I get, 'msg, insufficient parameters' with this script

Code:
alias rara {  
  while (%i <= $nick(#dark-klix,0)) {  
    msg $chan !getlink $nick(#dark-klix,%i) 
    /timer 1 2 /rara
    inc %i  
    halt
  }  
  else { 
    %i = 1
    halt
  }   
}


when I change msg to echo, I get
'msg, insufficient parameters'

When I try it on a clean IRC client it works...


What can be the problem?

erm, so if you use the code you pasted with the word 'echo' instead 'of 'msg' you get the error? With that change, the code you pasted cannot produce that error...

It does, want screenies?

that code gives me, */msg Insufficient parameters.

on a clean Irc it gives me what it should do.

There is nothing else in the file, its loaded its doubled checked...

If it errors when you change msg to echo, then you must have an overwritten echo alias, try !echo

You're using the identifier $chan, which means that the alias will only work if called from an event which fills the $chan identifier.


Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

It also works if the active window is a channel.

Code:
alias test echo -a $chan


/test

I know it works with you, It works with me, IF I use a plain client.
When I use my regular client it doesnt work.
this thread isnt about the code its about what could be wrong with my main irc.

Your msg alias is probably overwritten, try typing //!echo -a $isalias(msg), if it echo's "$true", then you have a /msg alias which is being called instead of the default one, in which case you can either delete the alias or use /!msg
