Forums Developers haltdef..

Wouldnt you use haltdef to say make your on join/part script where you can make the joins and part look how u want for instance:

on *:JOIN:#: { haltdef | echo -a >> $nick has joined $chan }

but that didn't work..

on ^*:JOIN:#: { echo -a >> $nick has joined $chan | haltdef }

had it backwards :P, thanks

/haltdef being the first command was not the problem. /haltdef can be placed anywhere in the script, unlike /halt. The problem was that you were missing the ^ prefix.

Oh, ok so what is the ^ prefix for, i'm missing somthing..but I do hae it wokring now, thanks again.

The ^ prefix is for halting the default message.

/help halting default text

Thanks Seifer

Actually the ^ prefix is for making the event trigger before the default action. /halt is what halts the default action. So, ^ is needed because it makes no sense to /halt something after it has happened.

Battle of the scripters!

If you wanna get technical... lol
