Forums Scripts & Popups how to modify output look

what i want to do is change the way text you enter is displayed in the channel window. i already know how to change text that is sent TO your computer (a *^:text: remote)
but this doesn't work on text YOU write. basically i wanna change is to mirc displays text instead of this way:
<Vandalite> text...

to something like this
[2:03am]«! Vandalite» text...

where in the code can i do that?

Use on *^:INPUT

does the ^*:input: remote trigger if a script outputs something to the channel?

the "halting default text" carrot ( ^ ) doesn't work on input... It already prefixed dafult text >:D

Vandalite: No, you could use a /msg alias to do that perhaps..

KingTomato: Bah!

Was it something i said? >:D

what did you mean by "It['s] already prefixed dafult text"?

its just that when i DON'T put the carrot there, the text is displayed twice. one formatted the way it was, and one formatted the way i want it.

oh, and i think i might have found a workaround.
if the .say command is used in the script, nothing goes to your window. you can then use your own echo command to replace the stock text.

this is gonna need some work...

easist work around is at the end of you on *:input: { is to use halfdef. that tells mirc not to process its default handling, getting rid of the default output.
