Do you have 'Identifier Warning' off?

Not sure what you mean, to be honest.

Wait, you said it works if you specify "!noop" instead of "noop"? Then I do believe you have an alias that has overwritten mIRC's built in /noop Commmand. To get around this I edited my last bit of code so it calls mIRC's built-in /noop instead.

No, I don't.

Open the script editor (Alt+R), then in the Options menu, click 'Identifier Warning'.

What exactly do the "Identifier warning" on the script editor?

noop is a built-in command and is not an identifier. The identifier warning has nothing to do with it. Even with it enabled, you should not get a warning about noop if you didn't have $ in front of it. There should not be a $ in front of noop. You can verify this by typing the following in mIRC's edit line-

//noop echo -a test

You should not receive any kind of message or echo because noop prevents the display.

It just tells you if you used an identifier that isn't valid. For example, if you type:

//echo -a This is a fake identifier: $fake

With the option enabled, you will receive an error about that being an invalid identifier. If the option is disabled, it will be evaluate to $null and you'll see:

This is a fake identifier:

(It will just not show anything for the identifier)

You mean something like this?

//var %t $noop(echo -a test) | %t

* No such identifier: $noop

hmm nice now i understand! is there any way to enable/disable this with an alias command?

Yes, that will give you an error, but you should not try to use noop as an identifier. It is a command as I stated.

General reply.

You can read jaytea's post to understand why using noop with filter is a problem, and it's not about /!noop at all
$noop() doesn't exist, so if you have the identifier warning on, mirc will report an error, this is the same for any non existing alias, he could have used "thidoesnotexist", when you don't have that warning on, any non existing identifier returns $null.

/!command only search for the builtin command and $~ident only call the
built in identifier, so as a side effect, it won't produce the error if you have the warning on.

Jaytea's post also describe the fastest way to use filter to get $filtered filled, it's to use "~~" as an alias.

Thanks, I just replaced noop for ~~ in my code.

FroggieDaFrog, post the new updated code to copy, thanks!

Ok here is my alias after editions:
