I have a script that sends text from one channel to another with /msg $chan

So I did a script today to manage that text entered there, but I discover the script can't handle any text with ON INPUT
When I type and press enter it reads perfectly, but when I send the text with /msg # command, nothing happens.

I wonder if there's any event trigger command to read messages send by myself besides ON INPUT

thanks in advance

on INPUT triggers for text you enter in a window editbox, regardless of whether or not that text results in a message being sent somewhere. on INPUT includes windows that aren't even valid targets for messages (such as the Status window).

To detect outgoing messages you have a few options:
1) Make a "msg" alias that does whatever it is you need. This can be proactive (you can change the message before it's sent), but will only catch messages sent with /msg, so you'll still need an on INPUT event if you want to catch directly-typed messages too.
2) Use /debug's -i switch to parse incoming/outgoing IRC protocol messages. This is purely reactive (you can't change/stop messages using this method).
3) Use Saturn's io.dll. This can be proactive, and, like /debug, will allow you to catch all outgoing messages on the protocol level. The disadvantage is that it needs updating with each new mIRC release.

Thank you for your reply.
Could you give me a example of the 1) option ?
I didn't understand very well, how could I check if the /msg was sent with an alias.

1st script
Code:
... /msg #chan asd fghjkl qwerty


2nd script: on input part, that doesn't work
Code:
on input.. if(asd isin $1-) { ... _input %var} 

How would it be?

Code:
alias msg {
  if ( $1 == #somechan ) && ( asd isin $2- ) { dostuff }
  !msg $1-
}
