mirc 6.03

when i call my host finder (it scans server and shows in @window results) when i activate it in channel window it works, but when i activate it in status window it DONT work..

why?
how to fix it?

your asking a script specific question.

did you write the script?

if no, then i sugest u contact the person who did, or simply find anouther script that does what u want that does work. Its not a good idea to atempt to edit other ppl's scripts as a newbie, because more goes on in the code then u realize, and even if u manage to fix the first problem, u could have likely created anouther.

if yes, then paste the startup alias to the script so we can see it, and explain in more detail what a 'host scanner' is.

to me a host scaner is where i can scan a channel for all users matching a wildcard string host and show results, in which case .. u normaly wouldnt execute from the status window, because there are no users there to check?

if your script depends on $chan to work, $chan is null unless the script is trigered by a manualy typed alias in a channel editbox, or by a channel related event, such as join, part, etc etc.

this alias

/host.scan {
if ($network == $null) { set %ntw $server }
else { set %ntw $network }
if ($1 == $null) { halt }

}
#Scan.host end

where do you set the %hostmark ?
it probably doesnt work in status because it scans the channel. or doesnt it ? :|

%variables are set on popup click, but that does not matter, and i know that scan wont work in status but EVENT ITSELF IS: call damn /who and show results in @window, now or mirc is stupid or there is some trigger for this ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

mirc will never be smart. it will be as the one using it

Are you enabling the group?

what is that?
do i need to enable it?
and how to enable it?

In the status window # will be null.

if (# == $null) { halt }

i think that isn't what he wants.
bunar: you will have to set on what chan to look for if $active is status window

this does NOT scan channel !
it scan server...

purpose is when you INPUT some domain like .ca or .org it will scan and show you all users on server with that domain uh..

If you are trying to use /host.scan -c *mask* then the line "if (# == $null) { halt }" will be halting the alias because # is null if you're typing in the status window. Remove that line from the alias.
Also make sure you are somehow setting the %hostmark variable, or change the alias to use runtime arguments ($1 $2 etc)

alright !
this is what i call HELPING OUT

you are my savior again !
(all variables are good set, i only needed that help with activating procudure in status)

thanks !
