Raw 352, $2 == $chan
So lets say I /who $nick in $chan(3)

My problem is most nicknames return $chan(3) for $2, but some of these are returning $chan(1). So it appeared at first that if the nick was also in $chan(1) it returned $chan(1), but there are some nicks that are in $chan(1) and raw 352 returns the correct channel. ($chan(3)) Do I make sense? THIS DOESN'T!! :p

I use $2 to message the channel they are in.
on join:/who $nick
raw 352:if (its not webchat) msg $2 $6 is a script!

I know I can set a variable on join to save the channel name to work around it, but I want to know why this is doing this!

Any ideas?

/who isn't channel-specific. mIRC looks at your open channels and labels them based on the order you joined them. The /who (most likely) lists the channels a user is in based on the order they joined the channels. Obviously, these won't always be the same thing. So when you use /who, the $2 is probably the first channel the user joined, which isn't necessarily your $chan(1).

As a disclaimer, I don't really know the answer. This is all speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was correct.

I regret to inform you that your suggestion doesn't match up with the information located here

It states

Unfortunately this doesn't help understand why the original poster is obtaining the results he is.

The OP isn't performing the /who on a channel, he's performing it on the nick, so that doesn't apply.

I believe the previous posters are correct. If you /who #channel1, the response will always show each nick as being on #channel1. However, if you /who Nick, the IRC server will return the first channel that the user joined on that server.

Even though you are typing /who Nick in a channel window, the IRC server has no idea which window you are typing in. The command sent to the server (/who nick) doesn't reflect the channel name in any way.

Exactly.

Ok Thanks!! I learned something new!! I will just set the channel as a variable on join.
