this is my script it cant detect a colored slaps....
can sum1 help??

Code:


on *:ACTION:*:#:{
  if ($1- == slaps $me around a bit with a large trout) {
    describe # pokes $nick  =þ
  }
  elseif ($1 == slaps) &amp;&amp; ($2 == $me) {
    describe # ouch!!!

/help $strip

so it would be $strip($1-)
