It requires '/me attacks' commands in DCC CHAT. This is the event that is used: Code: ON 2:Chat:ACTION attacks*:{ However, I'm running the script on version 7.29. And it doesn't work. I did some investigation, and I found that this was being returned in $1- in the CHAT event: Code: attacks Zombie Whereas in version 6.16 I got this: Code: ACTION attacks Zombie Which means the script isn't forwards compatible, and there's no reliable way to differentiate between normal messages and actions in DCC sessions. Unless I'm missing something...? As long as we stand, we will fight!

You should not complain about a version that has not been supported for that long. Its like saying that ALL DOS commands should work in Windows 8. And you know that is not true. Help others! It makes the world a better place, Makes you feel good, and makes you Healthy!

He isn't complaining about the older version. He's complainig about the current version. Without ACTION being present in $1- there is no longer a way to detect it. Functionality has been removed.
