Forums mIRC Help Anyway to make mIRC perform a whois upon private

Or whatever the official name is for double clicking someone's name to message them and at the same time perform a whois?

I would have suggested using something like the following in a remote script:


But for some reason I can't get on:open events to trigger ( on:close works, though - v7.22 ).

If you're clicking in the channel nicklist:

ALT + O --> Mouse --> Nicklist --> //whois $$1 | //query $$1

If you want to do it automatically even if you DONT click on the channel nicklist name:

on *:open:?://whois $nick

steeeve, it USED to be (not sure anymore) that if you have more than ONE of the same type of event in a script file, only the first one will fire.

With the correct syntax, your on OPEN events should work fine...



You have an extra * in your event.

And, yes, landonsander, only the first matching event will trigger.

Actually you might want to just type the following in an editbox:



This way it will even whois when you /query NICK in the editbox (if you ever do this), or if a popup does this to open a query window. Otherwise it will only trigger on double clicks. The above alias will work in more scenarios.

Note that there is an option in Alt+O -> IRC to enable whoising when someone messages you, which you should enable even if you use the above alias, but not if you use the ON OPEN script.

That is the syntax according to the help file. Either way, this still doesn't work for the intended purpose. Looks like there has to be content in order for it to trigger.

I.e.

Will work with (presuming you aren't already talking to yourself):

But not with:



The 'double-click on user' only does the latter (afaik).

This is in a fresh v7.22 install.

Perhaps it's by design (there are other caveats, after all - 'on open' not triggering on custom windows, e.g.) - but it does mean the initial thought I had doesn't work.
