Also, note that /scon and /scid double evaluate their parameters, in your case it's working because you only have one command, when mirc see the condition, it just see : Code: if ($window(Status Window).state != maximized) echo 4 -a yes because the { and } has been evaluated Code: //scid 1 if ($window(Status Window).state != maximized) { echo 4 -a yes \| echo -a yeah } would not work as expected Last edited by Wims; 16/06/10 04:07 PM. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

Use "/scid N somealias" then make an alias "/somealias" to do what you want. This will avoid a few of the problems that are harder to anticipate. 2.) Use "/scid N", then on the next line do your if statement. (If you want to return to the original cid after that, you need to use "/scid -r".)

It is a bug for me, I can reproduce this on 6.35. Last edited by Khaled; 17/06/10 09:22 AM. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

This is due to the way MDI windows work. When an MDI window is maximized, all other windows in the MDI container are changed to a non-maximized state by Windows. Only when the window becomes active is it set back to a maximized state. I could make mIRC return a fake state value for a window if 1) the top, active window is maximized, and 2) the window you are checking is in a visible, restored state. That would resolve the issue, however it would not be returning the actual window state.

Anyway this should help... I have mIRC set to startup with windows and when it does I get this. Code: Script: on :START: { scon 1 echo 4 @console Debug (active):2 $active scon 1 echo 4 @console Debug (network):2 $network scon 1 echo 4 @console Debug (cid):2 $cid scon 1 echo 4 @console Debug (server):2 $server } Output: Debug (active): Debug (network): Quakenet Debug (cid): 1 Debug (server): If I close mIRC and I restart it. It shows up normally with the first connection window as displaying. Here's what it's like when I restart it once my PC has booted. Code: Script: on :START: { scon 1 echo 4 @console Debug (active):2 $active scon 1 echo 4 @console Debug (network):2 $network scon 1 echo 4 @console Debug (cid):2 $cid scon 1 echo 4 @console Debug (server):2 $server } Output: Debug (active): Status Window Debug (network): Quakenet Debug (cid): 1 Debug (server): I don't know what this is but it drives me nuts, but I'm close to making a script to make mIRC behave it's just taking lots of messing around so hoping you can fix it ._.
