Forums Scripts & Popups IP of $nick

I ran a search but couldn't find a question that seemed to coincide with mine, so..

How do you go about getting the IP of $nick in a script? I have a script that logs people's nicks when they break the rules of
my channel. I was wondering if there was a way to get it to
add their IPs to the log.

I tried adding ( $ip ) into it, but then when I opened the file it's saving all the trespasses to it seemed weird how much
every IP resembled that of my firewall.


Anyways, thanx in advance for any help.

/help $ip
$ip
Returns your IP address.

You have to /DNS user & wait response from it with on dns event, to get IP, why don't you just log their host names?

$address(nickname,type)
Searches the Internal Address List for the address associated with the specified nickname.

$address(nick,1) returns *!*user@host

If the Internal Address List doesn't contain a matching nickname, the identifier returns $null.

See $mask() for a list of types.

The internal Address list is updated when you or any user joins a channel, so all you have to do is check $address and use a $gettok to seperate the host or ip from the nickname and ident

I used $address( $nick , 0) and that does exactly what I need.

Thanks alot, man!

You could also use $wildsite

$wildsite, however, works only within remote events.

shouldn't you dns to get the ip is the user is logged into the network with an ip?
$address $wildsite and everything will get ya the address he uses now... not his ip if he has his host...?
