Not entirely true, with servers that support the /watch list, you can add nicknames on connect and monitor who is online/offline with raw 601, 604 and 607.
maybe telling him to add another if statement to each nick he wants to have in the event would have been the way to go rather than telling him its not possible. he never said he didnt want to use the internal list ..... he just didnt want to loose the other settings there
JACK: to answer the question ud do something like
on *:NOTIFY: { if $nick == JACKSPARROW { do stuff } if $nick == SECONDNICK { do something else } if $nick == THIRDNICK { do another neat trick } else { jump up and down and do tricks } } basically thats kinda what id suggest ..... but if im misunderstanding u please help point out exactly what your saying and im sure we can figure something out.
lammkott: as for the watchlist yes thats another idea but since its not available on every network its hard to suggest that as an option not knowing where the user is @
