Forums Scripts & Popups multiple on Text: events do not execute

on 1:TEXT:*:#: {
do stuff
}

on 1:TEXT:*:#: {
do different stuff
}

In the above example, why doesn't the 2nd on TEXT event trigger ?

regards, Mark

what commands do you have for them? are those the alias or did u just use that has a sample? If your not working with groups you can use on *:TEXT:*:#: so that will trigger on any text in a channel. Im not for sure what all u have going on with your commands but if your grouping and if that 2nd one was for a differnt group then u need to use group#:text:*:#

This Thread explains why this is so...

There really isn't a need to have the exact same event twice in your script. Combine all commands under one eventline.

I guess your response tells me that there is a reason that mirc does not like two on text events !!



i understand that i can combine the two events into a single event and use if-then statements to execute the appropriate command, but why can;t i use separate on text events?

You can, but they must be in different files. mIRC always executes the first matching event in each file, then moves on to the next file.

does your first event have a "halt" in it ? if so that's probably the problem. once it hits that halt it won't look for any more events. it just stops dead at that point.

That's not right.

mIRC triggers one ^ event and one non ^ event per file. Halting only makes a difference to the triggering event and those with the & prefix.

Thanks for the responses ..
i think i now understand
